Pro-Trump wins in blue states leaves moderates skeptical of red wave

Some Republicans are expressing concern that pro-Trump candidates in blue states, where the party has typically found success with more moderate candidates, could hurt the chances of large GOP gains in Congress and statehouses this November.

"It can’t continue," former Connecticut U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, a moderate Republican and Trump critic, told the Associated Press referring to the GOP choosing pro-Trump candidates. "One of the things that will happen is that a lot of the Trump candidates who won the primary will lose the general election. And there are a lot of unhappy Republicans who hold office now who believe that the Senate now is in jeopardy of staying Democratic."

Republican voters nominated pro-Trump candidates in several blue states, including Maryland and Connecticut, where more "moderate" GOP candidates have typically found success.

The GOP is going to pin every loss on Trump rather than fight like Democrats to get every GOP nominee elected.

Believable. I will go to my grave believing that the GOP decided in 2018 that they couldn't keep making excuses about why they were blocking Trump on everything so they intentionally threw the midterm election in the house. So many safe seats retiring, so many weak candidates clearly mailing it in. And the result: the dems could do the blocking while the GOP was able to pretend to the base that they were just so unable to do anything they'd promised for decades or that Trump was trying to do because of the meanie democrats that they themselves put into office just so they could say these things.

Cocaine Mitch is a very quiet, dangerous man, as greedy for power as Schumer and Pelosi. Cocaine Mitch plays the long game, very patiently scheming with his self-serving schemes.

Mitch had been the consumate D. C. Apex Predator...........until our wonderful President Trump came along! Donald J Trump is—even now—THE Apex Predator. Stand down, Cocaine Mitch, or you’ll end up like Jeff Flake, Liz Cheney, and Wile E Coyote.

It’s a sad state that we’re in, I’m not sure that we can ever recover. But we can try until we die...

Red wave skepticism because of Pro-Trump wins in blue states? Illogical. If blue states have Pro-Trump wins that means that both blue states and red states will unite with a big pro-Trump win. Someone is playing logic games with the moderate voters to confuse them into voting for Dems.
