The midterms are looming -- and the specter of death for a representative republic
By Eric Utter
Republicans better get their act together — and quickly. That said, I’m also urging pigs to fly.
I say this because the last, best hope for the Last, Best Hope will have expired on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026 if they do not. And I, for one, I'm not holding my breath.
At this point, I fully expect Republicans to lose the House and possibly the Senate, effectively ending Trump's presidency and the MAGA Revolution. I know this opinion won't sit well with many of you, but, sadly, I believe it to be the truth.
One might logically ask how this could be possible given that many of the views and policies Democrats promote are unpopular with the majority of Americans, and the fact that Republicans currently hold the House, Senate, and presidency?
There is at least a three-part answer to that query: rampant cheating on the part of Democrats, idiocy on the part of a misinformed electorate, and extreme cravenness on the part of Republicans.
If Republicans do blow it, they will have squandered their last chance to fundamentally transform the nation back to its founding ideals. The only hope for the country was for Trump and his administration to somehow defeat the endlessly vast Deep State and all the major institutions that are arrayed against them.
Unfortunately, at this point, the only possibility to achieve even a partial victory would be to nuke the filibuster and pass a full slate of election laws to prevent industrial scale fraud and cheating by the Democrats. (After which, they could theoretically reestablish the filibuster.)
But Republicans prefer losing to leading ... and will now likely get their wish in perpetuity.
