Don’t believe Trump — this midterm miss is all because of him
NY Post ^ | 11/14/2022 | Post Editorial Board

Posted on 11/14/2022 5:20:30 AM PST by thefactor

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.

I am so disgusted with all the talk.. it’s
dangerous. Please put all this in a proper zone so we can save this nation.

First let me explain Trump and what the left is doing...you are helping the enemy. They desperately need to separate Trump from his support. How easy will that be? It’s already started.

Donald J Trump. A man with a hi IQ. They think different. The gift that propels them is misunderstood by many. They think beyond.. they work ahead.. they have to remind themselves not everyone is there yet.

He is a business man and in past years he has built a fortune ..among NY elite, and some fought this brash young man. But he had the ability and used it to buy, sell and build an empire. He is used to being criticized for his abilities...he was on the move.

All the time he was advancing.. he helped anyone who needed it. He was a figure on his way.. it was natural to him to work hard and succeed.. there was no time to fail.. just pick up and keep on.

There were court battles.. he didn’t live worried or anxious.. he lived determined. He had the fighting him and it came in handy.

Trump had high expectations from men in the business world. He also had deep feelings of compassion for the people of less success. He ‘had much’ and gave much. His outgoing.. more than life..personality irritated some and enthused others.

His life was not about him.. it was about using the abundant abilities in his head for all the things it produced if ya just work hard..and long hours.

When in his 70s he left a comfy life.. it was to serve others. He had much, he loved this country and he was willing to serve. Always ahead of himself, the elite who thought they were the only ones allowed to be masters..did not like Trump’s fast moving know how and considered him brash. Yes, brash but comfortable with the people.. the secret to that is.. he cared.. he cares.

I stop here.. it’s lengthy.. but I will add.. wherever Trump goes.. leaders follow him.. they are drawn to this personality... they admire him.... Trump is not intimidated by anyone.. he is capable of dealing with the enemy and earn respect.

What you see and gripe about.. is what makes him our best asset in a world of power struggles all over. Trump knows.. he gets it.. and he is risking it all ...using his abilities to keep our Republic free and successful..
A Republic.. if you can keep it!

> Anyone who comes down on the side of the GOP establishment in Arizona isn't going to have any traction with me

I second the motion.

IMHO, most Federal and State GOP office holders have proven to be "All hat and no cattle", and they will turn on and/or attack their own constituents (i.e. Cornyn, Cheney) when forced into acting against the government organ they were elected oversee on behalf of said constituents.

Better have another cup of coffee and wake up a bit. It's from the right-leaning New York Post not the leftist New York Times.

Wrong. Since the Murdoch children took over the NY Post, it is no longer a "right-leaning" paper. With every succeeding issue, it is more and more dimmocommie leaning. The good ol' right-leaning NY Post is only a fond memory.

That is why Kemp won and Walker is going to lose. You cannot win without the middle and the middle is fed up with Trump.

Correct. The independents RAN AWAY from Trump. The breakdown of voters in the PA Senate race is eye-popping.

All while the enormously unpopular, incompetent President Joe Biden sits in the White House.

The election should have been about him. Instead, you made it about you. And since you made it all about you, you are the only one to blame.

The truth hurts.

I believe Mitch McConnell is the head honcho of the Senate’s Deep State so no sale on this. Looks to me like most members of Congre$$ are only interested in staying in Congre$$ as it appears to be a quick road to garnering much $$$$$ these days.

Anyone who doesn’t believe Trump played a role in this defeat has their head in the sand.

Yeah, let's throw a person who has been the only person to stand up to the GOPe, the Democrats, the media, and the Deep State and expose them all for being the frauds they are, then throw him under the bus because you have no clue as to what the heck you are talking about, and the loyalty of the GOPe to their nation and her citizens. Which is none at all.

You want to stand with a person who is in reality an unknown, be my guest, but you are not a very bright person.

For if you are willing to walk away from the person who started this movement in the first place, after he is attacked by the enemy, and yes, the GOPe is just as much of an enemy as are the Democrats. Neither love this nation, neither care about her citizens. Worse than that neither of them like freedom at all. They admire the control the CCP has over their citizens, especially after getting a taste of that much control they were able to exercise during the "plandemic".

They are the government that Benjamin Franklin was talking about, when he said if you can keep it. The two together conspire to win the elections to keep themselves safe to pillage & rape the citizens of this nation.

We know beyond the shadow of a doubt that Donald John Trump loves this nation. He had no reason to get involved in trying to save this nation. He had far more to lose than to gain by getting involved. Yet he did get involved because he was tired of seeing these people destroy this nation.

In return, people such as yourself pay that back with criticizing him for trying to do what is right because you do not have the brains to see what the heck is really going on here.

You think DeSantis is the savior, though we have no clue what his true motivations are. If they are sincere, then they will just do the same to him as they have Trump. If not, then he is not the savior you believe him to be. He becomes not only a liar, for he has stated many times that he will not run against Trump, which then exposes him as a fraud who is only trying to get on the inside of the power circle to enrich himself and his family.

No, you are indeed not a very bright person.

If we have are head in the sand, where do you think that makes your head buried in?

I refuse to listen to this TDS BS, especially about not picking the ‘right’ candidates. This election, those seats that were Democrat and vulnerable, were STOLEN. Slow walking counting, ‘finding’ missing ballots and the whole shebang.

THEY, Democrats ran an actual DEAD MAN for office (who won, BTW) and another oaf vegetable for Senator. They also ran trannies and other leftists who wouldn’t even debate their opponents. Leftist poll workers and government SoS pukes in California, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada STOLE it. Not because of Trump.

The Republicrats love that people believe it's a Democrat fraud machine. The Republicrats are 100% in on it.

I wonder why the Post is obsessed with Trump who they say lost 2020.

No. The Tower of Pisa might lean right, but the Post? No longer. It's been more and more obvious over the election weeks. They have been emphasizing anti-Trump articles, articles that embarrass Trump (or so they think), articles that leave a taint of disapproval about Trump-endorsed candidates, etc. The Times has been leftist trash for decades upon decades. It is absolutely banned in my home.

If Trump would have laid low until after the midterms, especially in light of the Dobbs decision, we might not be having this conversation. Yes, endorse your candidates and talk about THEM, but every endorsement he made about himself. Couple that with his own rallies and yes, he made himself a factor. And before I get accused of being a never Trumper I voted for him 3 times, did the rallies including road rallies, flew all the flags and signs and heaven knows gave more money than I had to his campaign.

You better have another cup of coffee and wake up a bit. I was responding to his statement: “So, posting an editorial from a major newspaper is now “spamming”. That “major” newspaper could also be the New York Times — he did not limit his statement.
