Hey, good post!
God does work in mysterious ways.
No. I don’t think this is a healthy outlook moving forward. Republicans need to get their act together. Beto got a lot of votes in Texas. The Dems are putting up shinier candidates, and the public has proven willing to overlook their leftier elements.
Greater is God than Satan. But we have to do our part in the battle too, so let’s not underestimate the forces of evil.
Republicans/Conservatives get too complacent too easily. Too many precious House seats were lost due to mediocre candidates being put up and GOP not getting act together. Dems in very Red places either came super close or outright won.
This should be a wakeup call.
I agree with you. This is no time for empty bravado. Most of us convinced ourselves that would do well this last election. We did not, the electorate is full of ingorants and scum who aren’t gonna just disappear. The President’s reelection is in serious jeopardy. We need to buckle down and figure out how to win rather than expecting it to happen just because.
Agreed. We better put up better candidates, AND explain why conservative governance leads to better lives for voters.
Why we should have to explain that, AGAIN, GIVEN THE HISTORY OF FAILURE OF SOCIALISM is BS, but nevertheless, it must be done.
Stop the crybaby crap. We did better than almost any other President’s first midterm election. We picked up two in the Senate and held their state legislative and governors gains to a minimum.
Them winning the House was the booby prize. They spent themselves on winning it, their energy is already dissipating.
We cannot undo the upending of all our civic foundations and historical narratives on the part of the Left. We can't expect our media to adequately inform the public...But what wins elections isn't always substance of policies but accessibility and affability of the candidate.
We need talented candidates willing to put in the hours going door to door and talking to people the way Beto O'Rourke and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez did.
Better candidates don’t matter if the Ds have legions of illegals who only vote the correct party line. The illegals/dead/mentally deficient, et al, do not respond to better candidates. They are sock puppets who exist to pad D vote totals.
I am hearing rumblings about 2 candidates here in MI that makes me say yes, we need better candidates and Salena Zito has a column on how it is about how well the candidate plays in the district. This tells me the RNC is dysfunctional at the national and state levels. I want a new RNC chairwomen. McDaniels is sucking pond water, I want a proven winner, someone who has won a race as a team leader, I want Kellyanne Conway as RNC Chair for starters.
We should taunt them into an impeachment attempt.
Kellyanne Conway has a horrible husband. No thanks! Sarah Palin would be great.
I disagree, I was a kid during the Nixon deal and got to see the Clinton mess in its full regalia. Clinton should have resigned, and DNC has paid a price they don’t get for not doing so, aka a greater decline in our society because of it, and they are ok with it which is even worse. I have seen enough of this Country and the political divide that has divided friends and families. No to impeachment is my vote, the Republican Party didn’t rebound from Nixon until Reagan, and we have no Reagan like figure that I can see on the horizon, in fact that model is done, it will be out of the boxers from now on after PDJT, we will not want another up through the ranks POTUS, yet I don’t see one on the horizon.
She’d have to kick him to the curb first, I should have stated that. It is probably just a matter of time, she is a type A gal, high energy, but she looks thin and stressed, her hub is not helping in fact maybe the cause of a lot of it, the WH might be a cake walk compared this issue...
Hardly, Hoss. Doing better than Clinton and Obama is hardly anything to write home about, those are the only two in the past 50 years we did "better" than in terms of number of US House seats lost. More GOP seats haven't been lost since 1974, gonna be 38 or so, that's more than Reagan in '82, more than Bush's second midterm nightmare. You wanna consider that a trifling amount? Fine, you fail math. If you want to pretend this was not a bad result go ahead but I ain't gonna and I don't care if it bothers you to see honest, non-head in the sand analysis. Dropped over 300 state leg seats.
We avoided complete disaster by holding a couple key Governorships like FL and OH, not losing more state house chambers than we did (solely because we drew the lines, which will be harder next time with more rat Governors) and most importantly by gaining a couple net in the Senate (knock on wood), which was more critical for us to hold.
But we should have done better with the seats that were up. ND and Missouri were gimmes. Rats won WV and MT where Trump won easily, gained AZ, and nearly took Texas. There aren't many potential gains in 2020 aside from taking back Alabama. Missed opportunity.
And while the Senate was more important calling the purse-string controlling US House a "booby prize" is straight up ignorant, it's a pretty lame psychological defense mechanism to devalue what you no longer have. You'll see that when your tax bill goes up and when your turn on C-SPAN and some some Black guy holding a gavel is leading a witchhunt hearing because Trump farted in an elevator once. Other than getting judges confirmed anything good happening the next 2 years is precluded, instead it's trying to fend off tax hikes and more federal dollars to suck out babies brains, ect ect.
As for "energy dissipating"? LOL. If you think the scum aren't gonna have "energy" in 2020 when they try to steal the White House you've got another thing coming.
By all means, look on the bright side, Trump now has a great foil if he can use it. But spare me the useless spin like "We did better than almost any other President’s first midterm election". This was a bad result and the worst part it was almost as bad as the media predictions.
Ronna McDaniel’s @$$ sucks buttermilk, she doesn’t have a freakin’ clue what to do.
The MI Republican party was a well oiled machine before they hired her dumb ass, and now it’s in tatters. She lost every race in the state!
Democrats won it on demographics and vote fraud. Trump has done nothing so far to stop either.
Romney plant
Yrump does what he says. Rinos run to their voters but govern to their donors.
Not sure I would agree on the “minimal losses in the House” part. But 2020 is going to be a heck of a fight.
