The GOP establishment is blaming Trump for Tuesday's electoral losses instead of itself. Did they plan it this way?
From the day Donald Trump became a force to reckon with in the GOP, the D.C establishment has relentlessly worked to ruin Trump politically.
In 2017, the Democrats concocted and amplified the Trump-Russia collusion hoax that caused the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. Following an almost two-year probe. Mueller's team conducted raids on Trump allies and his lawyer. At every point during the probe, the media claimed the walls were closing in on Trump and that he would be compelled to resign in shame.
When the Trump-Russia collusion hoax failed, they impeached Trump, baselessly claiming that he was soliciting foreign interference in U.S. elections during a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
When they were not fabricating hoaxes, they engaged in other baseless claims. On some days they claimed Trump was a sinister dictator, on others he was a criminal genius. On all days, they called Trump imbecilic and bigoted.
All through these scandalous violations and phony charges, the GOP leadership were spectators when they should have been fighters. When the powerful become spectators in response to baseless attacks on any ally, it means they are supporting the attackers..
SNIP
In other words, the misdeeds of the establishment would be exposed and Trump would see a resurgence.
Did anybody really think this midterm win was going to be easy?
There were many things that went wrong.
The GOP, and surprisingly, the media, pushed the narrative of the red wave, which probably sowed seeds of complacency among GOP voters, causing them to remain home, presuming a victory was inevitable.

I think many in the GOP establishment are really assistant democRATs.
They aren’t assistants they ARE Rats!
Short answer, yes.
Trump? The whole Free Republic!
The 2022 election was DemoFraud 2.0, as augmented by the desperate GOPe. 2024 will be more of the same. The Uniparty will rule forever in the former USA.
It’s opportunism.
Anything is used against Trump.
It’s not just Trump, it’s Maga and it was Tea Party before.
Joe Kent beat the establishment hack Jamie Herrera Beutler fair and square in the primary race. The establishment did not support Kent, and gave him no money for the campaign.
You see, they always demand that conservatives vote for the RINO establishment candidate but they NEVER return the courtesy. They need us to win elections for their RINO candidate and expect us to ALWAYS dutifully pull the lever for them no matter how repulsive they are. This has to end or the Rats will totally to destroy America. I think it is already too late.
Democrats play chess, while republicans play checkers.
Here’s one republicans may not have thought of.
Democrats have ‘managed’ to retain the senate, and they were going to do so one way or another.
Democrats are also trying, and may succeed. to retain the house.
In governors’ races, they (democrats) didn’t do so badly either. But, they managed to do what they have been trying to do for close to 7 years against Trump. Well, they haven’t done it yet, but, it’s in their plans.
Democrats have been trying to get rid of Trump in many ways, with some of the ways highly illegal, but, they’ve escaped being held accountable.
Florida is (or might be) part of their plans.
In Florida, DeSantis won by a landslide, and people are rejoicing, and perhaps nobody is celebrating more than democrats. They now have the man who they hope/expect to keep Trump from the presidency. No better way to elevate DeSantis than to have him win BIG. Democrats have their man. DeSantis is their ultimate ‘get Trump’ card. They may succeed in fulfilling their destroy Trump dreams. They could not get him any other way, so now, they have what they hope the only weapon that can get rid of Trump. DeSantis was expected to win Florida, but not so BIG, and the BIG win may have been part of the democrats’ plan. Everybody is now looking for DeSantis to go against Trump, and nobody could be happier than the democrats, especially Schumer and Pelosi and Schiff and Nadler and Liz Cheney, and the FBI agents who worked so hard to eliminate Trump from the presidency and as a candidate and from politics altogether.
Desantis is the “bait and switch” candidate. That is the plan. The Dems think they can beat him outright, but failing that, he is Ivy league material that they know they will shape into a good little globalist.
Exactly! It was the Tea Party, before. People so desperate to “win” that they lose every time.
MAGA needs to stick to its guns.
Desantis has been brilliant.
Trump a Mean Man Child who got whining about his Victimhood and trashing fellow
Republicans he considers a threat while sticking us with ridiculous DR OZ a carpet bagger and Dumb A$$ Rhonda Romney a clueless clown who has been out fund-raised and strategized since 2018 .
Trump unpresidential carrying on and verbal diarrhea have finished him .
We are moving on and don't need his baggage.
Desantis is closet establishment. Show a video where he even says "MAGA". He has not earned my trust at all.
You need to get out more. Go visit some liberal forums.
The Left absolutely does not fear Trump. They see him as a sure loser. The chatter now is that maybe Garland should hold off with indictments as to not put anything blocking his ability to declare his candidacy. They want Trump on the top of the ticket because they correctly believe he has no chance.
What they fear most is that Trump bows out and someone like DeSantis or Youngkin steps up. Someone a bit "Trumpy" but without Trump's baggage and who isn't toxic to independent voters.
Ding! Winner! This isn't about Trump. It's about seizing the entire country and turning it into one party rule to maintain their power and control our lives.
I've had the same tagline below since the 2000 elections. I've never seen a reason to change it, all I've ever seen in the past 22 years now is an increasing number of reasons to keep it.
Question: When do we finally take our country back? The ballot box no longer works. When do the tens of millions of us that never voted for any of this shit finally go to DC and show them all the door?
David Frum, Chuck Todd, the WaPo, CNN, Maggie Haberman, Bill Maher, the Never Trumpers, Karl Rove and Piers Morgan are fond of DeSantis. Fox News and the New York Post also have moved on to DeSantis
“””The GOP establishment is blaming Trump for Tuesday’s electoral losses instead of itself. Did they plan it this way?

His opening two sentences pretty well sums up the 2020 and 2022 elections.
The financiers of the GOP Establishment see Trump as a threat and the puppets at the GOP are more than willing to help get rid of Trump.
He is a very effective leader .
He acts like an Adult .
He does not attack fellow Gop leaders .
He is dignified .
Man Child Trump has been a undignified distraction .
He needs to retire and take that train wreck Rhonda Romney with him .
The midterms needed to be about the Issues not his victimhood.
The leftists plan is to split the party into a fight between Trump and DeSantis.
Expect the fraud machine to go into high gear to have DeSantis win the primary. This is what the leftists want because they know Trump will not back down and is not afraid to call out fraud where he sees it. They hope this will throw the party into chaos going into the general election.
Trump is the rightful President and the party must unite behind getting him re-elected (reinstated) to that position.
Does anyone imagine DeSantis going hard against the establishment and rooting out the evil in control of our government like Trump will?
Ryan, McCarthy, McConnell, etc. all wanted UT too and likely are complicit.
