Then we'll take the Senate so that any shit coming out of the GOP House dies there.

Thanks for the fighting chance because of of so very many complete assholes running for GOP Senate seats

conix, Whatever the result it will be disappointing for conservatives. Thanks in grandiose part to the conman you voted twice for. And whatever the result it will have been heavily influenced by the misinformation, the disinformation and the lies American conservatives continue to feed to American voters. And by your side's Taliban-friendly approach to the rights of American women. See --

conix, If the Republicans lose ground in the midterms, against all historical norms, it will be because enough American voters
will have rejected the misinformation, the lies and the deceitful propaganda your conservative have spread in the past years.

Whatever the result. However you will spin it. The facts that your American conservatives have relied basically solely on a dishonestly created culture war will hurt you.

conix, Political correctness. "Woke". Critical Race Theory. Now Kendi. The latest conservative/GOP whipping post. Policy? C'mon.
We just attack. Kendi has always been with the others on the conservatives dart board. Just more in the background. Some others

The dishonesty now built into Trump's GOP and the terribly unsuitable senate candidates you have offered up. And the crass disrespect your deceit indicates you have for American voters. And your extremist attack on the personal rights of American women. Those and more will end with disappointment for American conservatism. That will be an irrefutable fact until the end of time. Midterm 2022 will always be remembered as a failure for Trump. For his GOP. And for you.

You won't ever respond to the carnage you've wrought... just keep repeating that you'll win. Putin won. So did Mussolini, and Saddam, and Orban. And you're on your way.

You'll win with lesser margins than the natural midterm numbers would suggest.

You'll win with fewer votes than the Democrats will get. Our government is rigged to give the Senate to white landowning populations.

Republican Senators Haven’t Represented a Majority of Voters Since 1996

As for the house? Don't make us spit out our coffee

In a democracy, voters choose their political leaders. In a democracy that permits gerrymandering – when state legislatures draw legislative district lines that maximize the dominant party’s chances of winning seats – elected leaders choose their voters.


https://theconversation.com/how-this-cycle-of-redistricting-is-making-gerrymandered-congressional-districts-even-safer-and-undermining-majority-rule-173103



This issue brief examines the only four states where, after the 2018 elections, the party that won a majority of state legislative seats received only a minority of the total statewide vote: North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Because of gerrymandering, these four states dramatically failed a basic test of democracy—votes did not translate into political power. To make matters worse, gerrymandering has since gone hand in hand with increased restrictions on voting in each of these states. In other words, legislative majorities that received a minority of the votes have used their unearned power to make it harder for citizens to cast a ballot, further distancing themselves from accountability at the ballot box.

You may win, but you won't represent a majority. But that's your point anyway, isn't it?
