Donald Trump casts a huge shadow that President Biden can erase only with the tiny flashlight that he has been granted.

This said, the GOP is still tied closely, in all but a few cases, to Donald Trump and increasingly to crimes of abuse of power that he committed in the name of the power of his Party. Add to this, Trump's Supreme Court acts in its majorities as if it is a cell of the John Birch Society in its decisions on reproductive rights and the responsibilities of police, and who knows what is next. It's going to take much more than a little perfume to remove the stench of Donald Trump.

Do you have any idea what a REAL example of "Abuse of Power" actually looks like PB? So, how are the Jan 6th Kangaroo Court ratings these days? Are they any higher than they were several months ago or has America pretty much moved on for the most part like I told you several months ago? Like I've mentioned to you before, you better pick the best  Blue shit hole that you can think of now vs leaving the decision on what to do with all of you up to US.

Turn off  Fox and OANN.  Try anything not tied to the far right, and see if your arguments still hold.  The 1/6 commission has staged as solid a show based, not on lefty interviews, but solidly on Trump's own people.  Even hardcore Trumpists have been staggered -- assuming they taek the time ands trouble to be aware.  So on to November.

I can't claim to know the results of voting then, any more than anyone else, but enthusiam on the right is down (based on fund raising and polling), while enthusiasm on the left is up -- way up.  it's hard to know how that plays, but the women are seriously pissed about the SCOTUS steals leading to a loss of their rights.  It could be blood bath. 

2024 is vastly more important.  Prediction: Trump runs again, but the Dem is not Biden.  Look for a surprise, like Gretchen Whitmore or even a cross-over Republican as VP.

I tend to think vice versa. Trump does not get the nomination, but Biden does-- because there's no-one else. A cross-over Republican VP? Obviously not a trumper. I don't know any such Republicans who are also not neoliberals, and a neoliberal is not compatible with a Democratic president. And such a Democratic nominee had better not cave in and compromise with neoliberalism. It needs to go!

Midterms are just as important as presidential elections. A surprise? We can't count on that. Obama: "you cannot sit back and wait for a savior..... all we need is hard-working people, who are accountable, and they will step up and join our government, and make things better, IF they have support." That support comes in the midterms, and that's where today's civic generation need to become civics and know this, and "show up". Biden needs support now. And if a Democrat wins in 2024, (s)he will need support in 2026.
