If the Dems wanted to steal FLA last Tuesday they could have easily.

That reasonably appears to be the case.

When younger, we were told that a WWIII would pose a serious existential threat our country. It would appear someone has figured out a better course of action and they are proceeding forthwith without opposition.

> The Dem fraud machine was told to let Ron win so he would look like the new power in the GOP?

Um no.

The reason there was as "Red Tsunami" in FL (Dems were blown out across the board, not just for Governors) is because DeSantis cleaned up the voting apparatus there, and we would have had the same result in the midterms if this was done nationwide.

Methinks Trump is jealous of DeSantis because of this, since the President has no unilateral control over elections, and Trump was outsmarted by Fauchi and the Democrats Governors who used COVID-19 to destroy his first term and institutionalize vote fraud via mail.

"You know who didn’t spend a lot of money? Donald Trump. Sitting on a war chest of $92 million, he spent just 22% of it on the midterms nationwide.

You know who never spent a penny on other candidates? OBAMA.

Actually the New York Post is, or was, a pretty good newspaper. The Washington Post is the one that is referred to as the Compost.

All Republicans had to do was nominate a normal, Pennsylvania resident for the Senate spot and they would have beat Fetterman.

I can tell you from here in PA that this is flat-out wrong.

The Pennsylvania GOP is a den of corruption and ineptitude. One big thing Oz had going for him is that he was an outsider with no connections to the state GOP organization. He was also the perfect GOP candidate in a state where Democrats have a 500,000 voter registration advantage over Republicans, and the typical swing voter is a suburban Karen dingbat with a lifetime supply of face masks and a teenage son who thinks he's a girl.

If anyone goes back and dissects the 2022 midterms in PA, I think Freepers would be shocked to find out how many people in this state voted for Trump in 2016/2020 and Fetterman in 2022.

The NYPost can stuff it (and yes, I’m baaack and had just about enough of the gaslighting by the MSM - and RNC - trying to demoralize Trumpsters)

In case it hasn’t been emphasized enough.....

the Elections weren’t a Trump problem. It remains a RNC leadership problem and they should be fired for giving us 0 for 3 by failing to counterattack the Dems spending $43million funding weak Rep candidates in primaries. Even so....

straight from ballotpedia:

Trump Endorsements2022
primary endorsements 241 won 93%
General election 254 won 80%

“Of the 176 contested primaries that took place before September 15, 2022, in which Trump endorsed (excluding five races in which candidates didn’t make the ballot), 159 Trump endorsees won and 17 lost. The endorsement success rate in that group of races was 90%.”

https://ballotpedia.org/Endorsements_by_Donald_Trump

Trump ROCKS, Democrats LIE like the dogs they are, and it’s time to start firing up the Trump Train 2024 !!

Oh, the weird FLA vote anomaly was the door prize given to the GOPe last Tuesday. It served two purposes, it set up the next patsy, Ian slayer Ron and to try and derail Trump's enthusiasm. Good plan. You have to hand it to them.

This has Hillary/B'Bastard written all over it.

> this midterm miss is all because of him <

What a goofy headline. So ballot harvesting, McConnell’s shifting of money, etc. played no part?

On the other hand, it’s just as wrong to say that Trump had nothing to do with it. We need a frank assessment of this election if we are to avoid a similar debacle in 2024.

Unfortunately, I don’t think that frank assessment will ever come. McConnell will return as GOP Senate leader. Trump will continue saying things that push away the middle. And ballot harvesting? Full speed ahead.

Absent another Ronald Reagan appearing, I suppose we’ll all soon learn what it’s like to live in a one-party dictatorship.

No, because yoiu are a ne’er do well troublemaker. There are other around here that don’t want Trump to run, but they don’t try to disrupt by making people forever opposed to each other by being downright nasty.

The earth keeps spinning, sun keeps rising so enjoy your
day and may each be blessed.

The pasted is history. Thus let that be a route to change
and move on. Define what needs to be done for the future.
Make the changes and move along little doggies. Or keep
dwelling in the past and let history repeat itself. jmo

DeSantis cleaned up the voting apparatus there

You can't clean up ballot harvesting. Garbage in - garbage out.

I wrote the following on Halloween

"Picking up 25 House seats and getting 51 in the Senate would be a dream come true."

I was always dubious of the Red Wave in 2022, but no one expected the absolute drubbing we took last week. Independent voters and single women RAN from our Party. 2024 will be more of the same if we keep Trump in power, IMHO.

Thank you for putting that out there. I had never thought of that. I had assumed someone was voting for them, but those that do probably have the mindset you describe. Those that vote for them, are probably selling them what they want, too.

It does well to explain the degeneration of the ghetto.

I can’t stand it when liberals and rinos lecture us on what we should have done, or what we should do. They think they are so smart, yet they never lecture the election cheaters.

"The Pennsylvania GOP is a den of corruption and ineptitude."

Who is at fault for this? Could it be PA Republican voters?

“So, posting an editorial from a major newspaper is now “spamming”:

In other words, an editorial from the utterly corrupt New York Times directs your thinking? I am not surprised.

It’s unlikely that the results of a thousand elections could have just one cause.

Also, “Trump” is both what Trump says and does, and that demon in the Democrats’ minds that can be invoked to get votes, so Trump would be an issue even if he had stayed at home and said nothing.

Trump could have done more. Same thing with McConnell, McCarthy, Scott, etc. Lindsey Graham didn’t help much either.
