Trump or REVOLUTION !
Thank you Ann Coulter
I have not been moved by the obvious blatant push poll like attacking. If enough people are dumb enough to raise their rumps for the smoke to be blown up em, well... time will tell.
I don’t blame him, but overall, it didn’t help.
He is not quite the force big fans think he is.
In some cases, it hurt. In others, it helped.
Helped with primaries, but many generals were hurt.
Yeah he’s the scapegoat but the cheating is the real culprit. Abortion put all these races within the cheat range.
Trump may have been a minor factor…especially since he did it just before the elections, which might have reminded some people that he existed and why they didn’t like him. And that he was threatening to run again. This possibly depressed Republican turnout in some places, since the press naturally made sure it was spread all over the place immediately.
But it wasn’t just that, and it wasn’t the abortion non-issue either, since the Dodds decision did nothing to limit abortion but merely left it up to the states (some of which now have even more liberal laws).
And as for our candidates…we may have had some not so great ones, but look at what the Dems were offering…and Dems voted for them anyway.
I noticed that all of the worst of the COvidian politicians - those imposing lockdowns, demanding masking and vaccine passports, etc. - won or were re-elected. I think what we are seeing is that the Dems like being locked down and controlled, and like having the state in their life at every moment and like making sure the rest of us do, too, because they love the state and it makes them feel safe.
And they love the feeling of power they get from making us submit.
I saw a few of them chirping away on Twitter that now their governor (Hochul, I think) could make sure that the children wore masks in school all day and that parents couldn’t refuse the vaccine…because it made them feel “safe” now.
We assume everybody wants freedom, but guess what - they don’t. It scares many people and what they voted for was mommy state to come and kiss their boo-boos and make them feel better.
Trump is absolutely not ‘at fault’ for any of this.
I wish he’d shut his yap more, though.
It is spin.
Beijing Mitch sabotoged the election in NH and AZ and AK, and probably others.
If we do not take the Senate, it is because of Mitch, and he is getting a free pass.
Neither Faux News nor the open-borders WSJ are citing conservatives. Phony premise.
not what graham proposed at all
Truthfully, it was the GOP’s message about how they would deal with inflation and all the other crisis going on. A plan.
It’s not enough to tell the American people we have a problem.
Americans are like little children. You need to tell them how we got here and what you will do to fix it and describe how much better life will improve in just a year after having been elected to fix the problems.
Nothing from the GOP. No specific plan.
Maybe they were too busy fighting each other to see the incoming from the DNC
So Trump lost 2022 even though he holds no office, the GOP is going to win back the House and has a good shot at the Senate?
It was the Taj Mahal of midterms
Abortion the democrats literally spent over 800 million dollars on abortion
Maybe, but the next GOP candidate is going to get the same treatment as Trump. Unless he is a wimp. In that case, it will even be worse.
Great analysis.
That is wrong about Ohio. Only Steve Chabot, republican lost in the Cincinnati district. All other races the incumbent held, regardless of party. The five rats are all from urban districts that are pretty blue, which includes the rat who beat Chabot. AFAIK Trump was a factor only in the Senate race.
If Oz had spoken calmly and clearly, I believe he would have won. The contrast between him and Lurch would have been too much to overcome.
However, instead he spoke rapidly in a high pitched voice trying to get out all of his talking points and sounded like a gerbil on crack.
So what could have been a decisive moment was a meh.
I will support Trump in 2024. We owe him bigtime. But looking forward he’d best stop attacking DeSantis.
That kiss my ring shtick is getting old. Show some humility, fer cryin out loud. He’s got half the country locked up - its time for him to try to get a few of the others on board.
