Don’t feel bad about winning. Do Republicans owe it to Democrats to be fair? Never forget, Democrats want to change the way America works, and we should have learned the hard lessons from playing fair with them in the past; we know what they do when given a chance at fairness. We are now at a point where we control all branches of government, and there is a chance to gain many seats in the House and Senate, thereby strengthening our majorities. And that we should do everything we can do, even if it means gaining just a single seat. It drove me crazy in the 2024 election to see so many close races going to the Democrats, especially in California. If we had monitored election fraud more closely, there would already be larger majorities in Congress. And yes, there was a lot of election fraud where illegal aliens and mail-in ballots pushed tight races to Democrat wins. We were all paying attention to Trump and were happy he won. We were delighted to get majorities in the House and Senate. But we could have had more. It should not be as close as it is right now. So, we owe it to ourselves to stop the midterm trend of giving the keys back to the other party and instead gain deeper majorities. There are several ways we can do that. And even with all that said, remember what I say all the time, because it’s true. If you make it harder for Democrats to cheat, they can’t win elections. Not even in places like Los Angeles and New York. Democrats only have any trace of power through election fraud and other scandalous activities, so don’t feel bad doing what must be done to keep them from acquiring power ever, especially for these upcoming midterms.
The biggest news of the moment is that Texas is redistricting some of its congressional seats to favor GOP candidates, which could result in an additional 3-5 seats, a very positive development. Other states are considering the same approach, particularly in Florida and Missouri, which could result in a few additional seats. The rule is, if you can pick up one seat, Republicans should do it. Democrats have only been playing nice because they assume they will take back power in Congress in the midterms, and they plan to be obstructionists on every issue. And you can bet that they plan to impeach President Trump over every radical issue, just as they did in 2019 and 2020. The best way to prevent that is to eliminate the threat of power by not allowing them to have it. They might be upset at gerrymandering intentions with redrawing the maps to take advantage of Democrats, but what they have planned is far, far worse, and at this stage in 2025, completely avoidable. Historically speaking, a president’s party loses 32 House seats during midterm elections because voters swing between parties in frustration with the rate of progress that comes from the White House. Which is part of the plan in stalling everything Trump is trying to do, including appointing radical judges and even Jerome Powell keeping the Fed’s interest rates high, hoping to hurt Trump’s economy ahead of the midterm elections. So Democrats are already doing much worse than gerrymandering congressional districts. The key to success in holding onto Republican seats and even gaining more is for Trump to maintain an approval rating of around 63% and for Republicans to gain advantages in redistricting. Trump’s approval rating was excellent in June as the bombing in Iran and the Fourth of July events had everyone feeling good. Lately, with the Epstein talk and Russia causing lots of trouble, Trump is hovering at 44%. Democrats see that as blood in the water for them to exploit, so they will continue to throw gas on any fire that might hurt Trump.
Republicans, through redistricting efforts, could pick up 5-10 extra seats, which is a significant gain right out of the gate. There is additionally a Supreme Court case, Louisiana v. Callais, that indicates that Democrats have been accused of severe unconstitutional racial gerrymandering under the 14th and 15th Amendments. And if this provision were found to be the case, as we should not be making up districts based on race or sex, Republicans could pick up as many as 25 seats. This Supreme Court case is essentially judging on the premise of election fraud; the system is set up to take advantage of disadvantaged people for exploitation. Not fairness. This is the case regarding most things coming from Democrat politics. The argument in the Louisiana case is expected to occur in the fall of 2025, with a decision anticipated in mid-2026. And suppose the court rules that the Section 2 requirements for majority-minority districts are unconstitutional. In that case, states across the nation will need to redraw new maps before the 2026 midterms, potentially resulting in Republican pickups of 1-3 seats in states like Louisiana, Georgia, and Alabama. The probability of the strike down of S.B. 8 to limit Section 2’s will likely come down to a 5-4 or even 6-3 decision with Kavanaugh and Roberts siding for the change, which is now racial-based intent that supports unconstitutional gerrymandering. So do not feel bad about pushing back. Democrats have already made a mess of things for years, and countless Democrats who should never have been in representative government have been elected to seats they never should have had. And it’s time now to change all that.
Obviously, in the Senate, things are counted a bit differently, as two senators represent each state. So, gaining majorities requires a different strategy. However, suppose the trend toward wins in the House breaks the cycle of expectation that currently exists, where the party in power loses power during midterm elections. In that case, there is a possibility of gaining supermajorities in 2026 through 2028. And that is how we should all think about these things. So drop the pretense of fairness and play these things to win. And keep in mind the long game. The things we do today have an enormous impact on tomorrow. And you win tomorrow by planting the seeds for it today. I would add that if election reform were implemented alongside these mitigating factors, Republicans could achieve supermajorities in the House and Senate, possibly even before 2028. Numerous close Senate races fall within the margin of error that Democrats have built into their assumptions. And if we take that away from them, they will start to drop away like flies. They won’t be able to win future elections. So, redraw those maps wherever possible. Fight the Democrats in court over every issue, and don’t feel bad about wearing them out. They intend to destroy America; we have seen their actions before. So when you get a chance to take their head off with a boot to the neck, do it. Don’t hold back with compassion. Don’t get caught up in a contention of playing fair. Play to win, and play to defeat a political enemy that seeks at every turn to manipulate things toward our self-destruction. We don’t owe them any assumptions of fairness. The best thing we could do as Republicans is play to win by any means possible. And let the sums of those wins add up to supermajorities that will take our nation to a much better tomorrow because tomorrow starts today.
