The clear message is that people who think the country is headed in the wrong direction want different Democrats to fix it.

The Republican brand is unsalvageable in large swaths of the country. Trump's success in 2016 was based on stealing blue collar Democrat votes in Rust Belt states - offering them a de facto third party option. Voters saw Trump as that "different Democrat" and disregarded the (R) after his name - a loophole that Democrats have now firmly closed with ballot harvesting and naked fraud in Milwaukee, Detroit, and Philadelphia.

The electoral math looks like this:

There are really only three gold-colored "battleground" states this time - I am optimistically giving GA to the GOP. A DeSantis would have to win both AZ and WI to win in 2024.

Not as it is currently situated. They are the “Seinfeld Party”, a party about nothing.

did he run for the senator of GA? did he run in the midterms?

He cannot have “lost” if he wasn’t running.

2midterms plus 2 Senate special elections in Georgia.

I usually don't say things like this about other freepers, but you are a special class of stupid.

*VOTE FRAUD*. Figure it out.

Lots of money, notoriety and a kick-ass retirement plan with NO blame or responsibility when things go wrong...

The republicans just love it when plan comes together... (spit)

You are saying you weren't serious about calling Trump a 5 time loser and blaming him for the midterms?

Well played sir. You got me.

And I apologize.

Trouble is, I have argued for several weeks with people who believe exactly what you were trolling me with.

The Republican won more seats then the democrats.
4 million more people voted voted Republicans.
Get rid of people like traitor McConnell and the Republicans will win even bigger.
