History repeats it’s self…..
As the world reacts to the midterm results, 2008 is already on the horizon.
The results are making waves around the world, with Democratic gains being interpreted as a rejection of the Iraq War and a major blow to President Bush.
One Tokyo businessman has already described the president as a "lame duck" with two years left in office. Meanwhile jockeying for the 2008 presidential race is already taking shape.
John McCain, widely regarded as the Republican frontrunner, has visited 21 states in the past month. Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani have also been courting Iowa voters.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's re-election victory and Barack Obama's growing national profile are fuelling Democratic speculation about a potential nomination battle.

Spartans are playing a spirited defensive game. Wolverines look as lost as ever. Whittingham should put Underwood back in at QB for that elusive "spark." UM OC Jason Beck is getting embarrassed by MSU's decimated defense. Spartans lead at half 6-0. Peacock's ratings soaring.

Another banger, I’m afraid.
In October 2024, following hurricanes Helene and Milton, an agenda-driven reporter asked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, “When will the words ‘climate change’ come out of your mouth?”
DeSantis responded confidently, saying, “The chance of me virtue signaling for people in the media is ZERO. So, do not count on that; I don’t subscribe to your religion. It’s just a tired refrain and song and dance… This whole idea of climate ideology driving policy just factually can’t work.”
What a smackdown! 💥

This was the most unprofessional victory speech I've ever heard. He snaps on reporters. He is so angry all the time.

Looks like a Black Democrat will defeat Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in MISSISSIPPI!
The Senate will now be 56-44 Democrat.
Republicans now need to take NV, AZ, OH, GA, PA and NH in 2028 to get back a 50-50 Senate, plus replacing Lisa Murkowski in Alaska.
Which Presidential candidate can put together the message to deliver six new Senators, plus the White House? Who do you think can?

Obama (2010): Democrats lost 63 House seats.
Clinton (1994): Democrats lost 54 House seats.
Trump (2018): Republicans lost 40 House seats.
Midterm setbacks are nothing new in American politics. It has happened under both parties and multiple presidents.
Relax. It’s not the end of the world.
I think you’re going to see a quiet shift to DeSantis 2028 for @Republicans
Assuming Republicans lose the seats where prediction markets have the Democrats at 90+% to win, that would produce 55 Democrat Senate seats.
Chance of confirming a worthy successor to Justice Thomas and/or Alito during President Trump’s term: Zero.
Chance of confirming a worthy successor during a hypothetical GOP admin 2029-2033: probably zero (GOP won’t be able to recapture enough seats in 28).
