re: GOP internal polling says 2026 Midterms could be as bad as 2006

Only 3 times in the last 120 years has the President's party gained seats in a midterm election, 1934, 1998, and 2002. The average is a loss of 27 seats. The Republicans are "in charge" and aren't very popular right now. The most likely scenario is a 2018 where the Dems win the house and the GOP retains the Senate.

This sounds like BoomerBook problems. I know if someone hacks your account and you lock it down they require stuff like this to reopen your account. Old people are always getting “hacked”.

Correct. Many people thonk this is one massive project. Intersection by intersection, it is already being done.

Problem is one intersection takes 3 years and they do them one at a time. It might be done in 25 years. But I have doubts the part from Des Allemands to US 90 bus is ever completed.

The republicans leaned in hard on a bad candidate with baggage. This may go like how JBE's election went in Louisiana vs Vitter.

Vitter won a US Senate race 57-38 AFTER his scandal broke. Voters are fine with sending baggage off to Washington. They don't like voting for people like that for Governor.

There's no scenario in which Abbott loses. I don't even like Abbott because he's done nothing the last 12 years as Texas descends into its 3rd world hellhole future. But he doesn't have the enemies Paxton has and is more palatable for the idiotic white suburban idiots. Paxton has major RINO enemies and they'd give the US Senate seat to a Democrat if it meant getting rid of Paxton.

Paxton is at least starting to run better ads and showing what a freak Twinkrico is. His first few ads in the late summer were terrible.

Even that comparison goes only so far, though. Lake Charles can toll because it‘s a captive river crossing with no free alternative. The I-49 Connector would run directly above a free surface street, so even flawless execution would face real diversion risk that Lake Charles doesn‘t.
