The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

But on the positive side- Democrats will be left with huge majorities in the House and Senate.

Maybe. Don't be so sure. Remember, Trump's position on immigration and border control was popular. The GOP did what one needs to do to advance your agenda - actually change public opinion. In the four years since 2020, public opinion shifted sharply away from being concerned with the rights and treatment of people who are here illegally.

Plus, Democrats don't have a great Senate map in 2026. Maine is the only GOP Senate race that might possibly be competitive. The next most vulnerable would be....Lindsay Graham in South Carolina? Is he more vulnerable than John Ossoff in Georgia? Every other GOP incumbent up in 2026 is in a ruby red state. Which might present a few opportunities if there's an open seat, but I can't spot any incumbents on that map that would get thrown out based even in a thermostatic rejection of Trump's policies.
