"Tucker Carlson Sounds the Alarm About Republicans Blowing the Midterms"
« on: August 20, 2022, 10:33:28 PM »
Tucker thinks the Republican Party is going to screw up their chances in the next election.

The Democrats appear to be doing better in polling.

  What do you think?

I thought there was no way in hell Biden could win* and here we are.  At this point I don't even know.  The Republicans suck,  it's conceivable they'll find a way to fvck a sure thing up.

I believe the Republican leadership is quite happy with how things currently stand.  Because of this, they will not expend any great energy getting Republicans elected in the mid-terms.  The Red Tsunami we're all being told will occur in November will likely turn out to be a red wavelet.  We lose ground in the Senate by a seat or three, and maybe, if we are very lucky, take the House by a slim margin.  And nothing will change.

I think the Republicans are in trouble.

I think Trump backing candidates, and those candidates winning in more moderate to Democratic-leaning states, is going to backfire spectacularly as it is going to push people to the Democratic candidate.

Mitch McConnell has already said he doesn't expect Republicans to take the Senate.

If we can't get hardcore MAGA types into office then what difference does it make?

More McConnel's, Grahams, McCarthy's et al is worse than worthless.

We are only given a spectrum of what is acceptable to the establishment to vote for every election. At least the MAGA folks are pushing the boundary, opening the Overton window in our direction.

Right now we have a crappy ground and pound offense that rarely makes first downs. Trump and maybe Desantis at least try and throw the ball and get some first downs. Still a crappy team with them at the helm but it's what we got.

He's working to make sure of that - better D's maintain control than getting a bunch of MAGA types who might upset the apple cart.

I as thinking a bunch of Republicans retired before this election.  That leaves it wide open and many of those are not all in red states.  It isn't a slam dunk and many Republicans (RNC?) are probably complacent that a win will be easy.  It is never easy.

Republicans EARN their nickname "The Stupid PartyTM" with disturbing regularity, and have mastered the art of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It's obvious that there's a contingent within the GOP that absolutely DOES NOT WANT Republicans to be the majority party.

I think we have seen plenty of times that the Dems compete for that name pretty hard.  The only reason they come out looking better often is due to the media and other support the R's don't have.  In this case, I hope the R's don't come out looking very stupid.

Seeing how some of the current establishment Rs are acting, it almost harkens back to the days of the "Country Club Republicans".

Apparently Dems are calling them "The Mar-a-Lago Midterms". Probably not the best PR to sorta suggest that the raid is great for dems, considering I'm hearing more people, including people who don't like Trump, as well as a lib friend I recently talked to (whose opinion really surprised me), not really happy about what the gov did.

The Republicans have been trying to subvert, absorb and derail MAGA since day one.

MAGA is now filling(ed) up with establishment operatives. 

It's a Hollywood reboot of the Destruction of the Tea Party movie.

GAE is firmly in control. You will take your shots, eat the bugs, own nothing and be happy while you are replaced with third world shithole peoples.

GAE has a plan, those that oppose them don't, they are reactionary. Prevent defense is useless with an anemic offense using an out of date playbook.

Some people are waking up, close to a century too late.
