The GOP won big in multiple elections during that time. In fact, most people may not even know that the largest Republican majority in the House of Representatives came after the 2014 midterm elections.
One of the biggest problems the Republican Party faces is that it has done so much to destroy its own credibility. They ran in every election from 2010 to 2016 on the promise to repeal ObamaCare, for example. And when they had all the control in Washington they needed in 2017-18 they failed spectacularly.
As a result, nobody with an IQ over 40 would ever believe a single thing they see or hear in a Republican campaign ad these days.

This is an outstanding analysis of ballots vs voters leading to the horrifying situation going on in our country. I do not understand why Trump continues to support Ronna McDaniel and Kevin McCarthy, however
Tactics need not change. Elections need to be restored. How can the US supervise an election in Iraq, yet not here? By intent. Everyone knows how to have a legitimate election:
1) Election DAY voting only.
2) No mail-out ballots.
3) No ballot harvesting.
4) Absentee ballot only when applied for in advance.
5) ID checks.
6) Paper ballots only, which must be maintained.
7) Physical audit trail. No electronic vote selection, or storage on USB drives.
8) Full chain of custody of ballots certified by representatives of all parties.
9) No ballot counting without witnesses.
10) All ballots must be counted within 24 hours. Election officials who fail are held accountable.
11) Totals reported may not exceed ballots cast. Hand-audit until it does (fraud vitiates everything).
12) Periodic review of voter rolls.
13) Public voter rolls. If officials won’t clean out the fraud, crowdsource it.
It’s all basic, common-sense stuff that once was accepted as civics de rigueur for the US, and is still mainly applied for all first and second-world countries, and most of the third-world. The lack of same makes America not a representative republic at all, but an anarcho-tyrannical mobocracy.
The only “election deniers” out there are those who claim you can have fair and transparent elections with the absence of all of the above. Don’t make us bring indelible ink for your thumbs.
It was rigged, the Democrats allowed the election go to the GOP in FLA to prop up their next victim, Pope Ron. If the Dems wanted to steal FLA last Tuesday they could have easily.
Part of the problem was the republicans never put forward a real message. McConnell said we didn’t need one since Biden had made such a mess of things. My guess is that McConnell and the others figured that if “Orange Man Bad” was good enough to get basementman elected, “Biden Bad” would work too. They didn’t even consider the possibility of yet another stolen election with ballot harvesting, unmonitored drop boxes, and mail-in ballots.
Actually, they probably knew that “Biden Bad” and the balloting mess would lead to defeat, but they were willing to accept that so they could launch an all out assault against Trump and MAGA.
GOP needs to stop this stupid crap. We used to make fun of how every time the Dems lost they’d complain that the voters “didn’t understand the issues”. Now the GOP bitches every lost election was “stolen”. STOP. For one thing it loses you elections. When you’re up on the podium telling people the election is going to be stolen from you that discourages voters. The GOP lost because their candidates sucked, their campaigns suck, and the GOP sucks. The reason so many of them are close is the same all hold true for the Dems. The first party that stops being the party of whiny worthless %^&*$es will get a super majority.
It is time for new leadership. We, the MAGA people do not need Trump. We need leadership that can chip away at the fraudulent ballot harvesting so we can win state elections and fix the process (like they did in Florida and Texas).
This is not an endorsement of DeSantis. Just a call for new blood, new ideas and new leadership which does not include Trump.

I’m going to have to agree here on this….it’s not just enough to campaign and complain….at some point there NEEDS to be a PLAN that actually cleans house and reforms. Slogans and sound bites are no longer enough. You can’t MAGA if there’s NO PLAN to reform the government. “Draining the swamp” is not a plan, it’s a catching sound bite and that’s all it is…..
In reality Biden only got about 40 million votes. Trump won 47-48 states before the fraud kicked in.
Well, you cannot restore the election laws until you win elections.
You cannot win elections using tactics for laws that have changed.
Therefore, while I agree with your end-goal, in order to get there requires working through and around the fraud to win first.
You understand that accepting the imprimatur of legitimacy for US elections as currently implemented cements the fraud and raises the bar of victory to an unachievable attainment. I would like to believe that it can happen - there’s probably no other way without civil upheaval - but I doubt it is possible any longer. Tyrants can only be voted in, never out.
Why do certain states take days to count the ballot while others like Florida have the results the next day? It seems that these states always seem to snatch predicted victory for GOP candidates and after several days just enough ballots are “found” to squeak the Democrat candidates to winning. This is BS and it is painfully obvious the fix is in when the count takes days to complete. Maricopa County Arizona should be ground zero for fraud investigations. We must go to paper ballots, ban ballot harvesting, vote by mail and drop boxes. The count should be supervised by armed National Guard troops and not one ballot gets counted late or without supervision. After 2020 US elections have become a joke.
What gets me is how calm the GOP is about all this. “Heh we lost again, oh well, we will try again in 2 years”. The very existence of the GOP is on the line, and it seems like the movers and shakers don’t care.

Ding Ding Ding - we have a winner.
Soon it will seem normal that a retardate is now a Senator elect. Like it was a big deal. Hell they go it down so they could run an inanimate object and still win.
Just bump - trust me

The 30 most Republican districts in Arizona suddenly had printer problems on Election Day, the day more Republicans vote than any other day.
No other districts had this problem.
If you cannot see that this is clear and purposed suppression, than may God have mercy on your soul.
