Republicans taking a beating tonight in big races. Might be a sign of things to come.

I warned people for months. The naysayers are all good people but in an echo chamber. The pendulum swung back a few months ago.

Trump is losing on jobs, economy, shut down, overreach, and probably others i can't think of. The gop needs to address the first two for sure, or mud terms will get ugly.

Dem female wins in governor in NJ. JD Vance brother loses Cincinnati Mayor race despite gang violence running wild. There will be a socialist cruising to victory in NYC.

Gop better get off their a$$ or midterms will be a bloodbath.
Cincinnati hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1971, the shutdown probably affected VA more than any other State as well as eliminating Govt jobs affecting its economy.
NYC is going to elect a Dem or Dem Socialist, it’s gone for Republicans for the foreseeable future.

There’s going to be a ton of hyperventilating by the media, about it being a rebuke on Trump, and who can blame them, but these States are blue, and have been.

Possibly but I don't think anyone really expected any of the Republicans to win these anyway. The Virginia governor/AG race are the 2 that don't make sense to me though. I never thought the Republican in NJ governor race or the NY mayor race would win.

But Virgina...what the heck is wrong with you?
Many, many people who do or have worked in federal government who are angrier about Trump cutting government waste than about crippling debt.

Or, they don't care about elections, just Trump. I mean politics is life for Libs, not us. See the crazy No Kings thing. Why would anyone with a life do that sheet?

If you live in nyc, this vote was your life. Same with Governor races. Same with cinci mayor.

For 364 days a year, do whatever. On election day, everyone better get out and vote against Dems.

Gop is just failing because there is no organization. Leadership has long been pathetic.

Demographics matter. They determine nearly everything.

GOP will get smoked. GOP Congress is absolutely worthless.

These are deep blue states so means nothing

If these were run of mill dems, i would agree. These are some of the most radical candidates ever, let alone this cycle.

The gop just fails at messaging. They are in the right but never get their message out. As a result, the good people sit home while the zealots vote religiously.

Beyond the devastation to life, this is going to financially destroy either ups or the plane manufacturer. This fire is still spreading to surrounding structures that house very important equipment. It might yet destroy the airport itself. Insurance losses in insane amounts.

On top of that, the fumes from the 280,000 gallons of fuel will generate thousands of personal injury suits.

If its bad enough, the epa will designate it a superfund site. That means they have to pay for all the massive cleanup PLUS air traffic will be effected for a good while.

If this NTSB investigation pins it on UPS, they might literally go belly up. It could be financially devastating to Kentucky and especially Louisville.
280K lbs. of fuel, not gallons. An MD-11 carries around 38,615 gallons. The airport itself isn’t damaged, the industrial area just south of the runway is destroyed.

UPS is not going belly up. Good grief.

The shutdown is hurting Republicans much more than Dems. And they know it. Doesn’t matter who’s at fault(Dems) but a lot of folks see Republicans in charge and that’s who they blame. Just my observation
People vote with their wallets too. They don’t give a F about Israel or Ukraine or whatever global BS you’re doing or your ballroom. People are getting bled dry here in this country and GOP hasn’t done anything to alleviate that.

Think of how many single issue bills GOP could’ve forced through relentlessly if they actually gave a damn. They don’t. Controlled opposition who would rather put on a show and fundraise when Dems are in office so they can claim they’d do better. It’s all a joke.

Voters have handed the GOP everything despite the establishment not deserving it and they have proceeded to piss it away. Incompetent and corrupt goons. So easy to hate these people.

So GOP will likely lose everything at midterms, best case scenario is split and then Trump will just do EOs and tell you how awesome everything is.

If you are charged with anything by the AG in VA, why would you NOT claim to be a Republican and claim that the AG is biased against you? This has the potential to be a giant can of worms for the state.
Liberals will then just take mob justice to take you down...these ppl are completely fine either violence and lawlessness as long as they're the ones doing it

Yep. By now we should have seen cutting of welfare funding to force re-migration, and radical changes to immigration policy.

GOP Congress does nothing, it appears. Only Trump will fight via EO, but that’s not sustainable.
