Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
With the spectacle of kaiju candidates Ronzilla and King Don flattening Tokyo as they battle it out for the presidential nomination, it’s no surprise that the Senate races are getting short-shrift. But don’t overlook them – look the hell out of them. These are hugely important because a Senate majority provides a critical bulwark – not the sissy dork kind but the real kind – against total Dem dominance if we lose our razor-thin House majority and if we nominate a presidential candidate who can’t get it done in the general. We have a very good map this cycle – we can’t blow it again.
Let’s talk about the presidential nominee thing for a second because it will be important. If we nominate Donald Trump, every Democrat invertebrate is going to come crawling out of his/her/xir libhole to vote against him. Nothing motivates these weasels like The Donald. This applies even if that crusty, senile old pervert with the popularity of chlamydia is on the ticket. Sure, Democrat voters understand that Biden is in a persistent vegetative state – maybe he should borrow some of Hunter’s blow to liven things up – but they hate Trump more. Their election of Keystone Shrek demonstrates they are willing to vote for a golem over Trump. Sadly, the same is true of some Republicans who will not vote for The Big T regardless – they should vote for the nominee regardless, but people are not always rational. So, in the Senate races, if Trump is on the ticket, it’s going to matter a lot. You don’t have to like that reality, but a reality it is.
Here’s another wild card. You might have noticed unless you get your news from the regime media, that Joe Biden is a massively corrupt scumbag with a dope-addled son who leaves his yeyo lying around the Oval Office when he’s not blasting rails of it off the booties of Ukrainian hookers. Well, the House GOP has noticed, and it is gathering the goods. There is approximately the same chance of the GOP impeaching Biden next year as there is Hunter Biden knocking up a stripper on your average Wednesday night down at the Cinnamon Hippo – 100%. This is a problem because the Democrat senators from red and purple states are going to have to vote on convicting the PINO – President-In-Name-Only – and if they go with the evidence, they alienate the pinkos they need. If they don’t, normal people may be offended by giving Crusty a pass. This is a huge dilemma for them, and their pain as they contort their flabby bodies trying to avoid it somehow will be hysterically funny to behold.
Also, no discussion of the GOP Senate will be complete without talking about Mitch McConnell. Love him, hate him, whatever – he was the dominant force in the Senate for years, and now…where did he go? We barely hear from him. We know he got badly hurt recently, and while he’s back, he’s definitely out of the limelight. His record in 2022 – like many people’s – was bad. Keeping a low profile might help with hardcore conservatives, who are pretty much done with him. His not being the face of the Senate race will help, but he will not be out of the game. You can be sure he will be behind the scenes, including raising money.
Let’s look at the key Senate races and understand that if the Republicans are smart, they can get the two seats we need to retake the majority. But then, remember that they are Republicans.
West Virginia: Joe Manchin could not be more toast if he were made of Wonderbread and smeared with butter. A Dem in WV is an anomaly that simply will not endure. There’s a good chance Joe does not even run and instead takes the nod from the No Labels geeks or does something else to escape the coming humiliation. There is no needle he can thread that saves his seat in 2024. This is a lock for the GOP.
Ohio: Sherrod Brown is a weird communist doofus who my home state has inexplicably elected several times, even though it has been getting consistently redder over the years. The idea of a younger, less-virile Bernie Sanders representing Ohio is bizarre, and this cycle, it is time to send him to where fired pinkos go. Trump will not hurt the GOP here, but the impeachment issue will hurt Brown since Brown holds a fellow Democrat countable for his crimes. I like Bernie Moreno here, but it will be a big primary because the GOP smells blood. This is a likely win for the GOP.
Montana: Trump’s endorsement – or even his being on the ballot – might help here. Jon Tester, who pretends to be a common-sense moderate at home but does commie puppy play with his hard-left Dem masters in DC, is running again. He’s the candidate who is most super-screwed if Kevin McCarthy can get the impeachment done. It will matter in Montana if the crew-cut comm-Symp who voted to impeach Trump gives Biden a “Get Out of Getting Out of the White House” free card. The problem for the Republicans in Montana is, as usual, Republicans. It is unclear who will run for the seat. The establishment is trying to get a self-funder in. That’s always risky, and even when they get in, self-funders are often soft. Matt Rosedale, who is kind of obnoxious, is the other big name, but he has already failed one test against Tester. Testers should be easy pickings, but leave it to the GOP to make the easy win hard. This is a toss-up for the GOP, one we could very easily blow.
Indiana: I was not even going to mention this race since Rep. Jim Banks has it sewed up, but just the other day, some self-funder egg magnate named John Rust made noise about jumping in. This literal RINO, when he even bothers voting in primaries, often votes Democrats – it’s unclear if he even identifies as a Republican, even though that’s the party he’s claiming to be in this week. Apparently, Rust thinks there’s some untapped groundswell of Hoosier support for foregoing a proven winner like Banks and instead embracing a narcissistic doofus with a track record of backing pinkos. Banks has the endorsement of Trump and a bunch of senators we like, as well as, presumably, the poultry community, over Eggboy. If this latest rich guy with dreams of political glory is determined to waste his money, so be it. But Indiana is going to elect a real conservative in Jim Banks even if this scrambled fraud decides to jump into the frying pan. This is a lock for the GOP.
Pennsylvania: The Democrat running this year is not the brain-damaged ogre. It’s Bob Casey Jr., who used to pretend to be moderate but figures he no longer needs to pretend. His vote for Biden in the impeachment will be irrelevant. Suppose you are willing to elect a semi-ambulatory human bratwurst like Fetterman. In that case, you are not voting against someone for hi-fiving Chi-com operatives as they hand President Grafto a sack with a dollar sign on it. We need a strong nominee, but PA tends to pick people who are DOA. There is speculation that Dr. Oz might run again. He’s a nice guy, but he needs to not. I like David McCormick, a fellow Gulf War vet with the dough and the smarts to give it a good run. Also, if Trump is on the ticket, that will hurt us badly. This is tough for the GOP and will be even tougher if we nominate another weak candidate.
Arizona: Kyrsten Sinema is now an independent, which means she’s a Democrat who the party is mad at but not mad enough not to caucus with. She is being primaried by a flat-out communist, but her pseudo-centrism – she always comes in for the win when the Dems need her – has served her well. Expect her to be the de facto, if not facto, Dem nominee.
We need to beat her, but can we? Candidates matter, and Arizonans elected a bunch of Republican congresspeople last time, so the votes are there. They just refused to elect the other Republicans on the ballot. I like Kari Lake, but if she runs and gets nominated, we’re nearly certain to lose. Trump will hurt the GOP if he is on the ticket – like in Georgia, he has simply burned too many bridges with the party rank-and-file.
Oh, and there are going to be more election shenanigans under the Dem administration. But luckily, Trump’s pick for GOP chair Ronna McDaniel is on the case and is certain to be just as effective in 2024 as she was in 2020 and 2022. So, The GOP can probably write off Arizona.
Nevada: What a heartbreaker. Nevada has these Democrat mediocrities as senators and we keep losing to them, barely. Adam Laxalt does not seem to be running again – he was evidence that you can have a good candidate and still lose – and it is unclear who might be able to take on and win whoever the hell the current Nevada senator is. She can freely vote to exonerate the corrupt PINO; the Democrat machine is beyond questions of mere policy or morality. Nevada is not looking good; this is a likely lose.
Wisconsin: Noted middle-aged wine woman Tammy Baldwin is the Democrat incumbent and Congressman Mike Gallagher took a pass on running. It’s unclear who will run – likely some self-funding rich guy who will get bulldozed into defeat. Sad! Wisconsin is winnable, but you can’t beat somebody with nobody. Don’t hold out much hope here; this is another likely loss.
Utah: This state is not going Democrat, but we still need to win it back for the Republicans. I want Mitt Romney to be not only beaten but broken. I want him handed a giant humiliation sandwich and to watch him take a bite. He’s a smug, narcissistic trash who screwed over Mike Lee, Donald Trump, and everyone else he has ever dealt with (I still do not forgive him for what the spineless press did to Ric Grenell in 2012). But this is Utah, and Utah people are weird Republicans. Some are based. Some are stuck in 2005. If Romney runs, he could win again, as insane as that seems. I like Jason Chaffetz. It’s time that Utah gets a second senator.
The bottom line is we are likely to get two more seats if we do not blow one of our holds. But again, these are Republicans – don’t ever underestimate the GOP’s ability to screw-up a sure thing.

Fools like this are so stupid as to give credibility to obvious vote fraud.
Doing so destroys any street cred they ever had.
The Senate races look like Spy- vs.- Spy from Mad Magazine.
In many cases quite literally as they are former spooks.
This entire premise is laughable.
Was this guy asleep in 2020 and 2022?
He’s always been asleep, especially while “just following orders” as a laptop bombardier, killing innocent foreigners abroad, making fresh enemies for his country, while pretending to be defending his country.
War is a racket, and ol’ Kurt is in on it. Fuck him.
No, he is a paid liar.
Get a job, Kolonel Keyboard.
He has a job as a professional shill.
Unless the real Republicans do something about ballot harvesting and other voting fraud perpetuated by the Dems and RINOs, there’s no hope. Sad to say, but we have to be real.
Are there any real republicans? Also I like the whole article that assumes voting even matters. I’ll probably do it, especially if I can get an hour or 2 off of work, but it’s already been decided
Mitch would still be in charge with the same neocon masters as Chuck.
I would much rather fill out that ballot, put the sticker on my shirt, and turn on the game feeling good about Our Democracy. Albeit sufficiently frustrated with the system for failing once again to advance any of my interests to fuel my posts for another couple of years. The Democrats, after all, are the real racists.
But I already voted with my feet and my wallet. My selection 2024 ballots were cast well in advance.
By the way, the voting tax is real. It was a costly set of lessons leading up to another, ongoing, costly set of decisions, involving trade-offs that will likely not pay off in this world, that set me apart from the wicked system.
The path continues to vex me in ways that are frankly just boring and rote and foreign to anyone who has not taken a similar tack.
The insidiousness of the vote more harder delusion isn’t just that it gatekeeps and validates the humiliation ritual that is our post-modern charade of representative self-governance, but that it kindles the moral self-license to continue to straddle the rapidly widening chasm between alt-reality and reality, the pursuit of good within the hegemony of evil, with the foisted virtue of rationalization, preventing those real ballots of action from ever seeing light.
In this chasm of the inert, where the other side’s NPC seem so much more obvious, there resides just enough moral slope to invert the argument for not ‘voting’ on paper as ‘defeatist’, while holding voting through our choices and priorities at bay as something TBD just if…as soon as …when…while the next barrage of very real defeats places its boot on our faces.
Must be monday!
“we can’t blow it again”
Go fuck yourself, you fucking piece of shit.
Do you treat all the other retards as harshly as that? “C’mon, man.”
If the Republicans don’t nominate Trump, they are done…cooked…If they do, tidal wave of real votes…Democrats rely on fake votes to begin with, so the fraud will have to be super-massive, but Kurt can’t talk about that…
Nah, man. This con goes on forever. And that’s what no one wants to talk about.
You can vote your way into totalitarian rule, but you ALWAYS have to shoot your way out. That’s why it happens so rarely…lackaballz. No one wants to talk about that either.
Seems even odds that there will be some kind of pew pew heads on pikes restoration versus some other mass convergence episode in which the plurality come to believe the inversion in its fullness. i.e. “Slavery is freedom” and so on and take up their own resistance to seeing that order fall. In either case there are bound to be a messy, protracted period of iterations in which most people lose regardless.
The “you will own nothing and like it” versus “We’ve got nothin left to lose”. Of course, there is always something to lose because we are fallen and struggle with the in/of this world.
As a Christian, I know we win in the End. But the “we” by definition affords a comfort beyond the confines of the fallen world on our watch. Nobody ever imagines themselves to be the baddie – nor that extra that just lumps over into the water face down two steps off the craft on Omaha beach.
I put the odds currently at 60/40 for.
As for this fallen world? And our constant struggle in it? It’s WHY I don’t lean on my own understanding, but on God’s plan for me and the covering of Christ Jesus. I may be rough as a cob, but I recognize the Voice of my Shepherd. He has not abandoned me, nor will He ever.
Put another way, I don’t always receive kill orders from God, but when I do, it’s two to the chest and one in the head. I’m like Isaac that way.
Who owns this guy?
American politics is real, stupid goyim.
Suck My D—
” . . . we can’t blow it again.”
GOP: Hold my Bud Lite.
Don’t think the gop could even handle that piss water, probably be passed out in the back 40 like they have been for how many years? I’m mid 40s so gotta be longer than that
Why any articles of Schlichdick’s appear on tbp is what I don’t understand
Learn to accept the fact that you’re never going to understand everything…this side of The Veil. It will help with that psychic distress you’re experiencing.
i would love to see bitch mcconnel dead along with his chinese communist wife.
if the house impeaches the turd, the senate will dismiss charges within a day – all lead by bitch.
