The 2026 Midterms

[Goober]

The Republican candidates running for office this year in south Florida are touting a campaign promise of making things more affordable, yet they also promote their support for donOLD and MAGA. They either refuse to answer or they offer a bigly word salad when asked how the tariffs they support are lowering the cost of living for their (potential) constituents.

As we get closer to the midterm elections, and if trump's approval continues to nosedive, what's he gonna do? As crazy as he's been before, we ain't seen nothin, yet.

General consensus seems to be that he's given up on the whole "winning" the election thing, so he's concentrating on rigging the elections.  On the plus side the 90 limit on purging voter rolls has just passed so White House's wish to have mass disqualification of voters may have run out the clock.

I'm thinking it's going to be day of the election disruption with National Guard and/or ICE agents interfering with polling stations.  The White House will also try to knee cap the postal service and interfere with mail in ballots.
