Lankford: "You can think about where we would be right now based on where Joe Biden was leading us if Kamala Harris would've won and we have had a Democratic House and Senate ... completely different future based on the last election."

"woulda, shoulda, coulda" But in reality, despite the abject horror of today, more people are acutely aware of the real reasons behind their diminishing material conditions and more passionate about taking back a future for the people. Without Trump's accelerationism, we might not see the same.

Let’s see. We would all be happier, healthier, better off financially, not in a stupid war, still helping Ukraine. A lot of people wouldn’t be dead. And with any luck Trump would be in prison. Did I miss anything?

Indeed. Prices were coming down, interests rates were dropping, employment was increasing. Even the WSJ said that Trump inherited a booming economy and it was his to ruin. Trump and his cabinet of misfits ruined it, maybe on purpose.

Lankford, in a deposition some years back(2010?) involving a lawsuit against his church said he believed 13 yr old children could consent to having sex. It explained to me how the GOP freely embraced trump.

Hmmm. No wars of choice (trade or "kinetic"). Supporting and partnering with our allies (rather than alienating and devastating them). Common decency for all (as opposed to doing everything possible to "own the libs" in the ugliest of ways). Billions less in corruption and graft/grift.

How can two people be so wrong? The rest of us mourn the fact that Kamala Harris didn't win... yeah, it would've been different. We not be in a war, inflation wouldn't be emptying our pockets, we wouldn't have a corrupt grifter in charge, & we would be respected amongst our allies.

Given that Trump never has a plan (this has to do with his severe learning disability), makes stuff up on the fly and then has to walk back much of it back (TACO), the comment about Harris' plan is rich.

Sen. Langford, I’ll do you one better and think back to 2016 if Hillary had won… What a better Covid response we would have had! And we would still have NATO allies, global alliances, no Medicare cuts, a more robust ACA, no tariffs, no Big Horrible Bill… a release of the Epstein files… etc.

The trajectory we were on: - Inflation dropping, getting all the way down to 2.9% by the end of 2024 - Not stuck in a war in the middle east - Gas about $3.30 per gallon. Diesel $3.76. - Stock market growing at a record pace

The trajectory we are now on: - Inflation rebounding up to 3.7%, higher than at any time in 2024 - Stuck in another war in the middle east - Gas at $4.33. Diesel $6.30. - Stock market growth slowing in 2026 after already slowing down in 2025. - Unemployment rising steadily.

Yes we are in a completely different future due to the last election. A future that is significantly worse. So yes you are making a point Jim. Just not the one you're trying to.

The gaslighting is exhausting. You won. You control everything. Stop telling us to fear an imaginary Harris presidency and start explaining the one we actually have.

Same person who worked with dems on immigration that Trump told them to vote against...he was thrown under the bus by the rep. The bill was quite harsh and gave Rep much of what they said they wanted. Crazy to think Dems would have all branches, but "imagine" the people who would be alive.

I can see where we would be right now. No 7 dollar diesel, no Iran war, Ukraine would have won by now, all my utilities would be cheaper, and the White House wouldn’t be an ugly ass POS, with a Liberace inspired Oval Office. Plus ICE wouldn’t be murdering U.S. citizens in the streets.

Yes I can and that is why I voted for them. This ride that’s headed to the bottom needs the electric chord of corruption pulled out of the ass of an orange pedo felon before we all crash & burn! Game over you lying foul bastards! Start a new party for yourselves. Isn’t that what you always wanted?

Ukraine and the EU would have peace treaties with Putin right now. Iran would still be abiding by the JCPOA and the strait of Hormuz would be open The bipartisan immigration plan would be known to everyone. The Maralago mob boss and big tech would be attacking 🇺🇸 with millions of bots, MAGA cults.

We’d be in a hell of a lot better of a position had the election gone toward people who knew what they were doing. However, the people chose a lying, child raping insurrectionist instead.

We would have actually had a future if you imbeciles hadn't decided to neuter yourselves and follow the lead of your Orange Fuhrer! It will take a decade to rebuild our federal government and reestablish our Constitutional checks and balances. Impeachment and due process for all your law breakers!

In response to Lankford's generalities about being in a different place without a single fucking detail about how GOPedophile policies are better, she says "Yeah, Kamala Harris never gave any details about those things. [She did.]" BTW, Lankford, who tanked your immigration bill?

No war no tariffs more affordable food and electricity Ukrainians would be safer. Possible lower medical costs. Less deaths due to measles. I’m trying to find the up side of Trump because I got this all for no reduction in my taxes

Instead of creating imaginary worlds we should be scared of, why not address the shitty one your leadership has dumped the world in and refused to deal with the consequeses of doing so? What tripe.

Yes, we could be BUILDING BACK BETTER for the American people. Better jobs with better pay, health care. New infrastructure. Instead we've got corruption, destruction, and inflation.

Lankford is a smart, thoughtful guy (for a Republican) so he knows better than this - we would obviously be much better off without the tariffs and the Iran war, neither of which Harris would have done.

And there would be no Iran War. There would be no tariffs. ICE wouldn't be killing American citizens. We would be supporting Ukraine and help it defeat Putin. That would be a much better world.

Joe Biden left with the strongest economy in the world and an inflation rate lower than today. These people are childish, lying fuckwads.

Yes. I would have opened a small business with Kamala’s $25,000 small business tax deduction. We wouldn’t be at war. Gas would be cheap. My property would retain value. My neighbors would be safe. I wouldn’t be paying for tariffs. Russia would remain sanctioned. Our allies would be intact.

Being this moronic/disinformative is hard work folks. All while keeping a straight face. Wow! Give them credit for that. But only for that...

Let’s see. 2.6% inflation. More infrastructure projects, no war with Iran, fewer farm bankruptcies, more people with health insurance, fewer rural hospital closures, no for-profit concentration camps and on and on and on. I think about it all the f’g time Lankford you DB.

Don't flog a dead horse; we are very aware of where we would be if Kamala won the election. We wouldn't be in bed with Putin and Netanyahu, aiding and abetting genocide. Bonus: The world would still respect us rather than laughing at and abandoning us.

He's right, but not like he thinks he is. Consumer costs would have dropped. Her federal housing assistance program in-development. We'd still have USAID Radio Free America, and PBS. We'd also have the Epstein Files. Too bad Lankford would rather live in fear of a dying dotard.

Yes, inflation would be down. We would not be in trade wars. We would not be in an endless war in the Middle East that is spiraling out of control. We would not have gunned down American citizens on the streets of this country. There are lots of things that would be different.

Well for starters America would not have killed 200+ innocent Venezuelans Would not be in a useless war And maybe just maybe Would not have had ICE shoot a mother in the face and a nurse in the back. For starters

The East Wing would still be there and the reflecting pool would still reflect. Elon might not have stolen all your data and Trump…he’d be whining and grifting and chummy with Putin but without the ability to allow Russia to slaughter Ukrainians. And Iranians

When he says “what tax policy would look like” under democrats, he means there wouldn’t have been a transfer of billions of dollars from the 90% to the 10%.

That woman interviewing Lankford sold her soul for ambition. Doesn’t she know trump is a white supremacist?

I wouldn’t have to wake up every morning and grab my phone to see what evil bullshit the president and his cronies did now. That’d be awesome.

Exactly, not a grifting authoritarian government catering to the rich, but one that is inclusive and looking out for the little guy.

"Lankford: "You can think about where we would be right now based on where Joe Biden was leading us if Kamala Harris would've won and we have had a Democratic House and Senate ... completely different future based on the last election." Oh James. Go back to your ministry & do some reflection.

Inflation and other costs would be ⬇️ Jobs and wages would be ⬆️ We would be at ☮️✌️ w/ Iran Dozens of soldiers would be alive & 100s more would be uninjured. We’d be 💯 supporting Ukraine against Russia 🇷🇺 aggression. I’d sure take that over what Trump has done to America 🇺🇸.
