Celebrating a brain dead deadbeat of a failed city mayor being elected to the Senate over a second generation Immigrant Thoracic Surgeon.
The. First time Fetterman votes the wrong way on a bill because he can’t understand what it says will be hilarious.
Congrats to the country, I guess.

Lol this didn’t age well.

Seemingly so.
No matter what happens the rest of the way, there will be gridlock in DC (thankfully) and lots of soul searching.
Hopefully 2024 will be managed better after considerations.

Yep...gridlock is perfect for the next two years. It would have been great for the republicans to take both chambers, but honestly, I think this is better in the long run. Trump won't look electable, and Desantis or another sane Republican will be the candidate and win in '24. Trump is the only one that could possibly lose to Biden. It's extremely clear to anyone paying any attention that moderates will hold their nose and vote for a far left candidate over a Trumper. Pubs need to move away from him.

Yeah, getting control of the House is all that is necessary. If the Senate remains 50-50, no big deal because Manchin is pissed. Besides, for all of us conservatives wanting Trump to go away, this Senate situation will certainly help in that regard. He is officially unable to expand his base and you can be sure he'll do more damage to himself by 2024. If his ego allows him to announce he's running in '24, it will be interesting to see polling on his chances. I feel really confident that DeSantis could dust him in the Primaries....... I hope Trump continues to attack him.

You know what would rule?

The Republican controlled House indicts Trump and he's barred from running again, even as an independent. Problem solved.
I was, and am, all in on his policies, but he needs to leave the stage. He won't unless he's forced.
Meanwhile, *some* on this board will spend the entire day going through this thread looking for "gotcha" posts from me about Trump. I don't care.
Knock yourselves out.

Absolutely NO chance he'll vote the wrong way. Leadership will tell him its not neccesary to read anything.He will be the ultimate rubber stamp, unless Biden decides to pivot some. (I intentionally posted this for humor purposes).

Got a late start this morning so I'm just getting up to speed...it looks like we still have a democracy (err constitutional republic). Whew! I was worried about that.

Do you think last night's underwhelming performance by the GOP emboldens Biden to run again in 2024?

I don't know who else the Dems have that could actually win a general election. As Republicans need to look in the mirror today regarding Trump, Dems need to do that as well with their leadership. Moderates/Independents still decide elections and I don't see anyone on the Dem side in leadership that fits the profile and is electable for the presidency right now.

Maybe Sherrod Brown?

Personally I would like to see Pete Buttigieg as I think he is a generational mind, but as far as the country has moved recently on the issue, I do not think it has moved far enough to elect an openly gay President yet.

Surely you jest.
