Maybe if the so called Libertarians didn't waste their votes on a tiny, doomed to fail party, the republicans might have also taken the Senate.

@dillhole saidYou don’t know that they would choose the socially controlling Republicans over the Dems.

In [Ayn] Rand’s view, human beings have a fundamental moral right to pursue their own individual lives and happiness. For this reason, they do not have an obligation to serve some alleged higher goal or plan. To suggest that a woman has a “duty” to undergo childbirth amounts to treating her not as an individual human being with personal values, but as a “brood-mare,” and — especially when she is forced to undergo risky childbirth — as “a screaming huddle of infected flesh who must not be permitted to imagine that she has the right to live.”
Rand claims that a child cannot acquire rights until it is born, which means that the fetus has no rights, not even in very late stages of pregnancy.

@mghrn55 saidThe Republicans would be flat out stupid to run a candidate for a third time who lost the public vote twice already, the second time by nearly twice as many votes. Flat out stupid. I wouldn’t put it past them. 😆
The main reason they are going after Biden, thru Hunter, is that they want to whitewash the Trump impeachments, which were valid.
Wonder if the GOP thinks Trump can't beat Biden in 2024 ??
Further on this, does anyone with a head on their shoulders really think that even if they get the worst out of the Hunter debacle, that this will even come close to Jan 6th ??
Really ?? Really ?? 🤔

@dillhole saidLet's say for the sake of argument he did; which of these scenarios is most likely:
DeSantis will get the nomination.
1. Trump graciously accepts defeat and supports the GOP ticket with enthusiasm;
2. Trump insists he really won and refuses to accept the result;
3. Trump declares a third party run.

@moonbus saidRepublicans winning the House, even by the slender margin they appear to, might mean curtains to US aid to Ukraine:
4. Trump declares in advance that if he’s not nominated, the procedure is rigged.
"Under Republicans, not another penny will go to Ukraine," Greene said at a Trump rally in Iowa. "Our country comes first."
"Greene's statement comes after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) signaled last month that aid to Ukraine could be halted under Republican leadership.
"I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they’re not going to write a blank check to Ukraine. They just won’t do it," he said in an interview with Punchbowl News."
