Not hard to see why the Democrats are increasingly seen likely to take both House and Senate. Trump's approvals are way below his first term and Biden at this point. He's blowing up the Republican party...
New post:

Midterms polling is getting dramatically worse for Trump.

So what happens if he loses the House and Senate?

What could the Democrats do with the powers they'd gain? What impact would it have on global politics?

@Samfr At what point do people start to understand that as a wannabe dictator, Trump will find a way to make sure Democrsts do not win in November. Dictators do not hold free and fair elections

@MatthewWh Dictators don't but wannabe dictators have to suck it up because they don't have the power of dictators.

@Samfr I'll take it, but it's disgraceful that it took high gas prices to get people to abandon him.

Republicans will go along with the most disgusting criminal acts clapping like seals, but touch their wallets and they turn on you.

Completely self centered.

@Samfr He was always going to
It was just a matter of time: time before the population saw the impact / read through the bluster; time before the Republican Party read the situation and realised no way back

The bigger issue will be the post Trump era
Will there be retributions etc?

@Samfr @BrendanNyhan However, to progress on issues, it isn’t just a majority in the House and Senate that Dems need. Dems have to take the Senate by a 52 seat majority, as Fetterman, quipping his own words, “is a lifelong Republican”.
