My feeling is the Democrats just outspent and outsmarted the GOP in carefully selected districts. They couldn’t afford to do that on the statewide level, so there was no blue wave in the Senate or governorships. But they found a message that worked and bombarded the right swing districts with it and succeeded. The health care messaging worked, the scare tactics of the GOP absurdly taking away people’s health care worked, and the GOP seemed to be completely inept at offering a response to it. The RNC chair definitely has to go. This is a complete failure on the party level to formulate a rebuttal to the dems this cycle.

Good riddance to the weak-sister rino losers who essentially are quislings. Get out of the party if you can’t stand and fight. You are replaceable. This is a short term “loss” for a long term gain. We need fighters who stand-up for their President and the conservative principles he supports. We don’t need weak, back-benchers who hide in the darkness waiting around for their pensions..

YES, YES, YES.

For all of Rush's cited reasons and all of yours, too, plus we can't forget or overlook that we lost more than a couple of excellent House veterans due to redistricting and the massive influx of $billionaire money into the Democrat coffers from Soros, Steyer and Bloomberg which totaled almost $300 Million!

For instance, Dave Bratt in VA barely lost due to being vastly outspent and also to having his district redrawn.

Likewise, Dana Rohrbacher in CA was vastly outspent and barely lost, ditto for Darryl Issa's open CA seat. The vicious environmental lawyer, Mike Levin, outspent Republican Diane Harkie by $5 million with the most adorable, squishy, feel-good, bi-partisan, TV ads I've ever seen! Had I not known better, I would have voted for him! The ads against her made her look like a crook from way back. He got his money from the trio of billionaires.

In Pennsylvania, the Democrats got away with political murder when it came to redistricting. I think NC might have also suffered some similar problems.
