In August, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told NBC News he was confident Republicans could take the House. As for the Senate . . . “Senate races are just different,” he said. “They’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.”
He was absolutely right, of course. Candidate quality gave Democrats control of the Senate again, and forced a runoff in Georgia.
In Arizona, for one, McConnell had wanted popular Gov. Doug Ducey to run. But ex-President Donald Trump had slandered Ducey, vowing to oppose him every step of the way because he had refused to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election. So the GOP got Blake Masters, who just lost to Democrat Mark Kelly.
And Trump blames . . . Mitch McConnell.

People that live in ghettos WANT TO LIVE IN GHETTOS. It costs nothing to clean up a neighborhood. Just time and elbow grease. Paint is really cheap too. Supporting police is not that hard. “Snitches get stitches” is a real thing. Excelling at school is acting white. DON’T EVER FEEL SORRY FOR THESE PEOPLE. That’s playing their game.
Anyone who comes down on the side of the GOP establishment in Arizona isn't going to have any traction with me. How many Freepers remember this progression of idiocy in that state?
1. Notorious RINO Jeff Flake announces that he won't run for re-election in 2018.
2. September 2018 ... Establishment hack John Kyl is named as interim U.S. Senator to replace the rancid carcass of John McCain in September 2018.
3. November 2018 ... Establishment hack Martha McSally loses to Kyrsten Sinema in the 2018 election.
4. December 2018 ... Kyl resigns from his interim post, effective December 31st.
5. January 2019 ... AZ Gov. Doug Ducey announces that Kyl's replacement as interim U.S. Senator is -- get this -- Martha McSally.
6. November 2020 ... Martha McSally loses to Democrat Mark Kelly in the special election to fill out the remainder of McCain's term until 2022. This gives McSally the ignominious distinction of losing two consecutive U.S. Senate elections in Arizona -- with the SECOND one as an appointed incumbent after she lost the FIRST one.
That wasn’t his point. He said my post was spam. Simply posting an article from a major paper is not “spamming.” It just means he disagrees with it, and anything he disagrees with should be deleted. If you agree with him on that, then I don’t know what to tell you.
I don’t really get the logic of his assertion: It’s certain aspects are not McConnell therefore it must ALL be Trump?
Why can’t it ALSO be McConnells fault? Who said blame has to be unique to one person?
The most egregious part of this article:And your reason for posting the article.
A statement like that isn't opinion it's bile.
Nice try though.
The most conservative people I know in PA aren’t even Republicans ... they are unaffiliated independents.
Are you disputing the fact that the donation split was 99%-1%?
As I understand it, DeSantis and the FL legislature outlawed 3rd party ballot harvesting with an exception for a limited number of immediate family members, undoing the previous law put in place by Jeb!™.
Only one was a carpetbagging Turkish Muslim.
No, definitely not all because of Trump, but who can say he had an overall positive effect on the mid-term elections?
They do it because they can and they can because the effin RINOs want THEIR party back under THEIR control. Screw the rank and file and what they want.
It all started when VA 7th gave Cantor the boot.
Republicans and their affiliates are going to vote for the Republican nominee. Same with the Dems and their affiliates. The trick is to attract the true independent voters, which any Trump-endorsed candidate will have trouble doing.

I am going to go the distance!!! This is my country and weak kneed people are not helping..
I won’t say my age... but older than most of you all.
My father served in WWII in France.
My husband served 4 years Army
My brother served 4 years Army
I am a fighter and cannot stand to see our country fall to the least of all the inhabitants of this land.. it doesn’t have to be that way!
I ask this question.. IF we had put our choice for President in the seat of power.. If we had just walked him in .. If we had announced we had won and held the ceremony and the coronation of our person as President... would it have succeeded? Would the media...the left.. the dems... have said well ok if you insist.???
Dont tell me there is no proof of cheating... there is unless you live in the world of deny and want it the way it is.. I could go over the list of proof and it would not matter to you who don’t want to believe it. One thing I will add is the laptop. All in the know, know what is in that laptop and it’s enough to sink a family...that’s why it was kept hidden.
When in a lifetime.. has the United States of America had the government turn on the people... when in a lifetime has a man who was doing a great job, been hit on with such force that the whole of the government has come down on him.. went to his home and ransacked it on all floors and in every room...
When has there been a time when I have such a loathing for the government ... and the reason is they have lost their minds.. they are going after us.. citizens.. and propping up the corrupt and the corruption. I never would have believed it possible in the land of the free!
All this has come to light with the election of President Trump. He came in as a ray of light and evil does not like light! They rebelled as never before... they joined forces and sent every weapon they had at Trump. He kept working and he kept fixing this nation..
You who hate him... to get real serious... give me your reasons and where did you get them!! Do you know when you hear things.. whether you are “listening” or not.. your brain hears it and it’s in your head. that is where you get these ideas that don’t hold water and don’t make sense. But where did you get your hate for Trump? Compared to saving a nation... what took precedent in your minds to just hate the man.
I have much more to say...but this is lengthy. when you all have lived 100 years... when you have lived even 80 years.. what will life have taught you on right and wrong. good and evil!?
The unfairness the government is handing out... is communism.
Do you know what communism is? better find out ...
I don’t like stupidity. I don’t like to see people accept what others say without asking is it right or is it not.. does it help or does it harm.
I am going to add my opinion on Trump.. in a few....
the Post is owned by Ruppert Murdoch (ie Fox)... they’re done with Trump. So are enough Americans that would prevent him from winning a General Election. I would like to see your sources on those Trump endorsed and won. I am not surprised.
The GOP did very well at the State House level, which was where the red wave actually occurred because there was no ties to National canddates. In two years, we will do much better in the Senate.
Don’t kid yourself.... Trump can’t win a General Election. The Dems know this now too... Trump’s endorsed candidates were likely to win with or without his endorsement... Trump takes a lot safe bets too... If the Dems back off their witch hunt against Trump, then you can be sure they know the damage he’s doing to the GOP. House and Senate control is based upon winning the day in the races that are tight... there were some races that if the GOP candidate was perceived to be in the Trump camp, it cost them votes. Trump doesn’t help us in the close races.
UGH. The NY Post used to be worth reading. The Murdoch children, libtards that they are, have steered it the same dimmocommie supportive course that the NY Daily News long assumed. Oh well, there are lots of cats and birds out there that need litter box and cage liners. I see a large increase in anti-Trump comments to articles as well. Gotta wonder how many of the pro-Trump ones were withheld.
Whoa! Where am I? Is this Democratic Union? I thought I was at Free Republic?
