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.
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.
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.
Bkmk
So if Trump endorses someone in Alabama and that person wins then Trump gets the credit?
What matters is in Swing seats and Trump endorsed candidates lost big.
Either Trump knows this but he is deliberately misleading...all in all he is turning to a typical politician always blaming others.
