My theory: if we’d had honest elections without ballot harvesting and ballot stuffing from 2016 onward, republicans would have had 65+ Senate seats prior to 2026, would have been more productive, and would have suffered a much more moderate loss this year. But we’re told we have to okay with. 5% handicap from now on. Ok….good luck with that GOP!
Stefanik is right about the fiefdoms. Now name the one everybody tiptoes around. In September, the Conservative Party’s state committee unanimously handed Jerry Kassar a fifth term. So what good is new Republican leadership if candidates still have to make the same rounds with the same clubhouse hacks to get a second ballot line? Conservative voters matter. Their votes belong to them, and they deserve to know who decides which candidates get the party’s backing and what those candidates did to earn it. If we’re serious about rebuilding the right in New York, clean house on both sides. Jerry Kassar must go.
"Republicans will need to come to terms that Trump will not be on the ballot." The implication in this sentence is that, had Trump been on the mid-term ballot, the results would have been different. I disagree. Trump's dumb-ass war--and thus Trump--are the reason most of the republicans were voted out. Am I missing something here?
Every Democrat candidate for potus stressed keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of bad actors. Carter had it as the #1 concern. Trump acts and gets slammed. Dems indulge in idle talk. Shame on oil companies for higher prices. Now we have useless Dems running Congress.
I agree that the Iranian regime is a bunch of bad actors, and that it's dangerous for them to have nukes. But Trump said "no new wars" and that he's the "peacetime president". He then gets elected, does his master's bidding/attacks Iran, and flips the middle finger to those who put him in office. I voted for him (I'm an independent). The blue wave makes me sick, but I think it's a lesson that needed to be taught to Trump and all conservative politicians.

Who wants to rebuilt the GOP? Not me.
