Scott Walker Legacy now  will be erased . Stupid stupid Trumpists for not voting for the other Republican who could have had a better chance of winning this race and preserving this great legacy

Am argument can be made that Wisconsin voters decided what they thought of Walker and his legacy in 2018.

While I don't think pro-life laws are a lost cause long term (or even short term in the South), it's clear that the midterm/off year electorate is reacting to Dobbs as if Republicans controlled the federal government and just passed major controversial right wing legislation, despite the president and congress at the time being Democratic.

This is an underrated and brilliant post. Voters like the party out of power, only when they're not *doing anything controversial*. Usually when you are out of power, your political capital is limited, and you can't pull this kind of nonsense. Same reason the GOP faced blowback during the Clinton impeachment.

Yep. The right-wing SCOTUS is in a weird position right now where attempts to seriously challenge its own authority keep backfiring but its real and perceived overreaches are millstones around the necks of its allies in the elected branches--including many state judiciaries, as we're seeing!

Scott Walker's legacy is gonna be wiped out now ugh.

Best possible timeline

That would have been Romney winning in 2012

You opinions are usually the things I say as jokes, but this may be true. Democrats keeping the senate in 2014? Maybe even expand their majority? Democrats likely winning back the house? All this allowing whatever democrat wallops him in 2016 a comfortable majorities in both chambers to pass a “radical socialist agenda”. Sounds pretty alright to me.

The Democrats arent keeping the Senate in 2014 and given that Romney was tailor made for the 2010s GOP house map, the Dems arent winning the House either. Given that Hillary would still be dodged by the email investigation, Romney likely comfortably beats her for reelection too.

2018 yeah Democrats probably do take back both houses but the GOP may have a chance of holding the WH in 2020 depending how Romney handled COVID and getting a historic third term.

Huh?
