You support their President, don’t expect to beat many down ballot.

The midterm clusterfark has drawn plenty of hot takes and instant analyses that range from insightful to self-serving to unbelievably stupid. But now that we have gotten past the initial blasts of the flamethrower, perhaps we should take a breath and sit down, and think about where we are as a movement and what we need to do as a party for 2024. There’s a lot to talk about, from procedural questions like how we intend to cope with the new world of extended mail voting to substantive imperatives like how we must repeal the 19th Amendment as it applies to single, liberal women who vote for their Democrat Daddy in appalling numbers. We need to ask questions about candidate selection, money, issue choices, and a bunch of other stuff. And we need to answer the question of what to do about Donald J. Trump.
My DMs and texts and chats and super-secret Townhall VIP email (Join with promo code KURT for a discount!) exploded – I mean, they went the full Nagasaki – during the 24 hours after the election, and most of it was along the lines of “I am so done with Trump!” It was not just a few people, and it was not only on back channels (Twitter was alive with Trump-roasting). It was a lot of people, and most were pretty damn hardcore. These were not Never Trump sissies or establishment shills – those losers don’t get to talk to me. These were people who, unanimously, were grateful for what Trump did.

Anyhow, a terrific analysis
Got a text from the Trump organization saying he is preparing his announcement.
I don’t know about this one, especially in the middle of Walker’s runoff.
When Carvelle and the other libs, along with usual RINO cankers, tell me Trump has to go for the good of the party, I make it a point to cling closer to him. After all, those warts are not speaking for our benefit out of the goodness of their hearts.
Election theft is the problem, but let’s pretend it’s Orange Man Bad.
Speaking of that, it seems that lately Victor Davis Hanson’s podcasts mirror a LOT of the discussion on FR.
If there would have been a red wave, those Rino cankers would be blaming the Dems and Biden - Trump was just riding the wave.

It is a trap.
Warnock is not a very good candidate. Walker is not the best candidate either.
Everyone, and I mean everyone including the GOPe, will frame the Georgia Senate election as a referendum on Trump.
Look how that worked out for us in 2020 in Georgia. It was stupid then and it would be stupid now.
The narrative is already written and this will be the most expensive Senate race in history because everyone is going to go all in to defeat Trump.
Kurt’s one of us, he used to post under KS here. If he’s saying this, it really is pretty dumb to reflectively resist what he is saying.

The runoff is not nearly as important as Trump’s ego.
Not allowed. His record: he is the president who gave us mail in ballots, masking, USSR style travel restrictions.. how many checks to pay how many people to stay home.
Trump vax and mail is n ballots are the keys to perpetuate dem control.

Kurt Schlichter isn’t a lib like Carville.
This article is worth reading.
Romney and other leadership is ignored.

Let’s have a primary and decide! ...he should be vetted by the people. A primary sharpens the eventual winner while testing all the candidates. Trump has to answer some tough questions. What has he learned from his mistakes? Will he screw up personnel again? Does he intend to subject America to years more of Trump drama, and what makes him think voters want that again? What, exactly, is his plan to win key states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan in 2024 (It’s a fair question to ask DeSantis and any other aspirants too)? Here’s the thing – I do not see a clear path for Trump to get to 270 electoral votes in the general as of today, though that can change quickly, so that’s the big question he and every other candidate has got to answer because we cannot afford another term of these communist bastards wrecking our country.
For the record, I'm in the "Trump's Achilles is his HR skills, and they limit MAGA." I'm not against the man...I want him to go to HR Rehab and fix his problem.
But yes...primaries to a candidate are like heat and pressure to coal on the way to becoming a diamond. Let the games begin!
You who want Trump gone.. dropped out... You want to give the dirty dem and dirty media and the corrupt government and corrupt bidens.. the victory!? You want them to have the belief they got him out!?
You know what happens if you do get Trump out.. a victory for the enemy just gives them juice and pull, to keep at it... they want control and they will not stop till they get it..
Trump was standing in their way, preventing them from taking our freedoms.. from taking our guns... You take Trump out and it’s all over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, no one else will work in this war.. you have to win this or you have already lost the next chapter... which would start immediately.
Get some sense into your heads.... ya do NOT surrender when you have the best weapon for victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not care if you like him or not... I do not care if you think all the wrong things to end whatever is getting to you.. you have not reached the point that Trump has been living in for these years. He did not quit on you.. don’t quit on Trump!

“But let’s not minimize his failures in failing to win this last midterm, and they are failures and they are just more in a line of them. He postures as the head of the GOP, and congratulations, Don – that means you get the blame when stuff goes sideways just like you get the credit when you win. In 2018 we lost seats, a lot of them. He gets a big piece of that demerit. In 2020, he lost the election – yeah, I know about the rigging issues because I lawyered in the aftermath, but the fact is that Crusty O’Senile is in the Oval Office and Trump isn’t, so Trump lost. And in 2022, well, we are still mopping up that mess. No, it’s not all his fault, but some of the fault was his.”
His election no longer matters.
