The GOPe is predictable in its propensity for drawing the one hundred and eighty degree wrong conclusions from the results of any election. This has been obvious for quite some time. We’ve had a few days since this one, and it is clear that this time is no exception.
But there are always a few like McCarthy who get it.
Translating that understanding into practical politics is quite another matter, of course. It will be some time before we know how many have learned the appropriate lessons from the this recently-completed farce of a fake election.
Here's a couple appropriate lessons.
First, attempts to "unskew" the media bias out of polls was utterly ignorant and stupid. Conservatives who believed this nonsense were beyond gullible. Whichever side is whining about polls is losing.
Second, 3rd party's continue to fail utterly in this country. We are built around a 2 party, winner take all system with no opportunity for coalition government. Your 3rd party run for President predictably bombed spectacularly. Your apparent .02% of the vote (almost all in California) appears to be even less than Rocky Anderson of the Justice party managed to get.
There are a lot more appropriate lessons, but those are a good place to start.
