Every time the Republican Party gains control of Congress they perform rather badly.  Individual Republicans are elected to office when they promise to support individual liberty, free market capitalism, and the Constitution.  Thanks to the Republican Party establishment they usually fail to deliver.  The Republican Party establishment wields way to much power over what takes place in Washington DC and it is exceedingly corrupt.  The Republican Party establishment is the reason why the Republican Party is the stupid party.  That cabal of elites cares nothing for Conservative principles. All they care about is power.  They are far more to the political left than those that vote for Republicans.

During President Trump’s first term the Republican Party establishment in both Houses repeatedly undermined President Trump, stabbing them in the back over and over again.

Conservatives on social began calling for the selection of a true Conservative as Senate Majority Leader immediately after it became clear that the Republicans would gain control.  As you can see from this article, After Trump Landslide, GOP Senate Votes For Business As Usual, they were ignored

Republicans elected a reincarnation of retiring GOP Senate chief Mitch McConnell to lead the upper chamber on Wednesday following former President Donald Trump’s overwhelming win last week.

Sen. John Thune of South Dakota was promoted from Republican Senate whip to majority leader on the second secret ballot with 29 votes in a contest against Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who received 24. The two lawmakers edged out a challenge from Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, who only captured three more votes for his candidacy for leader compared to his previous challenge to McConnell in 2022. Scott had run two years ago after McConnell funneled scarce campaign resources to win safe seats in the midterms while competitive candidates in key states were stripped of funding over their opposition to the incumbent Senate chief.

Senator Thune said the right things upon being selected: John Thune: Senate GOP ‘Excited’ to Put Trump’s Agenda into Action

Just got off the phone with [Donald Trump.] Senate Republicans are excited and ready to get to work implementing President Trump’s agenda on behalf of the American people,

We have a mandate from the American people, a mandate not only to clean up the mess left by the Biden-Harris-Schumer agenda but also to deliver on President Trump’s priorities,

We will make sure that the President and his team have the tools and support that they need to enforce border security laws and to remove the violent criminals who are wreaking havoc in every one of our states. We will work to make America prosperous again by streamlining the bureaucratic machine and overturning costly Biden-Harris regulations, and we will work to restore American energy dominance, not just our energy security, but energy dominance, which will lower costs and bolster our national security.

I do not believe Senator Thune will follow through on any of President Trump’s agenda.  The Senate will be the same circular firing squad.  I hope I am wrong.

My Guess is 220 to 221 in the House for the GOP

Posted: November 9, 2024 by datechguy in Uncategorized

I took the liberty of looking at the numbers of each the outstanding house seats. 7 in California, 1 in Arizona, 1 in Colorado and 1 in Alaska.

I do not claim intimate knowledge of any of these districts but based on the numbers I saw and the amount of vote left to count I’d say of those ten seats the GOP will win 4 for sure, 1 likely and one with a little luck. Even if disaster strikes I see them getting at least the two they need for control of the chamber.

What’s interesting is that 5 of those seats are currently held by the GOP and 5 by democrats but it looks like they will swap a few. Of those 10 still counting seats 7 were ranked toss ups, 1 safe dem, 1 likely dem and 1 leans dem. Yet the numbers don’t seem to reflect this.

It’s very likely that local issues are the overriding factor in many of these races and as I said I’m not competent enough to in terms of knowledge of these seats to know for sure, but given what I see and the numbers left to go, that’s my prediction and I’m sticking with it.

I’m guessing we’ll know for sure by the end of the day tomorrow.

Today I feel a profound sense on elation.  It began around 10pm election night when Pennsylvania and Wisconsin began to turn in favor of President Trump.  The elation blossomed into full euphoria when I checked the election results after I woke up and saw that the Democrats did not pull off another 4am steal of the presidency.

If the Democrats had stolen the election I would have felt a profound sense of loss,  I would have been in a deep state of mourning because it would have meant the end of the United States as Constitutional Republic.  The fundamental transformation of this nation into a third world Socialist Democracy would have been complete.

There is no way Kamala Harris could have pulled off a legitimate victory.  I was not worried about that at all.  She is the worst candidate to ever run for president, even worse than Biden.

We all should take a few days to celebrate President Trump’s victory against overwhelming odds.  A few days is all we can spare because there is so much hard work to be done.  We have to fix every single circumstance that led to Joe Biden’s installation in the White House.

The legacy media suffered a tremendous loss of face with the victory of President Trump.  A significant percentage of the population proved to be immune to their constant propagandizing.  Much more needs to be done to inoculate the population against the excrement they shovel.

The unholy alliance between teacher’s unions and the Democrat Party needs to be addressed, along with the left’s stranglehold on higher education.

Election laws in all of the States need to be tightened, especially in the battleground States..

We also have to repair all of the damage done by the Biden Regime.

There is so much more to be done and so little time to do it.

Arthur Dent: If I asked you where the hell we were, would I regret it?
Ford Prefect: We’re safe.
Arthur Dent: Oh good.
Ford Prefect: We’re in a small galley cabin in one of the spaceships of the Vogon Constructor Fleet.
Arthur Dent: Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word “safe” that I wasn’t previously aware of.

Douglas Adams The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 1979

Over the last decade we’ve seen a lot of words redefined by the left: “Marriage”, “Man”, “Woman”, “Insurrection”, and lately even “Democracy” which apparently means replacing the elected candidate for President without a vote and leaving government in charge of at best unelected bureaucrats, or at worst God knows who.

For example when Donald Trump offered Nancy Pelosi National Guard Troops for January 6th 2021 she turned him down because they left with the help of the deep state WANTED to create a narrative of violence by the right when months earlier as cities in the US were burning these events were called “Fiery but mostly peaceful”

But in the end no matter how many constructs you tend to create for fun and profit Reality tends to get the upper hand. Four years ago leftist taking over parts of cities and rioting was called the “summer of love” by the press, but apparently the love is gone:

Governors of Oregon and Washington are readying the National Guard for election week. To keep citizens safe from Donald Trump supporters? No. To keep people safe from the leftist Antifastanis and rabble who have rioted or beaten up Americans on the street corners of Portland and Seattle since before the 2016 election. 

Remember both of these states are bastions of leftist power. The odds of Donald Trump winning either are as the old saying goes, Slim and none, and Slim left town yesterday after this:

In fairness as Victoria Taft at PJ media notes this is consistent with the last election

But as she notes things are a tad different as well:

But all of a sudden, they, like the Mayor of Washington, D.C., have called out the National Guard in 2024 because things may not go Antifa’s way on Election Day. And when Antifa, anarchists, and Democrats are unhappy, then nobody’s safe. 

Or to put it another way, no business ever boarded up because they knew the Tea Party was going to rally in their town.

But it’s not the Tea Party coming so Washington and Oregon and DC all have the National Guard on alert.

Democrats can hope that all this takes place late in the evening, as they don’t want to drive Trump turnout even further.
