Top Republicans including Senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz admitted that the predicted 'red wave' had not materialized as Democrats were victorious in crucial House races and won a Senate seats in Nevada.

'Definitely not a Republican wave, that's for darn sure,' GOP Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told NBC News just hours after the GOP started the night strong with Ron DeSantis' landslide victory in the Florida Governor race.

And Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas said: 'It hasn't been as big of a wave as I'd hoped it would be. We've had some close races go the other way so far.'

Back to Eeyore mode.... This is probably the end of the fake Hispanic in Texas providing material for freepers. Stacy Abrams can continue to a darling of the Media but at least she will never yield actual power. Other than what a bummer. This might be unpopular here but if it is Trumnp v. DeSantis I will vote for DeSantis. Trump did his job. Now he needs to step aside and let others to implement the policy goals.

I live in Abagail Spanberger’s district. I have to give her credit for being a great political chameleon. She touts herself as an independent to the voters, but when Pelosi calls her, she answers “How High”.

Did not materialize because when the big steal occurred the republicans ran and hid behind each other and in some cases were closed mouthed about the steal for fear of being exorcised by the rats and the media as “election deniers”

THEY CONTINUE TO STEAL UNIMPEDED

Okay guys, then clean house. Shake some things up. And start by removing Mitchell McConnell as the GOP Senate leader. Rand Paul would be an excellent replacement.

I’m dreaming, of course. Nothing will change.

The RINOs don’t want nonRINOs to win. We still need to put more RINOs out to pasture.

Re # 7:

Exactly correct. And the problem is too many on our side cannot see it, or are too emotionally fragile to handle the truth.

Trump is done.

Trump’s candidates could not beat the early, mail-in voting because they were all smeared in the first months of the campaign. Their opponents refused to debate. Trump did not sufficiently fund his own endorsed candidates. McConnell funded Trump’s senate candidates with 10x the money Trump spent, despite Trump’s PAC having raised more than McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund. So, do not blame McConnel.

This allowed the Dems to smear our candidates early and cement those early, mail-in votes, ensuring their victory.

DeSantis turned Florida more red than ever by actually governing as a conservative, taking actions to ensure integrity and leading the nation during the pandemic.

Trump needs to retire his ego and enjoy his billions and Melania.

I fear Trump will not. He is the jilted lover who wants revenge. If Trump gets the nomination, he loses in 2024. If Trump loses the nomination, he will undermine our nominee causing us to lose 2024.

I think this was predictable. The Republican party is now very deeply split into two wings. GOPe Republicans and MAGA Americans. I for one do not see anything in my (limited) lifetime that will heal that breach. "A house divided cannot stand"

But many here will ostrich that thought and stick to fraud. If we do t embrace early and mail voting and make it work for us we are done. It’s not going away.

The only candidates who really benefited from Trump were likely to win anyway. He needs to stop.

“…were victorious in crucial …”

C’mon, raise your hand if you saw that coming. The demons would have long since figured what they HAD to win and locked in the fruad.
