RINOs in the Republican party and the media are trying to blame Donald Trump for the results of the midterm election.
This is despite his strong endorsement record.
In a Truth Social post, Trump took aim at this narrative and said the reasons for a poor midterm election had nothing to do with him – he also added that he can name who is responsible for the losses.
Truth Social:
232 out of 252 Midterm Races WON who had my Endorsement, and the Fake News is working overtime to try and create the most negative narrative possible. No, the REAL reasons were other than Trump, and I can name them ALL!
Here are the facts:

He wasn’t the only one.
And the same folks that screwed him are the same ones that pushed for rank choice voting in Alaska and, apparently, now pushing for it in Utah.
When will people learn
I don’t doubt any of this - but so what? Unless people like Trump start to do things that will actually make a difference, there won’t be any 2nd term and all this will be dust in the wind. So McConnell screwed MAGA candidates in favor or GOP suck-ups - what will prevent him from doing the same thing over and over again? And his successor?
Sorry for the negative tone but I’m fed up to hear with whining, blaming, and excuses. Either sit down with like-minded people and put a strategy together to bend this curve or we are DONE as the free republic most of us grew up in.
Republicans are finished in my book!!! As a group they are weak from head to toe!!! Their leaders are all either Traitors or Turncoat weaklings led by none other the Mitch McConnell!!! I will give McCarthy his chance...he better start Street Fighting right now...period!!! We shall see whether he has a real backbone or not!!!
Yes he did. Others too. The biggest thing I see I the senate races is the sheer overwhelming funding disadvantage we had. The Dems have unlimited sources of money to spend when they need it. Overwhelming force. They define our candidates early and deeply and we can’t counter the message when you add their free media plus paid. Plus our own party undercuts our candidates. It’s three against one when it comes to national politics.
Future Trump rallies need a new concept or a refresh of the messaging. Like an already famous rock band going on tour to promote their latest and greatest album, and to remind the audience that the legacy is intact with great potential to win the masses over all over again...”Like never before”!
Trump needs to step aside and retire.
Oh please.
Trump is trying to take credit for the safe bet races of people like Rubio, Grassley, and Rand Paul when he talks about his "93% winning endorsements!" but the real test is how did Trump's picks do in the swing states he lost in 2020 but will need to win in 2024 if he wants to have a shot?
Let's take a look at Trump's "hand-picked" endorsements (not the people running in safe seats who would've won no matter what):
Governors:
Lombardo: W
Lake: L
Mastriano: L
Michels: L
Dixon: L
Perdue: L
Senate:
Johnson: W
Walker: L
Masters: L
Oz: L
Laxalt: L
Bolduc: L
Secretaries of State:
Finchem: L
Karamo: L
Marchant: L
Hice: L
These are the critical swing states Trump needs to win and the voters in these swing states were not buying what Trump was selling.
These voters absolutely rejected Donald Trump and if people can't see that, I can't help.
I'll repeat it for clarity: Swing state voters absolutely rejected Donald Trump.
And these are going to be the same voters in '24.
Who is to blame for midterm results? His name is Donald and he lives in Florida.
Thank you. This will send the Trump fart sniffer into a rage, and, of course, they will call you a troll, and a never Trumper, and whatever else they can come up with, because they just can’t handle the truth.
What is the truth? Donald Trump has turned into a toxic loser with a rapidly diminishing support group
I’m a supporter of Pres Trump and barring something crazy, that support isn’t wavering. Been there since he came down the escalator like so many others.
But, right about now, it’s time for him to do more than a statement on Truth Social...”I Can Name Them ALL”
Pretty simple and doesn’t require much effort.....NAME THEM ALL. Every one of them.
One name at a time and what action they took or inaction to help the Dem. Pretty simple.
One a day, or so. Name them, what they did/didn’t do and bait them into responding.
These folks aren’t going to help him anyway, in 2024, anymore than they helped him in 2016-17, so he needs to put that out of his mind, anyway. In fact, they’ll be actively working against him. Go back to that piece of advice I’m betting a lot of us got...If you’re going to be in a fight, HIT FIRST and HIT HARD. EFF IT. Nothing to lose at this point.
Look at it this way. Expert "poker player" and deal-maker Trump probably endorsed so-called MAGA Republican candidates partly so that he could watch more masks fall off after 2022 elections.
After all, Trump has another round of getting rid of House RINOs before 2024 elections.
Also consider that since Trump is now a private citizen that he is not politically obligated to be transparent about anything that he does.
The problem with patriots since the first time that Trump was elected is that they are in the back seat getting car sick with expert "stunt car driver" Trump at the wheel.
Even though patriots have now twice been fooled by post-Election Day anti-Trump media propaganda, let's start bracing ourselves for post-2024 Election Day anti-Trump 47 propaganda.
Trump 47 needs to finish draining the swamp and hopefully work with the states to surrender state powers that the corrupt feds have been stealing from the states since before the ink on the Constitution had dried back to the states.
Once the states have their powers back, the crooks will hopefully lose interest in getting elected to constitutionally limited power DC.
According to Real Clear politics, the final average (October 28 - November 2 2020) in the 2020 elections for Florida were Biden +0.9 points over Trump. Florida isn’t a “safe seat” for Republicans.
Also for Ohio, Trump was ahead of Biden by only 1 point in the final RCP average (October 28 - November 1, 2020). Just like Florida, Ohio isn’t a “safe seat” for Republicans.
Still Republican primary voters have to think long and hard if they really want Trump as their nominee. It’s better to have DeSantis.

Democrats defeated every GOP Senate and gubernatorial candidate endorsed by Donald Trump this year in the five states that flipped from supporting him in 2016 to backing Joe Biden in 2020: Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona.
Johnson won in Wisconsin.
Great post describing the effects of a 3-peat loser.
—> Trump needs to step aside and retire.
This house has 2 votes for Trump and a dog that wishes he could vote for trump.
100%
Maybe, just Maybe, its time to start a new party or take over an established party, like Reform. The MAGA Party, Liberty Party (still, Reform Party sounds good to me as an old Buchannan Brigadier—Time for Pitchforks and torches!) Reform goals Reform Government back to the way it was intended. Change Voting Laws! Hang Drug dealers and Cop Killers! Our leader—Donald Trump, Our Motto, “Don’t Tread On Me!” Our symbol A Lion (the king of beasts) Our Color: Orange like the Oranges of Florida. Our Organ, a National Newspaper: The Trumpet! Sounding the Call of Freedom. Goal: a New Branch of the Military: “The Border Guard” to secure the Border and make it airtight! War on The Cartels of Mexico to break their back and bring freedom to Mexico.
Point well taken. Did any other Trump endorsed Senate or Govenor candidate win in one of those five swing states that Biden flipped in 2020?
