Midterms made Trump look weak? Because he flipped the house? Because he won reelection in Florida and Because he won the Govenors office in Nevada? Trump holds the house of Representatives and has 48 Senate Seats. Trump won Ohio in a route. Trump won Florida by historic landslide numbers. Trump held onto Iowa and he expanded his numbers in New York. Again, it’s easy to surge when you’re just an idea to everyone. Trump is actually doing the work and fighting for the people. That’s what I call a true leader.
We should have won the House by a comfortable margin even if Trump had done nothing. Historically, the party holding the WH loses big in the midterm. That didn’t happen.
Several of Trump’s high profile endorsements lost. Oz, Dixon, Laxalt, Masters, Lake, Mastriano, Michels are notable examples. And if the aforementioned candidates, only one ,Lake, is fighting. It also looks like Palin in Alaska is going to lose and Walker’s chances in GA look slim .
A leader who wanted McConnell replaced as minority leader in the Senate would have gotten the job done. Instead, Trump got embarrassed as most of the Senate Republicans sent Trump a big FU and voted to keep McConnell.
It remains to be seen if historians in the near future credit Trump from preventing the Democrats from keeping the House or if they assign at least some of the blame for the Republicans poor showing on Trump.
