Predictions for the 2026 Midterms

[ModernDiogenes]

ROFL

You're thinking of Clinton.



Guilty of what? Being an enemy of your fascist party?

Now that the Merchan lynching has collapsed, will you of the party stop claiming Trump is a "felon?"

Of course not - guilty until found democrat.



Nor would you.

When you were allegedly a cop, did you use accusations and party affiliation as the sole basis for arrests?



I get it, MSNBC told you to hate him, and you do. Even when proven that what you claim is flat out false, you persist. Because emotion has overridden any reason you may possess.

Hatred and rage overrule logic and facts for you of the left.



This is a message board - you are what you post.

When you post 100% fringe left, claiming you are a "republican" carries no weight.



Sure - based purely on hearsay without any need for evidence - provided the accused was and enemy of the party.



ROFL

Your hatinging points are years out of date.

We were a better country when we had the rule of law and rights for the accused.

Thank you. I rest my case. I am still a registered Republican, BTW.

If true, why?

The politics you express are consistent with AOC.

And you ducked the question, since the appeals court has indefinitely suspended the appeal by the Merchan court - effectively vacating the bogus conviction - will you of the fringe left stop claiming Trump is a felon?

Of course not - it was political from start to finish, there was never anything even remotely legitimate about it.

And why is that? The case was not suspemded on the lack of any meriit in the finding of guilty. Nor was it suspended for undue process. It was suspended on a technicality because SOUTUS had just made Trump the teflone President. So it was suspemded until Triump is no lomger President. He many still get sentenced when his term is done, though I doubt it.

Feh.

 

[Uncensored2008]

That is exactly why it was suspended. There is no likelihood the Merchan court would prevail.

Nor was it suspended for undue process.

Ah, so you are familiar and know that the case was overturned for lack of due process, and Merchan appealed the ruling. The Merchan appeal is officially suspended, meaning the case is dead and the lynching is void.

It was suspended on a technicality because SOUTUS had just made Trump the teflone President.

ROFL

That Constitution gives you leftists no end of heartburn - which is why you fight so viciously to put an end to it.

So, should King Obama have been prosecuted for ordering the murder of an American citizen, a 14 year old boy with no criminal ties or suspected criminal activity?

I know, that was (D)ifferent.

So it was suspemded until Triump is no lomger President.

Nope - indefinitely. Your side is done.

But the question is, will you and the DNC propaganda corps continue to lie that Trump is a "convicted felon?"

Of course you will - because due process and the rule of law are not honored by you of the left.

He many still get sentenced when his term is done, though I doubt it.

How? The case was thrown out. Are you thinking you democrats will gain power, pack the court, and override the Constitution?

Feh.

You want to GET the enemy of your party. democrats have tried to assassinate Trump 7 times, shot him in Butler. Engaged in 49 separate lawfare plots against him.

You've learned well from Pol Pot and Joe Stalin - you will do ANYTHING to neutralize a threat to absolute power by your party. Kill, imprison, and defame - the goals of the left vis a vis Trump.

 

[ModernDiogenes]

Oh ill informed one, the case was not thrown out, the conviction stand. TRUMP is a CONVICTED FELON. He simply isn’t in prison.

Google:

”No, Donald Trump's 34-count felony criminal conviction in New York has not been thrown out.

Current Status of the Criminal Case

• • 
    
  • The Conviction Stands: A Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in May 2024. That conviction remains active on his record.
  • Sentencing: Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to an "unconditional discharge", meaning he is a convicted felon but faces no prison time, probation, or monetary fines.
  • Ongoing Appeals: Trump's legal team is actively appealing the criminal conviction, but the appellate courts have not dismissed or overturned the verdict.

On the whole, I expect it to be close with razor thin margins. The red / blue waves of the past are a bygone thing now. What will really sink the Democrats is their candidates hailing from the radical Left. That sort can succeed locally, but in wider elections almost always fails to grain traction. Thus, in a run for Senate, they don't stand much of a chance of winning even in a blue state.

I’m concerned about it to but how it will occur is the Karl River dirty trick book oh October surprises. This one can be seen coming from a mile away though. In elections like Talarico and Cruz they will roll out in the second week of October massive mailings, reverse polling and local ad spots lambasting Talarico with claims that he is DSA associated, or adjacent. He isn’t, but they’ll attempt to paper him with it. It will be done against other other non-DSA Democratic candidates as well if they haven’t taken steps to separate themselves from DSA proselytizing of Romer (the DSA Chair) and others being loud and proud about their Marxist leanings).

Here's the situation the Democrats and Left face:

They have already maxed out the number of seats and electoral college votes they can get, more or less. They aren't making inroads into red states with much success.

They are losing population, just as Leftist / Socialist governments do where people can vote with their feet. If they don't control the White House they can't import more warm bodies to keep up the population count. That means they are destined to lose seats in Congress.

They can't cheat their way to a victory in red states.

The overall trend is they will slowly lose seats in Congress, have increasing difficulty getting into the White House, and that means they have to come up with some new strategy that involves being able to turn red states blue, and deep blue.

This is why I say there will be little movement in the seats in Congress come the midterms. The DSA being on front street won't help the Democrats in the least.

Pubs talking about cheating is sort of rich. (Literally and figuratively).

Not if folks like myself who favor elimination of the Electoral College have their day. The popular vote ought to select our leaders.

As a “Never Trump’er” that is my concern.

(And my question to those calling themselves conservatives (you aren’t, I am) is not about why I’m a “Never Trump’er” but if you actually hold true conservative values, including on ethics and character, why aren’t you a “Never Trump’er” too?)

Both parties have some cheats, but the Democrats historically are the major cheaters.

Very, very bad idea.

Because Trump is a temporary thing, mostly due to the Democrats going further and further Left. Imagine in the next election cycle you have the likes of Gavin Newsom, AOC, and say Beito O'Rourke as the leaders for their party's presidential pick versus say Rubio or Vance. Most people in the US, outside the deep blue pockets on the coast, are going to run from the Democrat pick. It won't be so much about who people want to vote for as much as it will be about who people will not vote for. The Left and radical Left appeals to maybe 25% of the population, 30% at most, and that will lose them the election.

 

[martin]

From the above you might regard it as meaningless things that Democrats won most every contested race the past year or that Republicans are getting swamped in the polls or that Trump is freaking out over the approaching midterms.

Wishful thinking. Primaries tend to moderate races. The Democratic candidate is likely be in the mold of Ossoff or Shapiro.

The dummycrat candidate will be in the mold of dummycrat socialist like AOC or a
word salad karmola.

True, the "dummycrat" candidate will be exactly that.

What's this I see, a far leftist agreeing with me that the dem candidate for the 2028 potus
will indeed be an anti Capitalist-anti American socialist. Will wonders never cease.

You can barely see in front of your face.

There are other popular Democrats along with Ossoff and Shapiro who have a chance. Andy Beshear, who keeps proving a Democrat can win even in red Kentucky, is one.

Truly? Richard Nixon; Watergate. Ronald Reagan; arms for hostages. Gingrich; who had three affairs while championing "family values".

Now Trump, easily the most corrupt POTUS of all time. Don't get me started, the public record is quite clear on the BILLONS he has made from behind the Resolute Desk. I find it amazing that any MAGA supporter can speak publicly to the corruption of others while supporting those goings on. The hypocrisy involved is stupifying.

They did. I don't see that happening as much today with the Democrat(ic) party.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Truly? Richard Nixon; Watergate.

Watergate was spying on the opposition, not a voting thing.

Ronald Reagan; arms for hostages.

That was international politics with a Congress cheering for a Communist takeover of Nicaragua.

Gingrich; who had three affairs while championing "family values".

What does that have to do with political campaigns?

Trump isn't even close.

 

[ModernDiogenes]

Trump isn't even close.

We have any other President who has puchased stocks from the Oval Office short times before he was going to make policy that was going to impact the worth of those stocks? Another President who made real estate and crypto deals worth billion with Arab Potentates and Chinese nationals? How about one who sold pardon for millions of dollars?

Please, you seem like a smart person. This is all a matter of public record. Trump isn't even trying to hide it. It is his last chance at the big payday and he is done. He can't run again and he knows it. He is feathering his nest to the hilt and even made his little "Global Peace Initiative" thingee so he still has a place on the world stage after he is out of the White House.

I was a police detective for far too long not to know a full fledged confidence man when I see one. He stinks of the grift. He whole adult life history is pungent with it.

If you can't see that for what it is when it is right there in front of your face, with the thousands of victims, the civil court findings, the millions stolen BEFORE he got to the White House. The BILLIONS after. I just don't know what to say to you, its so darn obvious for precisely what it is.
