So that's how you get a Democratic president with filibuster-proof majorities, the group of whom definitely have the attention span to get those things done.

I agree the border deal shouldn't have been blocked. But the fact that deal is "the best deal they'll conceivably get" is more than enough reason to not want the above group to get into power.

The SC could block tuition forgiveness because Biden was trying to do it via EO. There's nothing that says it couldn't be legally mandated via Congress (which, granted, is how these things are supposed to be done). See my opening paragraph.

With Republicans being asked to vote against their interests for the purposes of stopping Trump, why should they feel confidence when Democrats not only refuse to put any of their interests on the back burner but (as we now have evidence via Biden's behavior) will promise moderation and then renege?

Looking at the map

Dems are losing West Virginia.

Dems have to defend Ohio, Montana, and Arizona. They could take Texas if they had a crazy good night.

If dems have a great election they might take the house by 10 or so votes. More likely it has a slim R margin.

The dems aren't capable of taking margins that would allow them to do that much.

But the whole point of this is that to make the R's a party again they have to lose bad. They don't care if Susan Collins tsk tsks Trump, or that you feel kind of icky about filling in the Trump bubble. They care that MAGA will primary them unless they kowtow to glorious leader. The Republican Party hasn't cared about policy since Obama was in office and they haven't cared about debt since Clinton was in office.
