Trump is the drag on the Republican Party's chances to win the Midterms
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/09/the-reality-for-republican-candidates.htmlIn short, they're very likely not going to get control of either house of Congress, and everything that's happened to cause it, including Dobbs, can be laid at Trump's feet.
It's become apparent, with all of Trump's screaming, raging, ranting and raving about the election that he clearly lost, and the blatant ignorance he has demonstrated in what he points to as evidence that he didn't, that he doesn't understand that getting elected is a matter of getting the most votes. He leans much more to the side of those who believe that manipulating the right people will get you what you want. Why not? That's worked for him in business all his life. And this isn't a sarcastic statement, either. It's a conclusion that can be made by listening to him, if you can keep from throwing up during his rants. He doesn't think ballots matter, what matters is having enough influence or putting enough pressure on the right people to change outcomes.
So his campaign rallies and speeches and the support and publicity he puts out tends to run to the extremes he supports, mainly those whose politics are the same as his. He's all about exchanging favors, a process he calls "making deals" to gain an advantage. He doesn't follow any pattern that is aimed at expanding his voter base. He only wants a cheering crowd in increasingly smaller venues, as a backdrop for his proclamations, which now feature background music that sounds eerily like Q-Anon themes, which he buys into like a kid with an unlimited allowance in a candy store.
The more he holds rallies and campaigns for those candidates he's endorsed, the more percentage points in the polls they lose, especially among independent voters. At the beginning of this election season, the Republicans held an advantage that, combined with the gerrymandering they've done, put them in a position to take control of Congress. The Democrats faced an uphill battle. But as Trump continues to insert himself into the campaigns, in places where his endorsees won nominations, though those who won did so by very slim margins among Republicans, the Democratic party advantage grows.

What they ACTUALLY DO or keep US from doing by their obstruction needs to be out there and talked about and prosecuted.
You were probably being sarcastic 
but WHATEVER WORKS.
... AkA the Tangerine Fuhrer.
Didn't declassify the documents.
Didn't win him the election.
Didn't keep him from filling his diaper.
AND it don't make him god either.
But thanks for playing.
See, there is no incriminating evidence now.
White leather with the sleeves that wrap around the back so he can hug himself all night long!!
And that nice room with the padded walls so he doesn't hurt himself when he throws a tantrum!!
Yeah, that is the kind of private room her really needs.
BTW early day tomorrow, but thanks for the laughs.
And hope and pray. The combination worked for the Georgia Senate elections last time.
