Republicans Have Prime Opportunity To Take Multiple Seat Senate Majority By Following Multi-Tiered Plan
Republicans have a prime chance to take back a multiple-seat majority in the U.S. Senate as nine Democrat seats are in play for Republicans heading into 2024. Meanwhile, just two GOP seats offer realistic pick-up opportunities for Democrats.
With 49 Democrats and two independents who caucus with them, the left currently
holds a 51-seat Senate majority over Republicans, who have 49 seats. But the map in 2024 for Republicans is highly favorable, with just 11 Republican seats
up for election this year to 23 Democrat seats, and no GOP incumbents are particularly vulnerable. A four-tiered plan to secure a GOP majority begins with defending the two Republican seats Democrats have the best chances at flipping - Texas and Florida - and going on the attack against the weakest Democrat incumbents and zoning in on favorable open races.
Tier One: Defend Florida and Texas
Strong incumbents occupy these two seats with excellent name recognition: Sens.
Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rick Scott (R-FL).
"Of our ten seats we have to defend our two seats, that are the most difficult
out of ten and these are not hard seats ... So that shows you how good the map
is for us," National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Sen. Steve Daines
(R-MT) told Breitbart News in March.
What is more, both states are conservative strongholds. Florida has become increasingly red in recent years, and it has been a long time since Texans elected a Democrat in a statewide election.
"If you think about Florida, Rick Scott has confirmed he's running for reelection," Daines said. "You always want to make sure your incumbents are running again and Rick Scott - former governor of Florida, now Senator of Florida - he's announced his reelect. Rick Scott is a great candidate. He will
run a great campaign. Any Democrat who thinks they can beat Rick Scott, I think
is dreaming a bit, but Rick is going to have a race and we have to make sure we're going to support Rick Scott in that race. Then you go to Texas, with Ted
Cruz, the Democrats - they hate Ted Cruz. The liberals hate Ted Cruz. They'll raise a lot of money against Ted Cruz. Ted is going to have a race in Texas. That's going to be - it's always tougher than you think in Texas. But listen, nobody is going to bet against Ted Cruz right now. We've got to support him and
ensure he gets the resources he needs, but Ted Cruz will win that race."

Keeping these seats would be the base for Republicans to go on offense for the
nine most vulnerable democrat seats under the tier system.
Tier Two: West Virginia, Ohio, and Montana
The best pick-up opportunities for Republicans are in West Virginia, Ohio, and
Montana - as Daines previously noted to Breitbart News. Former President Donald
Trump won all of these states in 2016 and 2020, and they have trended red in non-presidential races in recent election cycles.
West Virginia, where Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has announced he will not seek reelection, is the lynchpin to Republicans' map in 2024. Manchin, one of the most moderate Democrats in the Senate, trailed significantly in polling to Trump-endorsed candidate Gov. Jim Justice (R-WV) for months before announcing he would not launch another bid for office in October. Moreover, a Democrat has
not won a statewide election in West Virginia since Manchin narrowly did in 2018, and the state has voted red in every presidential election this century.
Justice, who announced his defection from the Democrat Party and that he was a
Republican midterm at a Trump rally in 2017, leads Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) in the Republican primary. In 2020, Justice enjoyed a 33-point victory over Democrat Ben Salango to secure a second term, while Sen. Shelly Moore Capito (R-WV) beat her Democrat opponent by an astounding 43 points, and Trump carried
the state by 39 points over Biden - showing conservatives' might in the Mountain State. This will be the best pick-up opportunity for Republicans in 2024 and has already been marked as "Solid R" on the Cook Political Report.

If Republicans take Manchin's seat in West Virginia, incumbent Democrats seeking reelection in Ohio and Montana will give Republicans the best opportunities to take a majority in the Senate. Vulnerable Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is seeking reelection in the Buckeye State, where voters elected Republicans in all statewide elections in the 2022 midterms after they broke for Trump in 2016 and 2020.
A three-way race is currently unfolding for the Republican nomination. However,
Trump gave his coveted and highly influential endorsement to entrepreneur Bernie Moreno on December 19. He led the race before the announcement, according to two internal polls from his campaign and a super PAC supporting him. In his statement, Trump called for the party to unite behind Moreno - who
has the backing of Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Maro Rubio (R-FL), and Mike Lee (R-
UT) - but Secretary of State Frank LaRose's campaign made clear he intends to remain in the primary.
In 2022, Vance saw a substantial boost in support in the Republican primary after landing Trump's support and cruised to the nomination. From there, he beat out former Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) in the general election race by more than
six percent - preventing Democrats from picking up the Republican seat held by
former Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH). Republicans throttled Democrats in other statewide races in the midterms, including the gubernatorial election, where Gov. Mike DeWine (R-OH) had a 25-point victory. LaRose had a 21-point victory,
and Republicans won by double digits in the races for treasurer, auditor, and attorney general. This followed Trump's roughly eight-point wins in Ohio, once
considered a swing state, over twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016 and President Joe Biden in 2020.
Like Brown, Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) is vulnerable heading into 2024, as Montana
has not voted for a Democrat in a statewide race since Tester's reelection bid
in 2018. Tester's win that year was narrow as he beat out Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) by 3.5 percent, and Republicans have dominated races since then. In 2020, Gov. Greg Gianforte (R-MT) had nearly a thirteen-point victory over Democrat Michael Cooley, Daines won his senate race by ten percent, and Rosendale carried the state's lone congressional district at the time by double
digits as well. Republicans also swept the races for attorney general, auditor,
and secretary of state. Trump carried the state by 16.4 points over Biden that
year.

Navy SEAL veteran Tim Sheehy has announced his candidacy for the GOP nomination
for Senate in Montana. He has racked up several endorsements from sitting U.S.
senators, including Daines, who have also announced their support for Trump. He
also has the backing of other key local officials, like Gianforte and Rep. Ryan
Zinke (R-MT). Rosendale has also been eyeing a second challenge to Tester, stating in December he was strongly considering a bid. However, Rosendale dragged his feet on announcing his support for Trump for months, until December
11, while Sheehy endorsed Trump months ago. In July, Breitbart News confirmed a
CNN report that Trump had informed Rosendale he would not support him if he entered the senate race.
In theory, Republicans could take a clean two-seat majority before states in tier three - where Democrats are more competitive - are even accounted for.

Republicans Have Prime Opportunity To Take Multiple Seat Senate Majority By Following Multi-Tiered Plan
Which reminds me to ask:
If the Democrats cheated to win the last presidential election...
...why didn't they cheat to take the House and Senate as well?

You're fucking kidding... right?
Did you go to COLLEGE?
I went to STATE COLLEGE.
I think pretty much everyone here, went to COLLEGE.
Maybe some others in the ELECTion business went to college but haven't been in
an ORAL STATE about it.
How does the House and Senate EVER go one way while the Presidency goes the other.
For fuck's sake, Cuntnadian. Go to your local collich and take a few AMERICAN Civics classes, instead of just trying to guess at everything involving American politics.
This is why I hardly ever bring up Canadian politics. I'm ignorant on the topic, and I'm not a narcissistic nerd who THINKS he knows everything, like you.
I will NEVER pretend to KNOW the Canadian political system... but I WILL post about your gay fuck of a PM. I may not know Canadian politics, but I know a Communist/Marxist/Socialist/Fascist when I see one.

Non-sequitur.
Start another thread, and MAYBE I'll reply. How stupid. To ask such a question,
is to already KNOW the answer... so, just tell us yourself, how that could possibly have happened?, but do it in another thread.
============================================================================
You probably spend a small amount of time feeling sorry for Alan, but elated when this undeserved narcissist starts spouting his hate and bile.
Have you ever wondered how to make a Alan, the narcissist, miserable and what makes him afraid or triggered? (maybe for a second... then it's gone)
Just for the record, trying to make Alan, the narcissist, miserable might have
its place for a short period of time, but I don't recommend focusing on it for
too long as this will inevitably get old.
But, if you need a quik fix, let's get into the top things all narcissists, like Alan, hate.
How to Make Alan, the narcissist, Miserable
Lack Of Acknowledgment: (filter on ignore)
Even though he KNOWS he's being ignored, he continues to reply, as if ANYONE really cares, other than himself. THAT is narcissism.
It's no secret that most narcissists, like Alan, revel in admiration and validation (except for 'closet narcissists', like Alan). Alan depends on constant approval to maintain his sense of intrinsic worth. To achieve this goal, he TRIES to absorb (or steal) the energy of other people.
"Prove it."
Do you ever wonder why narcissists, like Alan, don't seem to mind the negative
attention? It's because negative attention also fuels his narcissistic fire.
ANY attention, even NEGATIVE attention, IS STILL ATTENTION, and any form of attention gives him the incentive to keep going. It gives him the motivation to
keep proving himself (by making others prove THEMSELVES.
In fact, he often likes negative attention better, because if you're still amused by his emotional crimes, he can try to exploit this.
Therefore, a lack of acknowledgment is the real threat. To Alan, the narcissist, indifference is even more of an issue than hatred. Alan's rather you have a negative opinion than have no opinion at all.
(sick fuck)
Narcissists, like Alan, can't stand it when no one is paying attention to him.
Alan doesn't know how to feel important or special if he isn't the center of the universe or consuming someone's thoughts. This is also why the traditional
Grey Rock method is often pointless and why complete avoidance is the best route (or extreme modified contact... just ignore the sick fuck).
When People Speak Factually:
Have you ever paid close attention to how Alan, the narcissist, speaks? He ALWAYS trying to belittle those he THINKS are below his station.
Additionally, through the use of cognitive empathy, he's spent his entire life
observing the emotional language of other people, ESPECIALLY RUSSIAN SPORTS OFFICIALS and using it to his advantage. So, when you speak in facts instead of
using emotion, he intuitively understands he has less of an upper hand.
Therefore, he hates it when someone challenges him with facts instead of emotion. Alan will usually retaliate with more arguing or hysteria. PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT!
This childish response simply shows that he feel out-of-control. Alan's attempt
to elevate the conversation's intensity by throwing an emotional temper tantrum. PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT!
PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT!
If anything, this dynamic only highlights the narcissist's immaturity. His inability to absorb facts demonstrates his incompetence in approaching most adult interactions.
Authority:
Narcissists, like Alan, detest authority. That's because he resents having to answer to anybody but himself (mommy orders him around, further compounding his
anger).
"Ski lifts are closed... too much snow." Bu bu but snow is just a thing of the
past, Alan says, even though we're seeing snow levels we saw in the 70s, when CO² was MUCH lower.
Any sense of authority threatens his inherent desire for power and control. "You can't ski here, bunny."
While narcissists, like Alan, can be intelligent, he often come across as combative and unfit in professional environments. If confronted by his inappropriate behavior, he tends to deny or rationalize his part. PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT!
PROVE IT!
Of course, it's no surprise that most authority figures dislike working with narcissists, like Alan. Supervisors (LOL) find him unruly and unreasonable.
Alan can't understand why the person can't follow basic directions without such
volatile reactions.
Being Told No:
Of all things, Alan, the narcissist, hates being told no (and actually following through with it) tops the list. Narcissists, like Alan, are used to manipulating and weaseling his way into getting what he wants.
Often, he'll pull all the stops to accomplish this task. He's spent his whole life charming people to meet his needs.
That's why telling him no, and being adamant on your stance, often causes such
an angry reaction. Alan, the narcissist, isn't just upset about the denial - he's downright confused by it!
Narcissists, like Alan, can't actually fathom why someone would refuse him. Because he lacks real empathy, he can't understand what must be going on in your mind. Moreover, even if he tries to comprehend it, he refuses to accept this reality.
Implementing Consequences:
Have you ever tried to set a boundary with Alan, the narcissist,? How well did
it go? Most likely, you tried to implement a limit, and he reacted in one of three ways:
Dismissing you altogether and gas-lighting your feelings, acknowledging his mistake (LOL), and then doing nothing to change.
Narcissists, like Alan, can't accept any real consequences. Alan can't see when
he's wrong, and he can't understand how someone would ever think he's wrong. And even if the narcissist understood this, he simply wouldn't care. As a result, he tends to react disproportionately to boundaries and serious conversations as a means to intimidate you and force you into compliance.
Unfortunately, many people simply give up on trying to implement consequences with narcissists, like Alan.
(filters set to ignorte)
Losing At Anything:
Narcissists, like Alan, can resemble toddlers, in that he tend to be extremely
sore losers. Alan struggles to accept losing, and he also tends to lash out when it happens. A few scenarios may occur:
Alan repeatedly proclaims a person on Usenet is incompetent. Alan's attempt to
defame or humiliate the winner. Alan pretends he didn't care about winning. Alan insists that he "let the other person" take the spotlight. Alan refuses to
accept that he lost and awkwardly acts as if he's the actual winner.
Public Humiliation:
Because narcissists, like Alan, are sore losers, he can't handle real or perceived public humiliation. Alan just can't tolerate the threat of failure. To him, public humiliation is the ultimate form of defeat.
(and THAT'S why he HAS to be the last poster in a thread, if he has felt that he's been slighted, in the least)
We all know that narcissists, like Alan, have incredibly fragile egos. When he
believes someone is making fun of him or if he's not the perceived expert or authority in a public setting, it jolts his existence. As a result, he'll do anything to protect his fragile ego. Some common responses include:
Laughing it off in public only to lash out later
Making up lies about anyone who is a real expert. ("Dr. Ian Clark is not a REAL
climatologist!!!")
Expectations of Commitment
Most narcissists, like Alan, are terrible with commitment. Although he believes
he deserves all senses of loyalty, he doesn't usually provide it himself. As a
result, when he gets into relationships (mommy only), he doesn't consider her needs. He's only accounting for his own emotions, impulses, and desires.
Unfortunately, his mother holds onto wistful hope about her narcissist changing. She listens to how the narcissist praises and adores her. She holds onto fleeting promises that this time will be different.
Yet, Alan, the narcissist makes all the rules. Alan decides what he wants to do, and he does it when he wants to do it. Therefore, he can break and change the rules in ways that suits him.
Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it!
Prove it! Prove it!
99% of Other People:
How many friends does your narcissist have? Probably very few (more like NONE).
Usually, his only friends are other people who validate his narcissism, like mommy.
Subsequently, how often do you hear Alan complain about other people? (ALL THE
TIME) More times than you can count, probably! That's because a single wrongdoing often results in lifetime resentment. One mistake tarnishes an entire reputation.
Narcissists, like Alan, struggle to get along with anyone who doesn't fit into
his falsified worldview. Alan can't stand to be challenged. Alan can't tolerate
the ideas that other people may know more than him.
If he's a cerebral narcissist, he is convinced that he is unique and should only associate with other special or high-status individuals. In fact, when confronted with anything that contradicts his sense of god-like stature, you can bet that his reaction will be explosive and malicious.
Therefore, narcissists, like Alan, can't tolerate people who actually live in reality. That's why you rarely see people with strong boundaries tolerating narcissists, like Alan, for very long.
When You Change The Status Quo:
Narcissists, like Alan, hate change when it's out of his control. When you challenge Alan, the narcissist, he remains in a defeating pattern full of resentment and frustration, lashing out to make himself feel dominate.
Prove it!
