Everything Trump touches turns to shit. One guy even explained to @bobshireman that Trump University started as a decent concept, until Trump realized he could make more money scamming people. https://t.co/yGaFSZSbN7
To be fair, there were definitely some more liberalish Southern Dems in past, and still a bunch of liberalish Dems from western states back when Dems had 59/60 in 2009, but this caucus is pretty pretty good.
This is a bigger shift than even is being described. The last time states like Texas, South Carolina, and Mississippi sent Democrats to the Senate, they were conservatives; on many issues they were to the right of some Eastern Republicans. This is a new kind of majority.
Trump's cartoonish corruption, and mishandling of the economy and the war, were big, but also:
Trump drove almost all Republicans of any integrity or competence out of politics. What was left were low-skill sycophants and shills, to compete with an impressive roster of Democrats.
@HaleyforMI Mike Rogers is an out of touch corporate shill who has run a campaign of hateful lies and could be the 50th vote for Trump authoritarianism, but sure if your only issues are Likud and your little hurt feelings
Trump’s reaction to the corrupt misadventures of Alina Habba and LaCivita — not that the corruption is outrageous, but that I want a cut — is pure mob boss. The USA is a cartoon.
The Democratic candidates for House and Senate are far more capable and just better humans. The MAGA party candidates are corrupt, decrepit, sad suck-ups to Trump and billionaire donors. The people see it.
It's clear Trump is trying to rig the election, as he was convicted in NY of trying to do in 2016 & as he was indicted & impeached for trying to do in 2020. Advocates are countering the threat, but everyone who cares about our future will have to vote & then stand up and fight.
This is priceless.

The midterm convention is more proof the @Republicans party is a cult entirely subservient to a delusional, hateful convicted felon who has increased the cost of living, dragged us into needless wars, and perverted government for his personal whims. They all should be ashamed.
