With No Red Wave, Trump Is Out at Sea
Wall Street Journal ^ | Nov. 9, 2022 6:30 pm ET | Karl Rove

Posted on 11/10/2022 9:19:57 AM PST by conservative98

The red wave never came. What happened in Tuesday’s midterms was closer to a trickle.

As of this writing, we still don’t know definitively which party controls the House. It’s likely to be the Republicans but not by much. Before Tuesday, the House had 222 Democrats (that includes two vacant Democratic seats) and 213 Republicans (including one vacant Republican seat).

As of 4 p.m. Eastern Time Wednesday, the Associated Press had called 206 seats for the GOP and Republicans were poised to win 18 other contests. That would leave the GOP with 224 seats to the Democrats’ 211. It will take days—maybe a week—to finalize the results as mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day come in.

In the Senate, if Adam Laxalt hangs on in Nevada and Blake Masters

From an old vanity of mine 12 years ago -- An Insomniac's Recap of the Elections

Rove was busy being Deep State / Uniparty before anyone had even come up with the phrase.

Yet ANOTHER thing President Trump brought to our attention.

No wonder they are still fighting to get rid of him!

But they aren't - are they? :)

Nope because they already know the outcome and votes won't matter. Computers used for elections let them tailor the results such that we don't have an insurrection. None of this would be possible without corrupt courts and politicians in both parties.


He wasn’t the only Founding Father to hold this view. Indeed, James Madison wrote that our Constitution requires “sufficient virtue among men for self-government,” otherwise, “nothing less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another.”

We are no longer deserving of this Republic.

How much of all of this is because of Actual Cheating, and will we ever know the truth? Ditto, the November ‘20 election?

One of two things are true.

1. We have become a majority Communist people.

2. Our elections are a sham.

Trump should run as third party. Burn it all down and use Rove as kindling.

He's acting like he may very well if he can't get his way. He'll go down as a pariah instead of a hero if he even tries, as he has no chance of winning that way.

I think Trump can win as a third party candidate. The election will go to the House of Reps to decide. Don’t underestimate the MAGA vote. Pig faced Rove and his ilk need a reality test.

What you're referring to is the MTGA (Make Trump Great Again) vote, which is different than the MAGA movement, which is bigger than Trump. Reagan first coined the term MAGA, for example.

The only 3rd party candidate who would have any chance whatsoever would have to be someone who drew equally from both parties, which Trump has zero chance of doing, especially in the House of Representatives. The only thing Trump would accomplish is destroying the Republican Party and guaranteeing Democratic rule indefinitely. But, like you, he may be willing to risk it.

And before Trump it was the Tea Party who Obama helped Rove & Co. squash.

Pat Buchanan coined MAGA well before Trump.

However, there’s no getting around the enormous disappointment for Republicans. The party must nominate better candidates, particularly for statewide office, and reject nuts.

Like Fetterman?

I didn’t believe I could ever feel this way, but the MSM
has been right all along. Hillary was right. She and
those who tried to remove Trump for collusion with Russia
were right. Those who conspired to use illegal means to
remove Trump by election there-by pull off a coup, they
were right.

Trump was wrong to build the wall. He was wrong to
appoint SCOTUS justices who would strike down Roe v
Wade.

He was wrong to institute policies that saw our stock
markets roar. He was wrong to institute policies that
kept our energy prices low and product abundant. He
was wrong to reduce the unemployment rates for Blacks,
Hispanics, and women to all time lows.

I could go on, but you catch my drift. He has said
some bad illogical things, and this time they’ve
finally got him on the run like they always promised
they would. Thank heaven for that.

Trump’s Dastardly Accomplishments

https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/

He didn’t allow people to trash him and remain silent
He didn’t come down on the side of the illegal immigrant.
He didn’t praise Leftists and agree with the One World
Odor. How could I have been so blind, and so critical
of the Bush family for doing these sorts of things.

If only I could take all that back.

I can’t image four more years of the kind of things
Trump did last time, and so I join the DNC, the RNC,
the GOPe, the MSM, and every Leftist Democrat and
the RINOs, to condemn Trump and demand he pass the
torch to someone who knows what they are doing.

Mitch, Paul, a whole host of Republicans who slandered
him and demanded he step down, were right.

Refusing to work with him was the best thing that
ever happened to this nation.

Pelosi, Rove, the Bushes, the Cheney’s, the McCains,
McConnell, Ryan, and so many more wise people, I have
come to understand that you were right all along.

It’s time to move on from Trump.

I see so many of my FReeper buds now saying this, and
although I thought they should be ashamed for acting
like that, I have come to see just how wise they were.

I’d like to suggest we get behind De Santis, but then
I realized he would certainly support about 99.99% of
what Trump did, so I’d just like to cut to the chase
now rather than waste another four years, when we
would turn on him too.

So lets look for someone that doesn’t believe in what
Trump does. Liz Cheney, Megan McCain... I don’t know
guys, these women were out there trashing Trump long
before any of us were. I’ve had to change my long
standing disagreement with them.

CNN, the View, all these amazing places that said things
about Trump that so many of us now seem to agree with,
I salute these people. Finally, I can watch these
programs and feel at home with my fellow travelers.

If only we had listened.

I don’t know about others, but I feel so much better
knowing I have the best fellow travelers I could have
now that I’ve seen the light.

He’s finally on the run. He’ll withdraw from public
life any day now. He’ll be in prison within months if
he doesn’t, perhaps anyway.

/s
