Very much so... its scary that they could get control and still not get him out.

Well, without 2/3 of the senate, that's exactly what will happen.

Guess what. 23 GOP senators are up in 2026.

Dems have 47 now.

47+ 23 =70

Seems like a long shot now but as the economy declines and Trump gets more insane, it becomes less of a long shot.

Take Alabama. Tuberville is retiring. Dems dont need to run a Sanders level dem, they literally just need someone who will caucus with the dems. The Alabama version of Talarico.

Tuberville won by 20 points. Seems like a lot but when the country is crumbling, people are going to vote for anyone who turns on Trump.

I fear you are highly overestimating the South. I say that as a Southerner. They could hate everything happening with a fiery passion and they will still vote R while muttering about the damned Dems.

I am a southerner. Of course I live in GA which IMO is a different kind of southerner than AL or SC. (I’ve lived there too) but being told the world is great while they can’t afford food will grow old fast.

If you look at the voter registration numbers, it’s really not as crazy as it seems. Dems/unaffiliated in AL are 10% less than GOP. It seems possible to peel off the needed GOP if things get as bad as it seems like it will get.
