Abortion Issue Deflates GOP Hopes for November
August 26, 2022 at 4:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

“The Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe vs. Wade and ending the nationwide guarantee of abortion rights achieved a goal the Republican Party had pursued for more than four decades. Now, the bill has come due, at a price much higher than many Republicans expected,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“Since the ruling in June, Democrats have done significantly better than expected in special elections, culminating Tuesday with a victory in a race for a vacant congressional seat in upstate New York that strategists on both sides thought the Republican would win.”

“Combine those results with polls that show Democratic Senate candidates leading in a half dozen swing states plus a surge of women registering to vote this summer in several states, and you have the evidence that has caused nonpartisan analysts to drastically scale back their expectations for GOP victories this fall.”

1. Awww. How sad for our Christofascist Taliban Republican friends.

2. Yup, be careful what you wish for.....

3. What I've been saying since Kansas. "Common wisdom" about the Dems losing House & Senate...

… may prove to be ludicrously wrong. Voter suppression will be in full swing— so we shall see.

4. The abortion issue, trump, the obstruction of voting, sheer ignorance and mean-spiritedness of the

republicans should make them FOREVER unelectable. ...if there was a God!

5. Who knew that SCOTUS might haved saved this country...

from a Republican takeover of the House or Senate or both by motivating formerly apolitical women to register and vote Dem.

6. Yea.....

but Republicans are now focusing on Student Debt, howling like werewolves because the middle and poor class don't deserve any help forgiveness - only rich Republican congresscritters deserve loan forgiveness.

7. And the Biden admin is tweeting how much of their PPP debts were forgiven. Hypocrisy much? /nt

[Elessar Zappa]

8. I don't think

the Republicans will gain from the loan forgiveness. For every person who is mad about debt being forgiven, there’s a happy young person who will vote Democratic this November.
