Former president Donald Trump lost the 2020 election largely due to his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a post-election autopsy completed by Trump campaign pollster Tony Fabrizio.
The 27-page document shows that voters in 10 key states rated the pandemic as their top voting issue, and President Biden won higher marks on the topic. The report also indicates that Trump lost ground among key demographic groups he needed.

(1)First and foremost the negative reporting on his attempts to deal with the virus by the MSM, otherwise know as the Ministry of Democrat Propaganda? Nothing he did was right or efficacious. He never even received kudos due for the accelerated virus vaccine.
(2)Nancy's withholding of any relief package. Yes, it was cruel and heartless, but it paid in political dividends as she herself hinted at later.
no clicks for commies
They have to keep shoveling all kinds of reasons why he lost DEMS CHEATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s the reason....
Australia’s Rush Limbaugh - Alan Jones - has just returned to Sky following his Christmas vacation. You will like this:
VIDEO: 11min: 1 Feb: Sky News Australia: Alan Jones: Argument about US voter fraud is ‘not a conspiracy’
“According to the American electoral system, for all its imperfections, Joe Biden is the president of the United States and the leader of the free world,” Mr Jones said.
“In America, voting takes place under 50 different state systems … in the recent American election, absentee voting was expanded to 118 million voters in 34 states ad mail-in ballots were sent to all 44 million voters in nine States.”
Mr Jones noted Donald Trump “tweeted long and loud about the potential for voter fraud”.
“It is hard to believe that the voter fraud allegations will go away,” (Jones) said.

IMHO, the sackcloth and ashes routine is unwarranted. Trump will get to finish the job that Bannon got him to start - fire all the GOP incumbents opposed to the Trump agenda during the primary process. He’ll then have people who owe him when he returns to the White House in 2024.
You may think this is far-fetched and whistling past the graveyard. But there are solid historical reasons for optimism. Let’s assume the Democrats’ basic premise is true, i.e. that Trump lost fair and square. Trump’s loss wasn’t terrible - a couple of hundred thousand votes short in the swing states that decide the White House race. This is in the face of two outlier events - a mass casualty pandemic and the resultant economic depression representing the worst downturn since the Great Depression.
The Democrats expected a complete sweep of the states, both at the White House and Congressional levels. FDR got a 413 electoral vote victory margin. Biden’s was 74. The 1932 House elections gave the Democrats a 196-seat margin, vs the ~12-seat margin they got in 2020. The 1932 Senate elections moved the Democrats to a 22-seat margin, vs the 1-seat margin (thanks to the VP tie breaker vote) they just got after the 2021 GA runoffs. This was a blue wave a toddler could safely paddle in, not a tsunami.
If you accept the Democratic premise that Trump lost by 7m votes, that’s a Biden popular vote margin of 4%. FDR’s victory margin over Hoover? 28%.
That’s why they’re trying to prevent Trump from running again. He’s no Herbert Hoover, whose political career was over the day the results came in. The Dems aren’t afraid Trump will get the 2024 GOP nomination and lose in the general. They’re worried that one hiccup or other before 2024 will send Trump back to the White House with commanding GOP majorities, but this time cleansed of the never-Trumpers who gave him so much trouble in his first term.
If Trump intends to run again, the interval from now until presidential season should* involve the installation of Republicans who support the Trump agenda in the midterms, and the removal of those who don’t. Bannon’s quest to populate elected offices with Trump supporters needs to resume, so that when Trump re-enters the White House, his agenda is ready to go from Day 1.

You could also compare the numbers to those from the Spanish Flu election of 1920. Something similar happened, except this time, the incumbent Democrats lost big, with the GOP getting a 2/3 majority in the House. They would probably have gotten the same thing in the Senate, if every seat was up for grabs, rather than just 1/3. Point being that the pollsters were presumably modeling their blue wave poll results on 1920 and 1932, which were disastrous for the incumbents and resulted in ~300 and up electoral vote victory margins (i.e. winner - loser EV’s). Now that was a mandate. Whereas Biden had a ~70 EV margin, based on 1-2% popular vote margins in the swing states being litigated over. He’s skating on very thin ice.
* The big question is obviously whether Trump will run. Given what we’ve seen of Trump’s decision-making process, maybe he himself doesn’t know the answer.
The thing about such a comeback is that it’s so rare, it would be another superlative to add to his record - a real feather in his cap. Health permitting, I don’t see him not running. Fred Trump only began displaying signs of dementia at age 86, dying at age 93, so it would not surprise me if the Donald were physically up to the challenges of another term in the White House.
Fraud. Democrat Party vote rigging.
The Kung Flu had months of constant fear mongering by the Leftwing press and Democrats ... even the frigging Pope got in on the action ... not the Administration handling it poorly. Not to mention backstabbing Quislings in the RNC.
No one could have countered what Trump endured.
Why did Trump fall out with Bannon in 2017?
TDS Cost the WP their minds
No, WaPo, we know what really happened in the 2020 election and Trump’s response to the rona wasn’t how he “lost” it. Spin all you want. You’re only spinning yourselves.
The thing we are literally not allowed to say.
Robwin, do you truly accept the narrative that Trump lost in a non-fraudulent election?
“No one could have countered what Trump endured.”
Are you of the belief that Trump lost in a non-fraudulent election?
Uh, Trump didnt lose.
The only “autopsy” should be on the bodies of the people killed to keep their mouths shut after they phonied ballots or twiddled bits in the early morning hours of November 4th.
BS.
Fraudulent votes and corrupt politicians did.
President Trump was on top of this as immediately as humanly possible.
No clicks for lies.
FRAUD
He didn’t handle the virus badly at all. The federal government has no say in how states handle it.
I’ve talked with plenty of liberals, who basically think that Trump should have declared martial law and force people to wear masks. When I mention that doing that is taking the position that Trump should have put troops in the streets to shoot people dead if they don’t wear masks. Then they tell me that they would have only wanted FEMA there.
How does FEMA force people to wear masks, if there are no National Guard in the streets to shoot them for non-compliance?
Liberals don’t have an answer to that question. They think that circles are squares are circles, that Trump can declare martial law but not put troops in the streets.
Liberals are insane.
No. There was a stolen election. That too would be part of what he had to endure.
