but how many of those W’s were in solid red areas?
versus L’s in toss up areas
and Oz, and likely Walker (Dems will prevent him from winning a runoff one way or another ) were Huge L’s
His choices in Georgia and Pennsylvania and a few other key races are struggling or lost. That’s what matters.
We started with 50 in the Senate and 215 in the House.
Let’s see where we end up to determine success/failure of Trump’s endorsements.
These mostly red seats would have been likey won anyhow.
And on top of that Trump’s “ I have a big announcement very soon” two days ago stunt probably excited the Dem turnout at the polls and may have cost us in close races. At this point Trump has too big of a hurdle with voters who view him negatively will not come into his camp....it’s too strong of a negative and it’s the same problem Hillary could not overcome.

It’s easy to endorse candidates in red states that would win even without the endorsement but, the ones he backed in the primaries who were not the front-runners at the time of the endorsement is rather impressive.
Regardless of endorsements, the candidate alone has to win the race. I questioned some of the endorsements, (particularly Oz) and still do. It ought to end one’s political career to lose a race to a retard like Fetterman. Of course, one could say the same about losing to Biden.
In baseball, if a player hits 300, then that is considered a good average.
It’s definitely time for sniping, right now. The entire leadership of the GOP should be replaced.
Once the primaries have set the candidates, the RNC must absolutely support the entire slate. Pulling dollars out of a campaign is simple suicide.
I sense Trump supporters like me will begin to waiver. His tease at Vance’s rally didn’t help and his joy at seeing O’Dea lose, and Bolduc’s reprimand shout he’s more concerned with his legacy than gaining control of the levers of govt.
Let the debate begin.
It’s very unlikely DeSantis is interested as he’d have to eat his recent pledge to serve 4 years. Focus then moves to Youngkin, which would tell DeSantis as “it’s now or never”.
Thank God we’ve got a strong bench.
It kinda seems what really matters (as far as our freerepublic authority figures are concerned) is getting back to politics as usual, and forgetting that our elections are now heavily tainted by voter fraud.
Many on social media are saying that there is no way to fix the system by voting alone and are advocating violence. Because they like violence.
Meanwhile, many counties are documenting and reporting fraud at their polling places. (But let’s forget about that. And let’s forget about how a lot of this horrifying BS never would have occurred in the wake of a FAIR election.) (Just think of how nuclear warfare will change the betting odds!)
And our beloved pundits want to make things appear a lot worse than they really are, i.e., the Trump is Toast theme, because they never liked Trumpy in the first place. Harumph, who cares about cheap gas, a functional military and police force, up-front and transparent foreign relations in which USA’s dominance is maintained. Let’s just move on!
To our beloved “right-wing” pundits, Mitt Romney is a “true conservative” and the best guy even if he loses. (Of course, they are going to pimp Governor Ron now because LET’S MOVE ON! At least he’s closer to being a real conservative, but that’s neither here nor there. After a fair election, DT would be the president and a lot of these issues would be only a blip on the radar, if even that.)
And of course punditz are very keen on the idea that we “move past 2020” and get with the program. (What program? Uh, the true.... conservative... program. You know. The one where everybody loses but a certain few get RICH, RICH, RICH.)
This isn’t “Orange Man Bad” - it’s about making a mockery of our electoral process so that globalism can exploit the USA, its people, its military, its wealth, and its vast resources.
Donald Trump was out there working his tail off campaigning for his endorsement picks and the majority of them were successes. AND a lot of his actions while in office are still having results. If you read Lifesite news, you will find that his court appointments are having long-lasting results that should save countless numbers of infants from being aborted. In spite of his NOT being a “true conservative.”
Small potatoes. Right?
There are a lot of people who thought Trump did a good job as president, but don’t want him running again. In politics, four years is an eternity. He is old news. The Desantis, Lakes etc. are the new face of the party. If Trump is the candidate in 2024 the GOP loses and probably coughs up both houses because of his drag on down ballot races. Even a lot of people who liked what he did while in office are tired and wary of the circus, he brings to town when he comes.
How many of those losses were because of shenanigans? There were a lot of shenanigans in this election cycle, yet again.
How could anyone feel sorry for Trump when he’s consistently his own worst enemy? Which is saying something because he has alot of enemies. All he had to do was move on from 2020 like a normal leader and regroup with the slightest bit of strategy. Avoid retarded nonsense like letting Jan 6 goofballs in Viking hats invade the House floor and keep classified documents out of his own friggin basement. Sure it would help if Republicans weren’t so easily tagged in suburbia as the party of “no day after pills for teenage rape victims” but it did not have to be this hard and he can’t own it for a split second.
Trump: “Well, I think if they win, I should get all the credit. If they lose, I should not be blamed at all.”
lol come on man. Imagine an NFL coach saying that.
I think you are on the wrong site.
Only been here for 21+ years just like you.
In the runoff, perhaps McConnell will open up the RNC funds spigot; you know all the money the RNC raised using President Trump’s name.
Still think you are on the wrong site.
I could be wrong, but I think we only had 212 in house.
