Maybe I’m right or maybe (probably) I’m wrong, but as a Republican I’m seriously starting to wonder if it would be a good thing for the Republicans to lose both the House and the Senate in November.
Here’s my reasoning, in no particular order.
- Even if the Republicans lose the House and the Senate, we still have the Presidency, the Supreme Court, and 26 out of 50 state governorships. So as much as the Democrats desperately want it to be true, controlling both the House and the Senate isn’t going to give them anything close to the absolute power they crave.
- Even if the Democrats take the House, there is a significant number of Conservative-leaning Congressmen and Congresswomen who reject the far-lefts’ extreme agenda and vote either towards the center or entirely Republican.
- The same holds true in the Senate. In particular, Senator Fetterman of Pennsylvania has made no secret of his disdain for the far-left and his refusal to even give lip service to their causes.
- If the Democrats do take the House and the Senate, many of the causes championed by the far-left, such as men participating in women’s sports, unfettered mass immigration, and replacing capitalism with socialism, are deeply unpopular and are opposed by more than 80% of the American population.
- If the Democrats do take the House and the Senate, it is almost guaranteed they’ll waste an incredible amount of time and resources in an effort to impeach President Trump. This plays right into President Trump’s hands and will ultimately be meaningless. Trump has not committed any impeachable crimes. Every action he has taken is to either enforce laws already passed by Congress or is through the use of power and authority that has been granted to him through the Constitution. In addition, there are simply not enough votes in the Senate to attain the two-thirds majority needed to convict and remove him from office.
- The Democrat’s support of unpopular causes and focus on attacking Trump will play heavily against them in the 2028 Presidential Election. The Democrats already have no candidates who stand a chance in a general election. This is the reason why Gavin Newsom has dropped out. He knows he can’t win a general election, as all his opponents in both the Democratic primaries and his Republican opponents have to do is point at the absolutely terrible conditions in California and the mass exodus of residents leaving the state. No opponent is going to let it slide that Newsom promised in 2021 to end family homelessness in California. Family homelessness has exploded in California as of 2026. Unelectability is also the reason Kamala Harris has avoided the race. She knows she cannot win and the Democratic Party does not even want her to run. No matter who the Democrats managed to prop up for a 2028 run, a Rubio-Vance or Vance/Rubio ticket will simply overwhelm them, especially since both Rubio and Vance will hammer hard at the fact that they will praise Trump’s efforts but focus on forging a good path forward, and that the Democrats will have held the House and the Senate for the previous two years and accomplished nothing.
Maybe I’m right. Maybe I’m wrong. But time will tell.
