FEB. 24, 2026 | We are beginning to realize how big, no, how huge! the midterm elections later this year could be.
It could bring down this national madness that has developed in the second Trump Administration. It could turn our nation around.
What it’ll take is for enough people across the county to be outraged by the continued tearing down of our national heritage, and vote enough Trumpers in the Senate and House out of office. It must be so complete an outrage by the voters that they will take away control of both the Senate and the House from the do-nothing Republicans who have held our nation back in not opposing Donald Trump in the many ways he is harming our nation.
There is some hope that has been seen in almost every vote in special elections for Congress since the last national election. Most of these elections have seen Republicans in hot water. Voters in state after state in special elections surprisingly voted much heavier for Democrats in areas where Trump won by big margins in the presidential election. Will this be a tell-tale sign for the midterms?
If so, as Congress convenes in 2027, what will be the first order of business should Democrats control both houses of Congress? After such a victory, the Democrats in the House of Representatives should bring an impeachment bill immediately to the congressional floor, and quickly pass it. Then it would be the Senate’s time to hold a trial, vote Donald Trump out of office and bring our nation back to sanity.
If that happens, by mid-summer 2027, our nation might be done with Donald Trump and all his many ways he is harming our country. It could go quickly.
Of course, can’t you see the huffing and puffing that Donald Trump would make of it, perhaps even saying “You can’t throw me out! I am king.” The Constitution doesn’t work that way.
Or perhaps it could end faster. Seeing the writing on the wall, perhaps Donald Trump would take the Richard Nixon route, and resign.
Either way, he would probably still be filled with braggadocio and rant and rave from the sidelines. And the vast MAGA followers would be a thorn in our nation’s side, decrying that we have hurt our nation by eliminating Trump from office. We need to be kind to these red caps, but not let them hold our nation back.
Then the hard work will begin, returning our nation to sanity and reasonableness, re-writing our nation’s laws and regulations to what they were before Trump, instilling confidence in our nation, and seeking to restore normal relations with the other nations of the world. These will be big jobs. It will also cost an enormous amount just to remove the Trump name where it is emblazoned.
Hopefully, one of the first changes will be to return to sending out weather balloons to make climate predictions more useful.
It will take diligence and years to return our nation to normal.
These upcoming midterm elections may be far more important in our history than ever before! We wait anxiously for our nation to find a way to right itself.
