I'll be curious to see if Trump's recent levying of additional tariffs on Canada just because he was butthurt about a commercial that quoted Ronald Reagan lambasting tariffs makes its way into these arguments today.

Never could there possibly be a more clear indication of the arbitrary and capricious thoughtlessness behind Trump tariff implementation than that PR and legal disaster.

See my last post!!

There is zero evidence that being pro-Trump helps down-ballot candidates and a mountain of evidence that it hurts them instead.

And this is across a several-election sample size at this point.

---

Last year didn't happen, did it? Or, are you saying that Trump stole that election, along with congress?

If you think people should lie down and accept the Dems push to Marxist Communism, then, you can watch this country lose all of its founding principles. I choose to elect people that will fight for some similar representation of what we are supposed to be.

In the meantime, Hokie, sit out there and hold some type of moral position and watch our country go straight to Hell!! Stand for something! People like Mamdahni stand for something!! And, he just won our greatest city and the financial institution of the world.

Mark page 611.
Respectfully, When the Republican party returns back to conservative principles and ethical government, which is what I stand for, rather than illiberal principles, I'm happy to come back. Until then, they can all throw rocks at each other and pretend that every election means life of death of the United States and continue to compare notes on who is the more aggrieved party

You don't see the coincidence in the fact that the races fell right at Trumps current approval numbers? How about the severe uptick in young voters swinging back to democrats?

Trump is great for Trump, he has been a drag on every other election since 2016. It also doesn't help that Republicans continue to roll out candidates that have no shot. For instance, Senate in NC.

I have another theory. The GOP Congress did this to themselves in 2016-2018. Ran on Obamacare repeal in 16, failed to deliver and were ousted in 18. This time, the GOP failed to stop or reverse spending. GOP leaning voters took note that our careen to financial suicide continues and they responded with their vote, or no vote.

I have two even simpler explanations

1. To use the ever old phrase, "its the economy, stupid". Everything is still expensive and I dont see an off ramp in sight
2. The Pub ground game outside of a Presidential election year is dreadful and has been for quite a long time

Years ago I labeled the a$$ clowns in this site that supported Hilldog marxists and Pinocchio and his band of left wing non-employed contingent made a mockery of it.

Here's your crow. Enjoy.

And along with being correct on labeling them that the comments I've made about Pinocchio have yet to have been false, disputed or proven to be untrue.

Own it lefties. Your party is going to wear this one next year and in 2028 when you run Newscum/AOC.

Civ and Pinocchio are slobbering each other dreaming of that one.

Regarding inflation and prices, the problem was running on a promise that was undeliverable.

Inflation had already fallen to sub-3% by the time Biden left office. Wasn't perfect and had a little further to go, but there was only so much downward movement to be had there. Would have been interesting to see how much further it would have declined, but for tariff increases.

But then regarding prices, obviously horrible strategy to run on reducing prices (not inflation, but actual prices) which was likely never going to happen in the best of circumstances (nor would any of us likely want them to; deflation ain't good) and then tariffing the entire world except Russia.

If you tell your constituents you're going to deliver lower prices there is a near-certainty you're going to be wrong, and that probability increases to 100% if you enter office and then immediately tariff up everything.

If you were doing exit polling I bet the sustainability of entitlements or the US's debt situation would make the top-5 concerns for 10% or less of voters.

And that Venn diagram doesn't overlap one iota with the subset of voters that are truly concerned about and impacted by grocery prices, immigration raids, or the shutdown.

Voters right now are responding mostly to ICE tactics, tariff price increases, DOGE/job loss, healthcare, and the shutdown.

I don't have an overly pessimistic view about this; I do think the pendulum swings back some when Trump is gone.

Tone starts from the top and he and his sons are just classless, crass, trashy dudes and expect and want that from those around them so you see their behavior mirrored in Vance (explicitly) and Johnson (passively) and others.

I don't think other Republican party leaders will get away with that type of conduct (or even attempt to) and Dem party leaders self-flagellate and purity test each other too much for poor conduct to go broadly unaddressed, unapologized for, or excused.

Like Hunter, in what way?

Trump Jr. appears to be coked up in about half of his interviews so you're definitely not talking about drug use.

Hunter is a total mess personally but WRT how he comports himself in public and the way he treats others, what has he ever done that was as unprofessional or unkind or inappropriate as making fun of someone for almost being murdered?

First and Foremost, he's a Communist. That enough!!

My real issue is that just 24 years ago, Islamist flew planes into the WTC. Now, the 40% of non-US born citizens voted for him. That shows you how bad this country has fallen! Immigration is a shame! Furthermore, immigrants, of the past, came here knowing the what the US stands for. Our education system has created this anti-American sentimate we have! Mamdani is the epitome of Anti-American!!

Eyeroll.

What do the 9/11 attacks have to do with Mamdani? Zero.

Nobody who studies communism would ever say that he's communist so no, that's not even close to correct either.

He basically ran on putting people first, cheaper housing, and not being a sex assaulter or Granny-killer like Cuomo.

The people of NY didn't exactly have a lot to choose from. He's articulate, seems kind and people-first, and isn't a criminal (Cuomo) or bought (Eric Adams) so he obviously stood out.

A really nice, well-spoken, and put together candidate, that's also Muslim and that has really progressive stances (that would almost certainly not work on a national platform; he's left of Bernie and AOC) winning an election in the one of the most diverse, expensive cities on the East Coast isn't exactly a sign of the apocalypse.

I'm not the one complaining about him Cary. That's you. Why don't you explain what you think about his platform is so dangerous?

New Yorkers chose him, not me. I wouldn't vote for him if there was an electible, sensible, humanist, moderate or centrist alternative but New Yorkers didn't have that opportunity.

I wouldn't want city-owned stores, with the government competing with private industry, and no-cost childcare is a lot like free education for all, it's pie in the sky and completely unclear how you'd pay for it.

But go look at his platform and his personality and it's completely obvious why he'd appeal to New Yorkers.

Fighting housing costs
Tenant-friendly housing policies
Making communities safer
Stronger funding, education, and mental health care in schools
Taxing gajillion-aires
Health care advocacy

And on and on. These aren't bat-**** crazy ideas. It may be unclear how some of them will be funded, but these ideas aren't the ruminations of an evil terrorist-in-sheep's-clothing communist boogeyman.
