Having voted for 54 years, I have yet to see republicans demonstrate the skill of governing when they are in the majority. I have witnessed the dems run rings around the republican caucuses. That is why we find ourselves sucking the hind teat again. I’m the voter who fired Daddy Bush and gave thousands for the election of W. I’m waiting for behavior modification on the part of the GOP. Until the, my wallet will remain closed.
The Repuklicans didn't do squat for the simple reason that at heart they're no different than the Demonrats. Both of them have the attitude that they should live higher off the hog than King Midas at taxpayer's expense and do absolutely nothing to earn their pay. As far as giving a fart in a windstorm about the average person on the street, the thought has never even once crossed their limited minds.
Whoop de do, Patel comes to the podium to declare they’ve arrested another non citizen voter. Why isnt Obama’s complete cabal not in prison yet? that was supposed to be priority one and here we are with zero results. I’m blaming Trump, Patel, Bondi, and Blanche for not making this the priority. We should have had results and a lot of people in prison in 2025 and here we are on the doorstep of 2027 with no more control of Congress. This is so stupid.
Senator Thune and may be other Senators were working with the Democratic Senators to destroy President Trump and the American people. That makes them Democrats .and evil. All the Senators want is money..
Bravo!! This is EXACTLY what happened! We were blessed by God with Trump, a brash, egotistical, visionary individual who LOVES this country. But the Republicans responded with Thune. 700 bills!! How many got past him? We handed him an 80/20 SAVE Act and he wouldn’t even try to pass it. Can’t kill the filibuster. Wait until the Islamo-Commie-crats do.
I too would like a accounting of votes and an investigation of all counties because the results in Texas doesn’t make sense and Paxton should do that before he leaves office.
Votes are orchestrated so someone up for re-election casts the deciding vote of a popular bill. If it's an unpopular bill that deciding vote is casted by someone entrenched and not up for re-election until voters forget their bad voting.
A well thought out article, but I'm not sure I agree with the Texas assessment. I'm in California, and the state is hemmoraging voters - many heading to Texas when their businesses relocate to avoid the punishing taxes and regulations. The voters sell their Bay Area/LA homes for exorbitant prices, and think they are geniuses while continuing to vote for the type of people who drover their companies out of California. In short, the "cancer" metasticizes across the country - including to Texas. I sure hope Abbot considers the bill to strip the emergency powers bestowed upon the governors office. Sacramento is a perfect example of what happens when you have no counterbalance to neuter stupid policies by career poltical hacks and zealots.
Very well said, should be required reading for every Republican legislator at both the state and federal levels. Everything you outline is so very true and it seems that the good ole boys’ club is alive and well in the Senate. Thune should never have been leader or should have been replaced when it was obvious that he was the holdup and the other senators seemed to be afraid to rock the boat.
Agree with you on a complete breakdown of all the election numbers. I truly believe that what happened defines probabilities, but the system that is supposed to prevent these things from happening is broken. The Senate, Thune, SCOTUS and others failed us.
They worked few hours and went home for 3 days. Thune is a joke
And yet the Republican Senators reelected him again. So stupid!

"I have yet to see republicans demonstrate the skill of governing when they are in the majority."
SO TRUE AND ALSO WELL KNOWN. People were ready for that after the 2024 Election and were hoping they wouldn't DO IT AGAIN. - THEY DID.

Wow! Way ,to go, Wendy. I could not have said it better myself. 1,000,000,000 % agree with you!
They turned into Democrats as soon as they got into office.
The deep state Controls everything.
This was all by design.

They bowed to baal decades ago, like I've been telling the world, but nobody wants to hear the truth.
Taking the weekend off thanks to their reelected leader .

Sadly, folks it's been a UNIPARTY for many years.

It's all orchestrated

That is a good question. They are silent because their in the same boat as the Democratic party.
