Normally this bill would be political suicide by the Republican Party

7. The GQP starts out with a disadvantage in the midterms, without Trump on the ballot

his magat cult has less reason to show up and vote--- and remember their poor record
in the midterms of 2018 (when the "incumbent party backlash" gave us back the House)
and the 2022 midterms (when the predicted Democratic "obliteration" failed to occur as predicted)...

Meanwhile, they have already lost the independent "center",
and THOSE people are going to be pissed off, and voting!


So it matters less what the magat true believers think,
we really don't need to change any of THEIR minds,
because many fewer of them will bother to vote in 2026!

(And YES, I agree that we ought to have our own 2026/2028 "project"!)
