It was quite head-spinning to see how instantly and gleefully many Republicans of the high forehead class leapt to blaming Donald Trump for the less-red-wavy-than-expected 2022 Midterms. And leapt from there to condemning his 2024 presidential run. But before lifting new champion Governor DeSantis to their shoulders, the Trump-trashers would do well to praise Caesar rather than burying him.
The Trump magic is clear in the Midterm numbers - 92% of Trump’s endorsees won their primaries, as did 86% of his general election picks. The nay-sayers claiming his 2020 coattails were toxic in 2022 - even though he had no coattails because he wasn’t on the ballot – are simply wrong. In total, Trump’s candidates won 224 of 241 primary races and 208 of 254 general-election ones, according to the Trump-hating Washington Post. People obviously like to vote for the candidates Trump likes. Rather than waning, his influence is on the rise. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/21/trump-republicans-elections/)
Also - if the usual suspects are using the 2022 election to condemn Trump’s 2024 presidential run, why shouldn’t they give him credit for winning back the House? And for the really big news that Republicans actually beat Dems in the popular vote by about 3.5 million ballots?
The Trump-floggers can’t have it both ways.

I agree with your point.
I live on the same block as the library, my voting place in the past. Surprise. Not today. I had to drive past 3 other voting places today to reach my voting place on the other side of town.
I am sure the Fulton County Dems that determine such things are not trying vote suppression as is the reason for this when I was in Illinois.
At least this time dominion said it counted my ballot. In Nov the Dominion machine ate my ballot and the count did not increment by one.
As a fellow Floridian, we tend to agree often 😆
Yep.
I, unfortunately, am outside Philly now.
Most seem to get into politics for power and/or money.
The power seekers are probably either bullies or were bullied and want pay back. Either that or the “I’m the smartest person in the room” types. Narcissists.
The money seekers are the same as the lowest level used car/roofing salesmen. The type that would rip off elderly people without a second thought.
I can’t argue anything you stated.
