Trump Was the Biggest Loser Last Night and That's a Good Thing

He used to work at Notre Dame ringing bells.

As I said two months ago, I wanted Republicans to lose the midterms. not because I want Democrats to win or that I support their agenda, but because it's necessary for Trumpism to be destroyed in order to save the Republican Party. I'm fairly pleased with last night's results. The Republicans look on track to eek out just a small majority in the House, far less than expectations, and at best they might be able to hold a 50/50 Senate again. Either Nevada or Arizona will have to flip to counter Pennsylvania, assuming Ron Johnson hangs on in Wisconsin, and both are looking iffy right now. Dems may end up with 51 seats when all is said and done.

The Dobbs ruling played a major role in this defeat. Women and Gen Z voters were out in historical force infuriated by the abortion ruling. That definitely blunted any red wave, but at the end of the day candidate quality matters and Trump is solely to blame for that. His MAGA picks crashed and burned last night. New Hampshire Senate, Pennsylvania Senate and Governor, Wisconsin Governor, several House endorsements, all very winnable races, Trump racked up loss after loss after loss. Even his rare winners, like J.D. Vance in Ohio, had to struggle to win in a race that should have been a cakewalk.

Voters sent a clear message to the Republican Party. Trumpism is poison. They rejected the extreme MAGA conspiratorial election deniers at nearly every turn. This, in one of the best electoral environments Republicans had in several election cycles. Contrast that with candidates who rejected Trump, like Brian Kemp and Chris Sununu, who had no problem winning their elections, while their Senate counterparts crapped the bed. Even in some races that Republicans came up short, the ones who rejected Trumpism overperformed their district environment. Hung Cao came within a few points of winning VA-10, a district in northern Virginia that Biden won by 18 points. Allan Fung came within three points of winning Rhode Island's Second District, a district Biden won by almost 30. Lee Zeldin got 46% of the vote in New York in his gubernatorial bid, the best performance by a Republican in New York in two decades, by keeping Trump out of the picture and sticking to a message of cleaning up crime plaguing NYC. Zeldin's excellent performance might end up dragging several Republican House candidates in New York over the finish line. Ironically, the GOP may take the House majority because of New York of all states. Compare these results with MAGA loudmouth Lauren Bobert, who is on the cusp of losing her seat in a safe Republican district in western Colorado.

How anybody could still want Trump as their great white hope in 2024 is pretty astonishing at this point considering what Ron DeSantis did in Florida last night. This was the only state that saw a red wave. DeSantis is on target to win reelection with almost 60% of the vote. He won Miami, Tampa, and Jacksonville, all traditional Democratic areas. It seems pretty clear that the path forward for the Republican Party lies in Ron DeSantis as opposed to the toxicity of Donald Trump and yet, despite this, Trump's lawyer had the arrogance to send DeSantis a finely worded threat to stay out of the presidential race.

It's time for Trump supporters to accept the fact that they got lucky in 2016. Two very unpopular candidates ran for president and Trump just managed to squeak out enough votes in key states to win the Electoral College, largely due to Clinton's missteps. Since then he's presided over, now, three election cycles in which the Republican Party has received a thumping. It's more than clear that DeSantis is the path forward for 2024 and Trump is the path of electoral disaster. All over social media today a lot of conservative pundits are finally admitting this. A lot of money and support will undoubtedly shift from Trump to DeSantis in the coming months and the party apparatus will do everything they can to stop Trump in his tracks. The question is how many of the Trump faithful will manage to break themselves out of his hypnotic spell.

Don't expect Trump to go gracefully, though. This is and has always been about his ego. He's going to kick and scream and cry and do everything he can to sabotage the party if he doesn't get his way. The next two years are going to be very bumpy in the GOP.
Im so happy that 50% of the people here around metro Detroit speak ONLY SPANISH, and this happened over the last 2 years. We have millions of homeless Americans that need help and yet there are floods of illegals with New cars, free housing, free food, free medical and job placement assistance YAY I FEEL SO GOOD ; Bidiot calls it, his "Relaxed Asylee Program", I call it Agenda 2030. I am still waiting to see what Trump did that was any worse than Hilary (eg; Ben Ghazi coverup). The only crime Trump did was SLOW DOWN AGENDA 2030

The only downside to Trump is that he is from New York City and this makes him a prick, but EVERY BUSINESSMAN IN NYC IS A PRICK, you have to be in order to survive. I dont care if he is a Satanist, as long as he helps the country and not the Agenda 2030 crowd. The DNC is smart, they only cultivate Females and Blacks for votes because they are SINGLE ISSUE AND FEELING VOTERS,,,,they vote with their manipulated Heart and not their heads.

The Fed is going to keep hiking up interest rates till unemployment will make the wheels fall off of this country AND the Democrats will be CHEERING ??? By next summer, I expect gas to be around 6$ and higher in the elitist bi-coastal states.

Europeans say that Americans are like little kids in a car speeding toward a brick wall and they are fighting over who gets to sit in front
 
I believe you’re a sellout, because you know Trump is a pathological liar, but more often than not maybe you agree with him on policy, so you’re willing to look past that. Fuck that character matters.
No, you just do not like being rightfully called an idiot.

It Trump is a pathological liar, what the fuck do you call Biden?

I believe Biden is very possibly a corrupt politician at worst. At best he’s just a gaffe prone idiot that is obviously in cognitive decline.

But the guy had the good sense not to hold rallies at the height of a dangerous pandemic like Trump. Trump also talked out of both sides of his mouth, and at times even undermined his own policy.

We saw that could not lead under tumultuous times. Most of the time while he was in office, the guy thought it was his job to pat himself on the back for everything. He was about as smooth as sandpaper. Do you want me to post a transcript of one of his word salad speeches to embarrass you on what kind of idiot you support?

How many people got COVID because of his rallies?

Examples of him undermining his own policies please. You are spitting into the wind.

So you think Hillary or Biden would have been a better choice? If so you are a moron.

Life was good under Trump. Under Biden, I am dirt-floor poor thanks to his policies.
 
Yup...trump chose nuts like Oz and Lake. Trump will blow the Georgia run off....again.
Enough with your FAKE NEWS.

Trump didn't blow Georgia, McConnel did. Biden offer GA voters a $2,000 government check bribe to vote Dem and McConnel ran to the microphones to tell GA voters he wouldn't give them a cent. Trump called idiot McConnel out on that stupid move.

There facts vs your fake news.

He undermined his policies all the time by speaking out of both sides of his mouth. During his shutdowns he kept on saying we have to open up. He kept on pushing Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID against the recommendation of the people he put in charge. He kept on giving people false hope saying stupid things like he’s hoping for packed church’s on Easter.

Most importantly he didn’t have any compassion for the families affected by COVID.

I don’t know why you blame Biden for you being poor. The inflation that we’re seeing now has been decades in the making. The president doesn’t equal the economy. Fiscal policy is not as important as how corporations perform and the fed’s monetary policy.
