Trump alienated millions of voters with his jerk personality, constantly hurling insults against his political opponents.

Riiiiiight, like Jeb! would have done better.
If it weren’t for Trump, you’d be looking at President Hillary now.
And all your whining three years after the primaries won’t change that.
Trump ran against Hillary in 2016. Many people were motivated to vote against Hillary rather than for Trump.
He ran against himself in the two years since then. So Trump’s personality was the issue in 2018 and it hurt the Republicans badly at the polls.
BTW Ann Coulter doesn’t mince words in her latest column.
