The dream is almost dead.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Trump a few hours ago. Pulse of the nation!


FoxNews Ratings are way down (27%!) because they’re spending too much time covering the Trump Deranged Dumocrats! All of those people who used to watch Fox, and no longer do, get it. It’s them, not me — My numbers are better than they have ever been. The new CNN Poll stated that “TRUMP” is at 99% among Republicans and, among Republican Presidents, “TRUMP” is at 53%, compared to Ronald Reagan at 18%, and Abraham Lincoln at 8%! Fox knows this, and so does everyone else! Also, why is Fox Corp. spending so much money donating to the Worst of the Worst, including Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Raskin, Ted Lieu, Pete Aguilar, the California Dumocratic Party, the Dumocratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Dumocratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, the CHC Bold PAC, and the New Dumocrat Coalition Action Fund, among others? No wonder FoxNews Ratings are collapsing, and they’re going to go down a lot further. They’re way down, not because of me, but because they are AGAINST me! This happened once before, and Fox almost collapsed. It’s happening again! President DONALD J. TRUMP

I told them what was happening, they did not listen.

I will not call people names today, but I do hope lessons will be learned. What a disaster for the GOP.

The first 2 years of Trump 2.0 have not been great, and the last 2 are going to be worse. Have to hope he lives up to campaign promises and ends the wars. Unfortunately I don’t see that happening because our 80 year old leader is going to be too busy battling the Dems.

Total, utter suburban collapse in the South. Pure chaos.

One true possibility is that Rs will have to re-form as a new party.

 

[Semi-elite R2R athlete]

The Golden Age we were promised! Total Democratic control caused by the utter incompetence of a former democrat con man.

Who could’ve seen this coming?

Don’t even have to call them names. Their absence from their favorite hobby speaks volumes.

Pretty sure it didn’t sit well with polite folks in the south, that take being a gentleman serious, the Trump Jesus thing, the talk of annihilation, talking about *** all the time, it doesn’t sit well down here in the Bible Belt. We talked about this and everyone thought it didn’t matter. On top of that, the economy is a mess, we are in a war he said the other would get us in if elected, not sure why anybody is surprised.

I honestly don’t mind the silence. They should shut the f up for a day. Or longer.

Yep, the R's are fairly lousy at putting national-level political power to good use and have been for a generation at least. The Trump era is winding down so they won't be able to use him as an excuse much longer. I see him as more of a symptom than a cause of R woes, though, so him sunsetting probably won't be enough. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the R's don't have control of anything on the national level for the balance of my life (20-30 years if I'm lucky), and at the moment they don't deserve it. We'll see if they can successfully rebrand as D-lites or whatever, to avoid complete one-party rule, but a lot of people I know are of a fool-me-once mindset and not real anxious to support team red going forward. I think it'll take more than a rebranding, they'll have to make substantive changes and learn how to perform in the national arena and actually deliver something tangible to voters.

Lindsay Graham in 2016. He said that the Republicans choosing Trump as their candidate would mean the DEATH of the Republican party. Of course, that didn't stop him from becoming a Trump kiss-***. His original take was correct.

I think it’ll turn a little sooner myself, the Dems haven’t been killing it either and are quite likely to fumble. If either side showed basic competence they’d never lose!

Congrats to the deranged! A happy day indeed (for you). We will see what happens to Texas now that blue is the color (wasn't just a Paxton problem).

A definite bad day for Trump, but he will adapt. Let's see who he fires in his administration in the coming weeks.

I'd say divided government is always a positive, but this will just be 2 more years of it since Thune and the Senate Rs did their job the last 2 years and stifled any truly meaningful legislation. When Thune blocked recess appointments, he made his intentions clear. I can't say the Rs in Congress earned reelection, so now we hope to get affordability from the party that gave us 9.1 percent inflation.

Anyway, I will prosper and America will move forward. Always know that Wall Street will go up regardless of the party in power.

RDS' legacy is Florida survived the carnage. That makes him my early pick for 2028.

I hope you're right because one-party rule would be a disaster. Two things the D's do well that R's seem to perpetually fail at is that when push comes to shove they generally close ranks and get things done, and they have some sense of how to play the long game in parallel with advancing short-term agendas.

Some much bigger problems could be on the horizon.

How does the oil and gas industry feel about the new Texas governor that as a state representative from Austin, Hinojosa scored 100% on the Sierra Club’s environmental voting scorecard. She sponsored (but did not pass) bills on gas-capture plans for drilling permits and reducing methane flaring. She voted against certain industry-friendly measures, including economic incentives for oil and gas companies and legislation that limited liability for treating/using fracking wastewater (HB 49). Any voter thinking the Ds are the solution to prices ,ought think real hard on their policies as applied to places like Texas. Iran has to be laughing their asses off this morning.

Does Elon continue to spend money to grow in a blue state? I doubt it.

In my little bubble yesterday, I had lunch with a retired investor that had a video call with several other investors to help get a wealthy neighborhood off the ground within an hour of Houston. While texting this morning, he sent me a link to a similar project in Tennessee they will be shifting their funds into. This is one example in my tiny bubble.

I anticipate the Dems will spend a lot of time and money chasing Trump, his family and cabinet around in DC while the newly elected local Ds around the US will implement difficult environmental regulation and troublesome building and business codes to slow growth.

I do not expect shortsighted voters to understand the potential negatives here from last night.

The clowns here celebrating this are just not very business savvy and that drives our economy.

 

[AzIllini]

Don't worry, your politics make you a better person than me. On that you agree 100% with the left!

The tears are going to be so sweet.

I'll tell you what. NO MORE TRUMPS! NO VANCES! NO LOONS!

Normal people win elections. The clown show **** only works if the opponent offers up something awful.

Unfortunately the DSA is not a wing of the Democrat party, it is the Democrat party after this election. California had a transitional moment when the govt went from competitive elections to Dem super majorities. The last republican governor was Schwarzenegger, who left office in 2011 and now 15 years later the R's hold zero statewide offices and likely never will. Where is America heading if the Dems take the White House in 2028?

It is worrying that 55% of Texans can vote for someone like Talarico. Does it suggest that 55% of Texans want far left government, because that is what they are going to get. The R's have a lot of losses to analyze.

Finally, it will be interesting to see what AOC does. Does she play the long game and just take Schumer's seat in 2028 or does she go all in to win the Dem presidential nomination by winning the primaries. She and Bernie helped elect a lot of people and if she wants it she probably can get it.

I would predict her to rake major donations and run for the WH. The socialists have been rightfully emboldened.

Still a passive aggressive ***** I see. Do something about me calling you that.

 

[dtrain79]

Last I checked the Texas legislature would need to sign off on most of what Hinojosa wants to do.

Arizona remains completely fine under its Dem Governor.

What several on here need to do is change how they view politics. They wanted a fight to the death, and now they are … dead. Great job fellas!

 

[dtrain79]

Trump has quite literally stolen billions and started illegal wars, and I have to hear about poor Elon and some self-flagellating ******* from Houston.

Texas did not become a Democratic stalwart last night, IT REJECTED THE POLITICS OF ******** LIKE PASSIVE BESTGRESSIVE.

LIKE BRUCE WEBER AND ILLINI HOOPS, THIS WAS ALWAYS GOING TO END WITH THE GOP DESTROYED.

LOOK IN THE MIRROR GOOD AND HARD.

 

[dtrain79]

Until the people on here who have defended the worst of Trump’s excesses re-evaluate and realize normal people like Cornyn and Thune are fine … this will keep happening.

 

[Semi-elite R2R athlete]

“OMG, I didn’t vote for forever wars!”
“OMG, this war only lasted a bit over a month but it felt like it was forever!”
“OMG, I can’t believe it’s not butter, despite all of the very nice MAGA cultists telling me it wasn’t butter!”
/Panican

LMAO

 

[Semi-elite R2R athlete]

Mike - you are so close. Trump's genius is he appears unstable and unhinged. And your Democrats aid his negotiating efforts by yelling - "THAT IS A WAR CRIME" (even as Ukraine takes the identical action). The element of uncertainty is the secret sauce to his threats having merit. His M.O. hasn't changed in 35 plus years and it works. Next time you think he is bluffing, go in big on the market before the deadline. There is a reason Jeff is not posting today - yet another plus 1000 point gain on the DOW under Trump.

LMAO

 

[Semi-elite R2R athlete]

What a whiner. Mine costs roughly $145 atm. You were whining about Epstein when I was discussing the price of eggs. When Iran conflict is finished, gas prices will fall quickly.

LMAO

 

[Semi-elite R2R athlete]

You represent the far left! Again, what type of car do you drive? How do I decrease the temperature in Colorado by 2 degrees. Please enlighten.

MAGA is making your life infinitely better, yet you despise the very people who made it happen. Why don't you and your pining for a real man wife take another visit to downtown Denver?

On the big issues of the day, you Mr. Squishy, failed to take a positive stand. You bent over for Joe and submitted to tyranny (great for your kid's future) and in 2024 you voted "None of the Above". You have actually forfeited your right to ***** since you couldn't take a side. Stone and Jeff by voting for Kamala have every right to complain. Maybe someday you can be like them?

LMAO

Where are the QAnon 5D chess posts? Where are the US is going to be destroyed by Muslims posts? Where are the France 2.0 posts? Where are the “bent over for Joe” posts?

Instead it’s America will move forward, I will prosper, and a divided govt is best.

What a ******* coward.

And another example of this not being about Trump. The liberal MSM does a helluva job for the Dems. They did back in 2006, as well. The Republicans took a similar bath. Lots of phonies protesting. A rock band’s front man impaling the President’s face on his microphone stand, etc. Bush was a very poor communicator and many of his policies were quite good. As an example, poor people were running around shouting with joy about their Obama phones. What they didn’t know is that was a Republican bill. Trump policies overall very good. Terrible communicator. That is also part of Vance’s post above. And again…where are the Republicans on healthcare?
