The NeverTrump folks are going to, just like they have anyrhinf they could they want him gone..

There is no doubt that his big ticket endorsed candidates largely underperformed.

However to say this loss was all Trump’s fault is stupid.

GOP did not press their advantage… their ground game was a joke.. etc etc…

No one person or thing is to blame, but the narrative will be it’s all Trumps fault

Reversing what Biden did is plan enough. Actions speak louder than words, and pigeonholing Americans is what liberals do.

“I think they are hoping he runs; they need to run against him to win - and they will if he does.”

Is that why they are conducting criminal probes that could prevent him from running again if convicted of a felony?

When liberals start pumping billions of dollars into Trump’s campaign coffers because they consider him the weakest candidate, get back with me.

There were two reasons that there was no red wave: Donald Trump and abortion. Whether the people here like it or not, those were the two reasons. If Donald Trump had ridden off into the sunset after the 2020 election and the Supreme Court had not completely overturned their abortion precedent, there would have been a red wave.

I'm in NY CD-3. It's covers Northern Nassau, Northern Suffolk and a slice of Queens. The Republican who ran in this district is unapologetically pro life. He was at the January 6th rally supporting Trump and refuses to apologize about that.

On Election Day he flipped this formerly blue seat red by 9 points.

The media, and the RINO politicians are gaslighting you. Abortion and Trump wasn't a negative issue here.

The establishment is back and you and others are falling for it.

1. Wait until making ANY conclusions about this election. The slow count process, combined with GOP tendencies to vote or hand-in their ballot on Election Day, is massively skewing perceptions.

2. Trump with his innuendo about dirt on DeSantis is being Bad Trump. Trump with his bragging about getting a million more votes than DeSantis is being Bad Trump. (It’s the midterms, after all.). Hey, Donald: eat a Big Mac, be happy, and let’s get Good Trump back!

3. We need to face reality, and understand that we have - MOST OF ALL - a significant fraction of our electorate that is evil and mentally ill. Fetterman, the “abortion until & after birth” referendums, the voting for the party that’s brought such crime and economic destruction - THAT is the biggest problem. It’s spiritual, and I have no good answers.

I know I am not the first to add a third, nor will I be the last: rampant cheating.

Did President Trump talk about higher expectations? Yes, and I would expect that of a leader. We need someone who aims high and misses rather than someone who settles for the crumbs. President Trump's success rate with endorsed candidates was very high.

We got the promised "red wave" by just taking control of the House with a chance of taking the senate too. It may not match historical precedent but it is a takeover of that snakepit congress that we currently have.

The LSM is trying mightily to minimize that loss by being absolutely silent on that victory while personally attacking Trump for not getting everything.

The rinos and nevertrumping right see this as a way to kill Trump's chances at a presidential run.

The board's anti/never trumping faction, is pushing filling the board with tds post, and making it hard to read or get real information

And if they had their way, any pro Trump thread would hardly have any post, while the con threads would be filled with propaganda to impose group think on posters do sway them against Trump.

And, of course, there's been no comments from the RNC about investigating lots of potential election fraud, even though people like oz, tudor, etc, lost....

"Nothing from the GOP. No specific plan."

The Republicans hinted at a plan: less government spending, i.e. fewer freebies for the gimmedats.

The Republicans don't dare tell the voters what they don't want to hear. It would have been like Babbitt when he ran for president promising to raise taxes.

I don’t want a Europeanized America. Independent voters want it. They think they can have lots of social programs that are paid out of high taxes. They want to live well on the future of your children.

I get the impression the public is exhausted from the last few years and they’d rather have a mentally ill, depraved freak who is calm than more of Trump’s style even is he does great work. If Trump could reinvent himself as some peaceful personality that may work but it’s not going to happen.

Biden had everything laid out to make this election about Trump instead of about him, and Trump ran straight into the trap

The election wasn't about Trump, and you've run straight into the establishment's trap.

SCOTUS Roe decision.
Very ill-timed.
100% responsible for failure of red wave.
Savage was right back in June, and again now.
