"Kevin's a piece of shit. And let's just be honest about this, because he will say whatever you need to say to stay in power," said Kinzinger during Charlie Sykes' Bulwark podcast. "I'm not even saying that gratuitously to be mean to him. It's just a fact."He also said that "House moderates have a lot of power they're not willing to use, while the Freedom Caucus AKA "The Terror Club" is willing to shoot hostages." These anonymous, cowering moderates? Where are they? Are there any moderates left in the Republican Party?

(5,072 posts)A whole lot of the Biden and Democratic vote was anti-MAGAt. In a normal midterm year wed have gotten wiped out. All those problems, crime, inflation, gas prices etc, whether they were Joes fault or not were going to be laid at his feet and thats the way people vote. The general public isnt very up to speed on political reality. You see how it goes. With only one exception, the Presidents party always loses the House in the first midterm.
But the loons are an exception. If it werent for the ludicrous and, in some cases, illegal gerrymandering, wed have kept the House.
