Former President Donald Trump is blaming Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for Republicans not winning more seats in the U.S. Senate, as their chances of flipping a majority in the chamber become more unlikely.
On Friday evening, shortly after Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly fended off Republican challenger Blake Masters, Trump took to social media to blame McConnell over the loss.
"Mitch McConnell, the Republicans Broken Down Senate Leader, does nothing about this. He’s too busy spending vast amounts of money on bad Senator Lisa [Murkowski] of Alaska, when Kelly [Tshibaka] is FAR better."
The former president’s comments come as a handful of Senate Republicans sought to delay their leadership elections set for next week as they too have growing frustration with McConnell and other leaders.

That’s not what I’ve seen in post election polls for Dems. They want to kill babies and it changed their mind over the importance of inflation to being secondary of importance.
“ Abortion was also a significant factor in the election, with more than a quarter of voters listing it as a top issue. About 61% said they were unhappy with the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and about 7 in 10 of those voters backed a Democratic House candidate.”—Edison Research
Also election polls in New York said Dems 2 main factors were Roe vs Wade and Jan 6, changed their minds. I believe that was from FOX.
Trump go MAGA fired up. If the GOPe doesn’t like Trump then where are the Mitchea, the Kemps ect doing rallies to get out the anti Trump Republicans or whatever constituency they think Trump can’t pull? Trump has to be the one to get out every last vote when he isn’t even on the ticket? They put all their effort into trying to destroy Trump. Not only that. Alaska was going to be solid red no matter what and so much money was pumped into that dump.
Dr. Oz would have been a cross between Mitt Romney and Susan Collins - we don’t need more RINOs in the party, I say we dodged a bullet with him.
Trump endorsed Oz early on in April 2022 because the only other candidate was David McCormack who was a Bush-McConnell anti Trump guy and unfortunately Kathy Barnette came on too late in the primary.
I agree with your sentiment, but personally, I’d be terrified to vote twice.
The Jan 6’ers told me all I need to know about how justice is handed out in America.
The problem I see with all sides cheating is that then the contest becomes so distorted it becomes meaningless. The bubble would be lost entirely.
But maybe that would force the change necessary to get this system back to level.
Because the only other way is to reform the education system. That would tame 20 yrs, and another 20 to see the results.
Thinking through this, you have a point here. When you have a dorked up, half-operating system, break it entirely so everyone agrees it must be rebuilt.
Solid red? Alaska? No. Murkowski is a dem. Just like McConnell McCarthy and everyone else taking over our country right now
Think about what it means
They’re taking over the house right now. This was not an election
Trump showed us that they cheat. They have to go all in now
They’ll shut down conservative news and mandate experimental serum injections
They’ll floss the border. They will not let lake win
“then the contest becomes so distorted it becomes meaningless.”
It isn’t meaningless now?
Good grief! When are we going to purge these damn dinos?
No "we" didn't.
Regardless of his degree of RINOism, that "R" after his name would give us control of the Senate and the committees.
That election was also stolen, as they gave Fetterman 300,000 Oz votes.
Abortion is a real issue when you run from it instead of actually being prolife instead of just talking about it.
If you can’t defend with conviction a 15-week ban on abortion versus aborting an 8.5 month developed fetus, then you deserve to lose, one is a reasonable compromise, one is infanticide, those candidates that embraced that idea won, those like Dr. Oz got crushed.
“...If that means Ballot Harvesting, you ballot harvest...”
Republicans cannot go toe-to-toe with the Rats regarding ballot harvesting. With millions of illegals aliens flooding the country, nearly all of them registering with the Rat Party, our side is vastly out numbered. Republicans would have to resort to registering millions of phantom voters who live on a bench in the park (this is what democrats do when they register the homeless).
Prepare for the collapse. The next “election” will be with the ammo box.
In 2022 you had no cohesive leadership in PA to push the misfit and loser candidates out of the primary process.
I also think Mastriano was a major drag on the GOP ticket. He may have been the most awful candidate in the entire country during this election cycle. I was stunned to see him get even 40% of the vote.
Alaska was going to go Republican no matter what from a Senate point of view. There was no reason to put money there over AZ for example
“I also think Mastriano was a major drag on the GOP ticket.”
Agree. He’s probably a decent man with a good heart and great ideas. But he comes across as a dork, and not forceful enough to entice people to his side. I could listen to him with no problem, but watching him ... nope. No confidence.
You don’t have to vote twice, that’s the key.
I would bet the majority of the illegal votes cast are not from people voting twice.
Here’s how it’s done, especially when cheating is made legal.
Supervisors of Elections, don’t maintain proper voting rolls, meaning they’re thousands of people on the rolls that should not be there, they died, moved or otherwise are not voters any longer.
Universal mail in voting means each of those people get sent a ballot.
Democrats hire mules to go out and gather those ballots, fill them out and deposit them in unattended ballot boxes.
Republicans can do the same thing.
You can’t change the system to make it more secure unless you have political power, you can’t get political power unless win elections, you can’t win elections by playing by the old rules.
Yes. Then he turned around and voted to install him as AG where he could do the most harm the quickest. How is that working out for you?
Everyone is telling me abortion and Jan 6th was what caused us to lose. Especially the Democrats. I find this suspicious. Why?
1. Because I watched the dems MAKE these issues. But Jan 6th got terrible viewership, no one seemed to care! The Roe demonstrations were just the hard core shock-troops. No one else seemed to care! The only people that cared in small numbers were the paid protesters!
2. Abortion is un-natural. I find it inconceivable that large numbers of women want to kill their babies. This runs counter to nature, common sense, and that ticking biological clock I hear about.
3. Jan 6th was nothing compared to Portland, Seattle, and all the other riots that happened. A blind man could see this.
What if instead, these were manufactured to give a steal plausibility?
It’s what I would do if I was going to steal something blatantly. I would manufacture an explanation before hand. Then I would just gaslight the crap out of everyone and we’d all go home a little confused, but go home peacefully we surely would to endlessly debate with our friends why we just lost again despite experiencing the worst economic, political, foreign policy environment we have ever experienced.
What party these people register with is irrelevant.
It’s the ballot that you need to get your hands on.
If all these illegal aliens registered as Democrats, how many would actually show up and vote ?? I suggest very few.
The Democrats will hire mules like what you saw in the movie 2000 Mules to go out and harvest those ballots, get them filled out and dropped into unattended ballot boxes.
One side is doing it and the other is consistently losing elections.
Desert Storm was more than 30 freaking years ago, and most voters today probably couldn’t tell you one thing about it. That’s like a candidate running around in 2022, telling voters to vote for him because he was an all-state high school athlete in the 1980s.
“That’s like a candidate running around in 2022, telling voters to vote for him because he was an all-state high school athlete in the 1980s.”
You’re telling me that being in All-State Choir in 1966 wouldn’t mean much on my 2000 resume? That’s harsh! LOL!
Yeah, but only our side thinks so right now. We need their side to think its meaningless too!
It could be difficult, they seem happy with a dementia sufferer and a mentally disabled senator. Maybe if we cheated enough to make them elect an actual donkey to office?
‘Course if the donkey was wearing a bag over his ass to fight climate change, that could get him reelected legitimately.
