US 2026 Midterm Elections Thread

[AZ_HighCountry]

This is the thread to discuss all things related to the US 2026 midterm elections.

Keep it clean. Keep it civil. If you can't, don't participate.

Will like to introduce the sponsor of the upcoming US Midterms......

Davey, try not to go down that road, ok?

Seriously, would like to have a serious discussion about the midterms and I know how this one potentially could go.

Ok?

What messaging are the Democrats giving aside from Never Trump?

Affordability, tax Elon, abolish ICE.

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

To provide an example of what the Democrats in Arizona are running on, protection of TPS (Temporary Protected Status) illegals and abolishment of ICE detention facilities are high on their agenda.

They claim the ICE detention facilities are inhumane yet they've never actually been inside one. This is a fact.

Meanwhile, they have yet to go inside a VA facility to see what those look like. There are three VA hospitals here in AZ. The one in PHX is the worst of the three. Former Senator and Navy veteran John McCain never sought treatment at the VA.

I enjoyed watching Sen. John McCain getting a warm welcome at the Navajo Reservation back in 2015.....

And drag queens....

Equality....



BTW, 50 years ago the Big Three automakers were laying off hundreds of thousands of auto workers in Michigan and shipping the jobs to Mexico.

Sounds like a winning formula.

Sounds like Democrats care more about immigrants than US citizens.

Let's be clear. Illegal aliens.

When people like Ro Khanna, who himself has a net worth in excess of $200M yet doesn't make any effort to voluntarily give it away, is on this bandwagon to "tax the uber-rich", you can't take any of them seriously.

There are a lot of vets on the Hopi and Navajo Reservations.

Many years ago I had the honor of meeting a few of the Code Talkers.

This "culture war" playbook worked in 2022 and 2024 but won't work in 2026 or 2028. People have figured out "critical race theory" was no big deal after all and not a reason to vote GOP.
