It’s clear that the GOP’s strategy nationwide is to create investigations and try to make look Democrats look bad as a reaction to the most recent elections.

This feels like a critical mis-read of the message voters were sending. Republicans should have gained 30 - 50 seats in the US House and 3 - 5 seats in the Senate. Instead, they gained only a handful in the House and lost a seat in the Senate. Other than the Qnuts and Ultra MAGAs, most people were voting against the party’s Trump-stremism. They seem to be intent to double down on it as their primer for 2024. I think they’re overestimating how much people care about Hunter Biden, etc.

I guess we’ll see… but they haven’t had a good election since 2016 and seem determined to stay the course. What’s that definition of insanity again?

PA is happy to have helped the GQP lose a seat in the Senate. :-)

Yep. I do wonder if Fetterman would have beaten McCormick if Trump had kept his nose out of it… especially after Big John’s stroke. But I’m glad it worked out the way it did, and I think Fetterman will be a good senator.
