So for the sake of argument lets say the election were not stolen or that there was any fraud. Furthermore lets assume that voters voted exactly how they wanted for the candidates they wanted. So did the Republican party run poor candidates?? Did voters swing toward Democratic candidates because they didn’t like what the Republican candidates were saying or offering a vision voters didn’t like??
I believe these are fundamental questions the party should be asking. Since many voters do not follow politics all that closely they are likely to pick candidates that they feel are “safe” candidates, i.e. their vision or stance on issues is not to radical, or too far removed from the average voters positions. So if candidates have not done a good job articulating their positions or if they are too far to the fringe then I suspect that is why people voted the way they did. And we see the results.
Yeah you can scream at me about fraud, etc. but that is NOT going to fix the messaging problem we seem to have. And fixing that messaging is what it will take to win elections.
If you try to decide “what went wrong” based on a false premise, what do you get? You get the a false answer. The election system has been totally compromised. The FBI made up stuff to get Trump. The internet based vote counting system is completely compromised. We all saw votes being shifted from one candidate to the one who “won”. The vote count for a candidate should never go down during counting.
