1. Democrats will not change course on anything; they wildly outperformed expectations, except in Florida.
2. Biden is their 2024 nominee unless he is fully incapacitated.
3. Republicans wildly underperformed, and heads should roll.
4. There is a lot of hope for the Republican coalition given their performance with Hispanic and black voters. But their candidate quality was poor and their leadership was either absent or counterproductive.
5. Candidate quality matters -- underlying dynamics are not strong enough to drive bad candidates to victory.
6. Donald Trump was a major drag on Republicans, from his picks to his antics. Trump picked bad candidates, spent almost no money on his hand-picked candidates, and then proceeded to crap on the Republicans who lost and didn't sufficiently bend the knee. This will have 2024 impact.
7. The Republican leadership class, paralyzed by the Trump phenomenon, failed to provide any leadership at all...
8. Except for DeSantis, who was a leader, an excellent candidate, and an organizer of his own party, leading to a Florida red tsunami. -Ben Shapiro
Under Trump the US enjoyed the following:
Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
Inflation about 1.4%;
Unemployment low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything
down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery;
Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
No war in Ukraine; NATO paid its way;
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
US companies were bringing home the jobs due to tax treatment;
Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem;
I haven’t seen anybody (I’m sure I missed some) state the real cause for the loss (and yes it was a loss) by the GOP.
ABORTION!!!! No doubt in my mind that that was the game changer.
Also Donald Trump (who I have supported since 2015) also hurt the GOP badly with his making it all about him. His rally performances in recent weeks have been embarrassing
If the GOP could not beat Biden and his sorry crew in the current climate, they are finished.
America is finished, the country has gone blue.
Is it true as I have seen suggested that Trump is mainly seeking contributions for his own pocket rather than to help his party?
LOL!
In AZ, Hobbs was horrible candidate vs Lake an outstanding one. Hobbs looks like the winner. Hobbs is the Secretary of State, she is responsible for the counting of votes. Hobbs refused to recuse herself. 25% of tabulators were faulty. Coincidence? I don’t think so. I smell a giant Rat.
