Official 2026 Midterm Election Thread (If Trump lets us have one! TIC!)

[dabrockster]

Actually, they are. That's why Platner and Swallwell got canceled and Trump hasn't.

I don't think it's because the accuser was a "lefty" but rather that this one has supporting evidence.

They had no intention to remove these guys. They saw a seat not going there way so they pivoted. Delusions of grandeur that Dems have some high road moral superiority is laughable.

[Maximus]

Lol at you weirdos who insist that people like Kavanaugh and Collins are some extreme psychos. The Overton window has certainly shifted.

lol she is a maga purist like the rest/ trump could do anything and shed bite the bullet.

anyone who supports trump in congress is an extremist.

Hey Siri, where was Swalwell in the polls before he was forced to exit the race?

Support for a half-dozen top contenders in the race ticked up since March, when Swalwell led the field with 17 percent in a March iteration of the Emerson survey.

we’re talking about the OG sexual abuse enabling party with the Dems I know, but at least currently their bar is not to support serial sexual abusers.

What if Trump wanted to pass tax legislation called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Do you think she'd oppose that?

Or what if Trump wanted to establish a $1.8 billion fund for Jan 6ers, would she oppose that?

Interesting that Collins voted to convict Trump on impeachment charges and has opposed several other of his pet projects.

Susan Collins is also scored as the most bipartisan senator (it's been this way for almost a decade) and it's not even close: 2023_BPI_Senate.pdf

Collins isn't an extremist or seen as one. She frustrated liberals because when her votes can really stymie Trump, she folds or abstains.

Haha. Ben from the top rope.

Ok Ben. Now let's talk about Hegseth's crusader tats or Stephen Miller's affection for the fashy book, Camp of the Saints.

This is rich. The consultant who convinced Platner to run and did minimal vetting of him was....barred from a congresswoman's campaign after sexual misconduct allegations.

Oh yeah. That for sure. Any chance to take a branch of government away from Trump's control needs to be jumped on

Frank, if you can't appreciate a good dig at Tucker Carlson's expense without reverting to a purity test, I think politics may have broken your brain.

I won't lie. I'm pleased to see the Shapiro / Carlson friction.


But I can't Shapiro for different reasons. Politics has not broken my brain. I'm not rallying to the cause of solving the mystery of the reflection pool concerns, or believing Trump makes sense.
God forbid you ever agree with anything I post.

Uh, that is a joke appended to the end of a very partisan attack that says a lot more about Republicans than it does Democrats (or at the very least equal). Strange that you elevated his amateurish dig at Tucker above the actual substance of the post and then chided frank about it.

But you probably think my brain has been broken as well. This feels like yelling "TDS!" when someone criticizes Trump. Go ahead and ignore the substance if you want, but frank's "purity test" has suddenly become your own anti-political purity test.

Fusnik was the king of purity tests but he doesn't hang out here anymore. Maybe Jeff is needing someone else. Frank is way less inflammatory than Fusnik though.

[frank ryan]

Sounds like Trump is going to sack the bipartisan commission that overseas elections. That''s pretty fucky.
