Blue.
The Schloss-Blog is seeing blue everywhere it looks.
Arizona ... blue.
Texas ... blue.
Georgia ... blue.
Ohio ... blue
Iowa ... is BLUE
Kansas ... is a shade of blue
Eveywhere, it was 50 Shades of ... blue.
A rebuked Trump claimed that if he were on the ballot, Republicans would've won in a landslide.
So, guess that means we're not going to be receiving $5,000 checks,
Anyway, can't wait for 2028, when he tries to run for a third term in what will be his vindictive attempt at striking back at America for this complete and total rebuke of ...
**His promise to not get into another endless war
**His promise to not start one, which is still ongoing, with Iran
**His tariffs, that have raised the price of eveything transported by gas
**His causing Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz, driving up the price of diesel, which farmers in Iowa and Kansas said was a price too high for their equipment
**His policies, which have caused inflation, inflation and inflation ...
**...in other words, the economy.

Hard to figure Trump's thinking during the campaign and since the election.
He hasn't run around screaming about rigged elections in the wake of the Democratic sweep. But he is talking about it, claiming that it is so extensive as to be blatant, yet so discreet as to be undetectable.
Huh?
Despite all the undertoned yapping, Democrats won a minimum of a 51-seat majority in the House and at least a 6- and perhaps an 8- or 9-seat majority in the Senate.
Of course, all this was after Republican attempts to gerrymander their way to wins by adding so many seats in Red States and attempts at restricting Democratic votes in so many states.
Epic fails.
EPIC.

Democrats are insisting that they will not be headhunting with impeachment in mind as soon as they are seated in January. Republican-driven rumors are circulating already that unpopular Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will be first, amid all the shake-ups in the staff Trump is already enacting at the White House.
What Democrats truly need to do is pass legislation addressing
**Cost of living;
**Trump's tarifffs and impact thereof;
**And to mandate an end of the war in Iran.
Republicans who don't vote along with those will be exposed for what they are: legislators who support Trump's inflation-spiking policies that drove up the price of everything.
And after that, it puts Trump in a no-win pickle: he can sign it all, which would be his admission of making a mistake in starting the war with Iran, or he can veto it all and remind the American people that he is the reason inflation remains so stubbornly high.
It also sets up a 2028 presidential election with Trump's legacy on the line as the clever businessman who stole two presidential elections or the engineer of six business bankrupticies who kept his family in riches while Americans struggled paycheck to paycheck.
Trump is still blaming it all on Biden.

There was other news, like Russell Brand being convicted of rape, LIV Golf folding the tent, Cristiano Ronaldo's retirement from international soccer and bomb threats canceling flights across Europe.
But after these midterm results, did anybody notice?
More on all that in next week's Schloss-Blog, plus Republican finger-pointing over the blame for the midterms.
