The Coming Senate Landslide

The GOP’s Coming U.S. Senate Landslide​

July 19, 2022

If the 2022 Senate elections are analyzed and run as big, nationalized races, the Democrats will likely lose the Senate by a wide margin.​

by Newt Gingrich

There is consensus that U.S. House Republicans will win a majority this fall, and Kevin McCarthy will be the next Speaker of the House.

There is a lot more confusion about the U.S. Senate races. Republicans are handwringing and Democrats are hopeful as they think through the state-by-state races for U.S. Senate.

But there’s a flaw in the popular Senate race analysis. Most people are thinking about Senate races as small, individual contests. When you think of each race as small and individual, there is hope the Democrats could keep the current 50-50 split – or lose only a few seats. This kind of small race analysis emphasizes candidate quality, money raised, and current polling (that is inconclusive at best).

If the 2022 Senate elections are analyzed and run as a big, nationalized races, the Democrats will likely lose the Senate by a wide margin.

When you have 9.1 percent inflation (compared to 1.4 percent inflation when Donald Trump left office), Democrat candidates at any level should feel like they are in trouble. The highest price of gasoline in history (more than double the price two years ago) does not help them.

Gingrich cheated on his wife while she was dying of cancer and is a large part responsible for the current division of the Country.

We know why someone like you respects him.

There won't be a Senate landslide. At best Republicans will have a slim majority.

 

[Rotadom]

Don't forget the slave owners and rapists.

 

[ll74]

Probably also makes people who don't like adulterers trust him less.

 

[ll74]

I think newt’s trust score is pretty much static by now.

Yes, which is why the people who quote him are fun to mock

 

[Chernosoth]

I have sometimes wondered why does he use Newt instead of Newton. Newts are slimy, which he is, but that is generally not considered an attractive quality.

The really funny thing is, if the Republicans lose ground in the Senate this fall (not saying it's surely going to happen, but it could), it'll be entirely because they nominated singularly terrible candidates in states where they would otherwise probably win (Pennsylvania most of all, but also Ohio, Missouri, North Carolina, etc.).

And they’ll be quick to blame Democrats for their insincere support of the wackiest GOP candidates.

… unless it backfires.

That would/will be hilarious.

“Democratic strategist and CNN contributor David Axelrod expressed his concern at the Democratic party's strategy to fund Trump-backed candidates in Republican primaries under the belief that the party's candidate will beat them in the general election.”

The level of Democrat intelligence becomes apparent as we view the rotten fruits of their labor being dumped upon the American people.

What fruits? The Republicans in the Senate have been blocking and obstructing everything they possibly could.

 

[HisArpy]

What fruits? The Republicans in the Senate have been blocking and obstructing everything they possibly could.

You do realize that the Democrats have majority control of the Senate, yes? And you know that the Democrats could pass just about any piece of legislation they want to on party lines, yes?

So, if the legislation isn't being passed, then there has to be more "nay" votes than "aye" votes. Realizing that if all the R's vote "nay" the bill will still pass, those extra "nays" which prevent the bill from passing must come from...

wait for it...


DEMOCRATS.


So tell us, you supergenius you, how that means that it's the R's who are "blocking and obstructing" those bills?

I'm talking abo9ut what they couldn't.

Not without a filibuster-proof majority they couldn't, and you know it.

Wrong. That would be true in the House, where the Dems have in fact passed plenty of legislation; but not in the Senate.

If you really and truly haven't heard of the filibuster, google it. I don't think I can help you beyond that.

Which you haven't bothered to identify in any way.

What about the fact that the Senate just passed that red flag gun control act? Didn't a lot of R's sign on to it? Where'd the filibuster suddenly go?

See, what you're really doing is whining that your team can't automatically get your ideological social changes passed.

The fact that they aren't getting by the Senate, even though there's a D majority and the R's do vote for other D sponsored Bills, SHOULD BE TELLING YOU SOMETHING. Unfortunately you, like all the other head up your asses progressives, can't figure that out.

It's not the rules or the process that's the problem. It's the crap Bills being sponsored by the D's which are the problem. They're so bad even D congressmen vote no on them.

This is not an R problem. That you cannot see it, only shows that you have no fucking clue what the real problem is... which, BTW, is you.

You would be the only person who couldn't identify the Biden spending Republicans couldn't stop. Like the 6.6 trillion her spent in 2020, the 6.8 trillion he spent in 2021, while bringing in only $4.05 trillion, resulting in a deficit of $2.77 trillion. All of which fueled the present inflation.

[ll74]

There are "Biden spending Republicans" now?. Lol...of course

 

[YDB95]

And they supported Biden's spending in 2020 - before he was elected president! Wow!

One exception does not prove anything, Rapey.

 

[QueequegsHead]

Sorry RG, but off-year elections are about local issues.

 

[QueequegsHead]

The spending problem is shared by both partiers equally.

Getting elected is one thing, but if you don't bring home the bacon, reelection becomes problematic.

 

[HisArpy]

Truth.

Yet there's been more than just one bill passed. In 2021 Congress passed 85 bills ranging from covid relief to infrastructure. That's an average of 2 bills per week that were PASSED by the supposedly Republican bottlenecked Senate which, according to you "can't pass anything", and became law.

Lots of interesting stuff about the Bills in the linky too.

Why are republicans such assholes?

Why is there so much rancor in politics?

From Newt Gingrich in 1978 in a speech to Republican college students:

• I think that one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, and loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around the camp fire, but are lousy in politics.

(This is one of the major reasons why the nation is in such great turmoil.)

He is responding to the fact that Democrats play dirty. Anything to win, whereas Republicans are to nice.

Your ignorance is showing.
