NEW: Donald Trump is underwater with registered voters in **135** GOP-held House and Senate seats. His approval is <45% in 44, including 10 senators. Should be a warning for Republicans in Congress weighing electoral cost of Trump's war and crazy tweets. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-07 ...

Trump will promise an end to American civilization if he doesn't win the midterms.

It's just a matter of time until he tries to cancel the mid terms.

I guarantee there will be plenty of bomb threats that originate in Russia on election day targeting meaningful districts.

When he loses the mid terms he knows he is cooked.

He will get increasingly desperate like a cornered rat.

He should have never been allowed to run again after J6.

That is firmly on the shoulders of Mitch McChinless.

Yes. The tariffs are still killing mom & pops and consumers. A temporary cessation of hostilities in the ME and temporary lowering of prices at the pump - which will take a long time to get back to where they were pre-war - won't help.

He was cratering before the war. Nothing else will have changed. ICE will keep shooting people, prices will remain high.
