Democrats could win House as Republicans quit in numbers not seen since Depression

Republicans are crawling back into the woodwork, leaving Democrats to fix all their f****** blunders, once again.

Always the same cycle..... 1. Republicans get us into a war. 2. Economy implodes. 3. Democrat is elected and the economy starts to recover and the country heals. 4. Republicans get re-elected. Repeat the cycle.

Good. There was a 40 year, give or take, period of time there was enough sound thinkers to advance the country despite the stupidity such as we're currently struggling through.

Classic republican move. Execute a massive heist of wealth and leave everyone holding the bag when the shit crashes down. Then blame whoever is cleaning up the mess for not cleaning it fast enough, get reelected, repeat.

Ran the country in to the ground and then quit with lifelong benefits. Almost like the executives of big corporations and private equity do then f*** over all the working class employees and take their golden parachute.

Trump is doing everything possible to centralize everything in the oval office so the other branches of government won’t be necessary.

My theory is it will be harder for democrats to run against "fresh face" republicons, than the "retiring" republicons responsible for all this bullshit. Gives independents the false choice of voting for the new guy who is not a democrat.

The key is whether or not Republicans are successful in their efforts to rig all future elections.

They broke America, and then retire in a record speed for their big fat retirement check

If we lived in a sane country there would be no Republicans in power and they’d be as irrelevant as the Libertarian party.

So they did the last depression and beat feet. Now doing the same.

GOP destroyed everything they touched in just a year and a half. Its truly mind blowing.

Typical! Hand the Democrats a pile it shit. Make them clean it.  Fix the economy, AGAIN! Complain and armchair quarterback the entire time.  Scapegoat some women, immigrants, and minorities to get back in power. Soon as they do? Tax cuts for the rich. Gut the middle class. Start a war in the middle east. Every. Single. Time. 

They're quitting because they're COWARDS. Boot-licking COWARDS 

I can't wait for most of the country to get mad at the Dems for not cleaning up the mess instantly and then halfway through them actually cleaning it up they elect Republicans again who promise to fix things instantly and then they make things worse and then we elect Dems again to clean up the mess but they don't do it fast enough and...

If the ones who are not running for re-election were to resign en mass, democrats could take control before the next Congress.

Despite their many flaws, the Democratic Party is the only party capable of effectively and competently running our country as things stand currently. Republicans should never come close to this level of power ever again.

If the Democrats don't win the House and Senate, America is truly fucked.

Forget the labels. Research every candidate to know their background. (So many wolves wrapped in sheep's clothing.) Have lunches with your friends and compare notes on people running for office. Elect grassroots progressives who've proven their worthiness by working for the best interests of your community. Vote in every election - from dogcatcher all the way up the ladder. It ALL begins at the local level. Time to clean up our collective act and get this country back working for the people.

The writing is on the wall of the House. I just hope they take the Senate, too.

Midterms almost always favor the party opposing the President, and the Republicans are currently holding a tiny majority in the house. Why "could"?

"Could"? I'm seeing *orders of magnitude* more hatred and disgust for Trump and the GOP over the 2018 midterms - the midterms which has been described as a "Blue Wave". I can't remember the last time I saw a Trump poster in someone's yard, or bumper sticker on a car. And I live in Ohio. This is going to be the biggest gain by Democrats in a midterm in the last 100+ years. The gains in 2018 in the house were huge, but this time is going to be different. Now we have Epstein/pedophile accusations, war in Iran, gas prices, tariffs, tax plan, etc. They're screwed. Get out and vote, folks.

Bring the troops home, end the war, prosecute the criminals in the White House, pass laws, not norms, legislate universal health care and education for all, regulate industry, fully fund the green new deal, build out public transportation and make cities walkable, stop subsidizing red state confederates. Books not bombs; fully fund libraries as tech hubs and institutions for free training and career development.  Insure no future admin can ever rollback democracy again by enshrining it with a new bill of rights, pass an equal rights amendment, make voting a national holiday and mandate it like most democracies; regulate the corporate media and end media consolidation; fund public broadcasting and scientific research that benefits the public, not billionaires.  Form working coalitions with indigenous people and promote native knowledge. Eliminate government contracts from companies who are fighting against democracy; end the war on immigrants and minorities; close the private prison pipeline; eliminate funding for the crypto pyramid scheme and focus on funding human-oriented projects that deliver real benefits to 90% of Americans. End the AI and venture capital boondoggle. Return to open source solutions and public windfall.  Return to promoting the humanities and the arts and teaching people why democracy is good and authoritarianism is bad. Fund artists, musicians, craftspeople, and people who actually make stuff.  Return productivity to the people, not companies. Restore the separation between church and state. Elect non-believers and scientists to political positions.  Restore the position of religion to the private sphere. Legislate based on evidence not beliefs. End the war on the imagination.   Solve climate change and stop subsidizing fossil fuel.  End the tax loopholes for charitable orgs that allows conservatives to lobby against America in favor of monarchy and dictatorship. End the financialization of government and bring back public service.  Clean up private industry by taxing billionaires and giving tax breaks to working people to increase the middle class.  Raise the minimum wage to a livable wage.  Nationalize and municipalize industries that are robbing and stealing from Americans, including tax filing companies.

This country is such an abusive relationship. GOP makes a mess, Dems fix it, GOP comes back to steal everything and make another mess then leaves, Dems fix everything again, etc etc. Except what is happening in recent history is, Dems are in on “the take” and have little incentive to actually fix the broken cycle. It’s really going to take a strong populist movement, true democratic socialist leadership, if we have any hope of breaking the cycle. Or we can let it go on until the planet implodes and everyone goes to mars.

Rats jumping off a sinking ship no one likes what and how this administration is doing things. The heritage foundation is slowly decaying and they know it. They are trying to save the petrodollar by consolidating oil from other countries keeping control. Renewables are not part of that plan. That’s why they are against wind and solar. Epstein Epstein Epstein just to keep it viral

It would only take a handful of these retirees- showing some guts and spine - to form a breakaway factional voting bloc but these qualities are clearly absent in the GOP.

And when everything is shit because of Maga, they will become the minority populist party all over again. And start blaming all the shit THEY created on the opposition. It's a story that writes itself and can be seen coming many months away.

Republicans are quitting in numbers not seen since the Great Depression because they've set the stage for the next Great Depression.

Of course. After the country is bled dry financially anf f****** everything up as distraction, it is pointless to govern because they know they will be blamed for it. Republicans cower to let the Democrats fix their mess at the same time spreading misinformation for their idiotic and stupidly gullible voters. After the Democrats restore the country, these politcal and financial parasites called Republicans will come out, spread lies left and right to discredit the Democrats and win the next elections to start harvesting again. TLDR, Republican Americans are idiots and stupidly gullible voters.

There is only one metric that has predicted every US presidential election correctly: If the economy is doing well, people want less taxes and less social net and thus vote Republican. If the economy is doing poorly, people want the government to provide safety and vote Democrat. These swing voters are an extremely short-sighted, egiostical bunch. "I have a good job. I hate taxes!" / "I might lose my job. Everyone should pay taxes so I have social security!" Interestingly, this also means that under Democrat rule, the economy flourishes while it declines under Republicans.

Don’t believe the headlines. Vote. 

If we take everything we need to officially designate Republicans as domestic terrorists and hit the whole party with RICO.

"The Great Depression" Another Republican f*** up.

My hope is the new elected find a way to release and prosecute everyone listed in the Epstein files.

Republican voters hate the democrats because every time one is elected they think it takes too long to fix what the republicans did like the democrats should just be able to snap their fingers and have a perfect economy after th republicans spent their time driving it to the center of the earth

The classic “f*** everything up and dip” maneuver

Every one of these Rs who sees the writing on the wall should stay and fight by voting against their party instead of running away. But not one of them will.

Cowards running away from the hard work that requires morals

Easier than doing something, I guess.

Rats leaving the ship they have made sink.
