Trump Wrongly Blamed for Sup-Par GOP Performance

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/9/2022 3:39:09 PM

The Republicans had a pretty good midterm election despite what pundits are claiming. The GOP must win three of the remaining four Senate races to win control of the upper chamber — a goal well within reach as Republicans lead in Nevada and Wisconsin. And the party is within spitting distance of a House majority. But no red wave. A combination of better-than-expected Democratic enthusiasm and underperforming Republican candidates squandered several opportunities to flip House seats and give the GOP a sizable House majority in January. How did this happen?

Trump is the reason we haven't been taken over by the globalist cabal yet. So despicable to blame rather than thank him at this point.

Trump has done a lot of good. However, his immature attacks on Ron Desantis reveal a man with a seriously flawed character. And, be prepared for the fallout. His political career is over.

This article exposes the narrative that democrats and Rinos are desperately trying to push. They cannot have President Trump coming out of this election cycle on a positive note. It is important for them to hang every loss around his neck and ignore every win. Same ol’, same ol’. However, you notice that the Rinos never blame the lax election process in some of the states that were lost. Not much has changed since 2020. Rinos are adamant that there is no such thing as election fraud. Anyone questioning the process or results are election deniers which is a typical tactic of the people who refuse to admit the reality that we have seen with our own eyes. There is plenty of blame to go around but this knee jerk reaction to blame President Trump is just disingenuous. If you are going to blame him without any evidence, you must give him credit for what he has done for our candidates. Unfortunately, the same folks against him in 2020 are the same ones committed to their hate Trump strategy.l. If I could ask these nitwits one question it would be, if Donald Trump is so threatening and toxic, how in the world did he have one of the most successful Presidencies in terms of putting this country and its people first. He achieved more than any modern day President. The country was humming along. People were happy and content with the direction of the country. Inflation was the lowest in decades. The economy was purring along. People were working and adding wealthy to their bottom lines. The military was strong, not woke. We had the respect of our friends and enemies. Minorities were faring better under a Trump presidency than any democrat one ever. The are all tangible measures of not only success but resounding success. And yet, the Rinos did everything in their power to undermine him but were, in fact, only hurting the American people. Now tell me, what was so terrible about his Presidency? He worked harder than any other President or any elected official in Washington. He donated his salary. He loved this country and respected the working class. I just don’t understand what he did that was so wrong. He did not ask for the myriad of investigations brought against him by the democrats with completely make up falsehoods. Do you understand they were all based on lies and had zero basis in truth? So tell me, what was so off putting about him? Could it be because he exposed the lying lazy self-benefitting career politicians and bureaucrats who had a death grip on our government and wanted to do something about it? It certainly could not be because he was incompetent. So, tell us. What it is that he did that so enrages you?

Trump had no business at all getting involved in Pennsylvania. The Trump-Mastriano ads were underwritten by Josh Shapiro's campaign. The Oz indorsement completely split state Republicans and they never recovered.

FTA: "When it comes to Donald Trump, most strong supporters have an “accept no substitutes” policy. DeSantis has already gotten into some trouble with MAGA world, and they would be unwilling to transfer their allegiance to anyone else while Donald Trump remained a viable candidate." Yes, DeSantis did support a less-than-stellar Republican in Colorado, raising the ire of Trump and many of his strong supporters but it was the right thing to do in order to bolster the chances of taking the Senate out of filthy democrat hands. One thing that I noticed last night and today, looking at the US election maps for the various races, it appears that in many states where there was one or more third party candidates, mostly libertarian, those votes were greater than the margin of loss to the democrats. It is doubtful that libertarian voters would vote for democrats, so it is reasonable to assume those voters siphoned votes away from Republicans, with the effect of boosting democrats enough to win, election irregularities or not. Equating all Republicans not named Trump to RINOs is just as foolhardy as voting libertarian, knowing that your vote will only help democrats but last night, on these pages, I saw posters avowing that they are finished voting Republican. It begs the question, "How did America ever become great in the first place in order for the Make America Great Again voters to make America great again?" The MAGA acronym, used to represent a voting block, dedicated to Trump, that is of fairly recent origin, whereas the GOP has been around since 1854. In the 1980s, conservatism became the dominant ideology of the GOP. RINOs, by loose definition, do not share a conservative ideology. Like Populists, they tend to swing back and forth between conservative and liberal ideologies. We have MAGA conservatives and MAGA not so conservatives, similar to the GOP. I do not blame Trump for the tepid Red swell but you can bet that if this election actually did generate a massive Red tsunami as was predicted, the credit would largely go to one man and it wouldn't have been Biden.

#3, as much as I appreciate Trump and respect him for all he did and tried to do I believe it is time for him to rest on his laurels and allow younger people to carry the momentum he started as best they can. There will never be another Trump but he’s almost 80 years-old. Conservatives must hold the line on our message and who we support but we have to move forward with a new leader just like we did after Ronald Reagan. We have to trust younger people to carry the country forward and, as we’ve learned, many are eager to do so and carry the American experiment forward.

What is so much more palatable to the middle about, "Florida is where Woke goes to die"? Trump's conservative, American, Constitutional instincts are battle tested. Not interested in changing horses simply to find out who the next "Hitler" is. The Republican Party screwed up a walk-over, homecoming game opponent. What this likely spells the end of is the Republican Party. They can't be trusted to not screw up an easy win.

Shockingly the news breaks right after the midterm elections: the 2nd largest Democrat mega donor after George Soros turns out to be a total fraud. Call me cynical, but does it surprise anyone that the news hits just after all that money was spent on campaign ads, and not a day or two before? Do you think voters might like to know that $40 million of the money spent to influence their choices was stolen? Sam Bankman-Fried–a billionaire of whom I never heard before today– donated more than $40 million to Democrat candidates and super-PACs, including providing the initial funding for the Protect Our Future PAC.

The Republican establishment is wrong to blame former President Donald Trump for losses in Tuesday’s midterm elections, Washington Times Opinion Editor Charlie Hurt said on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow. In a wide-ranging interview, much of discussion centered on former President Trump and his role in the midterms. Hurt said that Trump-backed candidates like Ohio’s new Senator-elect J.D. Vance and Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis were victorious because they ran strong campaigns on MAGA issues.

There are more shakeups happening among Twitter’s top executives. Yoel Roth, Twitter’s head of trust and safety, is out, and Robin Wheeler, the head of ad sales, reportedly resigned before being convinced by CEO Elon Musk to stay. The news was initially reported by Platformer’s Zoe Schiffer and Casey Newton, and was confirmed to The Verge’s Alex Heath by two people familiar with the matter. The two executives resigned, according to Bloomberg’s Kurt Wagner, who later reported Wheeler’s change in plans. Both leaders had taken public-facing roles in these still-early days of Elon Musk’s Twitter ownership. Roth has repeatedly posted on Twitter to try and assuage user fears

While I’m not a huge fan of anyone suddenly losing their job as it’s one of the worst feelings in the world, there was something cathartic about watching the Twitter employees that had been censoring and suppressing anyone who remotely vexed them get the axe. Now that they’ve been stripped of their power and kicked to the streets, Twitter has been a lot more fun, interactive, and far less annoying. While others’ mileage may vary, Twitter is looking like an actual digital town square and not a place where the conversation is controlled by people who have no business being in control.

In Shakespeare’s All’s Well that Ends Well, one character observes, “Oft expectation fails and most oft there where most it promises.” And so it was for Republicans on Tuesday night. What was projected to be a “red wave” or a “red tsunami” became—at best—a red trickle. By almost any standard, the midterms proved disappointing for Republicans. In battleground House races across the country, Republican candidates faltered. The GOP looks likely to pick up only a handful of House seats; while narrow House control seems in sight, the door has closed on a 2014-size majority. The Senate may prove even more of a disappointment.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who chairs the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has come out in opposition to President Biden’s renomination of an interstate energy regulator. Manchin spokesperson Sam Runyon said via email that the senator is “not comfortable holding a hearing” on the confirmation of Richard Glick for another term on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Runyon’s brief email did not elaborate on Manchin’s reasoning. Glick’s term on the energy commission expired over the summer, but he’s allowed to serve until the end of the year.

An old proverb says that the dogs bark, but the caravan goes on. In an updated version, Donald Trump plays the noisy dog as Ron DeSantis marches to victory. The Florida governor won a smashing blowout Tuesday by routing Democrat Charlie Crist by nearly 19 points, a margin that no poll predicted. He followed that with a raucous speech that was both a celebration and a skillfully worded test of national themes as he declared, “Florida is where woke goes to die.” And, likely referring to the fact that he won ­Miami-Dade County, a longtime Democratic stronghold that is 70% Latino, by double digits, DeSantis declared,

Instead, Tuesday night’s disappointing results for the GOP are raising new questions about Trump’s appeal and the future of a party that has fully embraced him, seemingly at its peril, while at the same time giving new momentum to his most potent potential rival.

Donald Trump is continuing to treat Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis like a political enemy. On Wednesday, Trump pooh-poohed DeSantis’s huge and historic victory by insisting that his 2020 win in Florida was bigger. “Now that the Election in Florida is over, and everything went quite well, shouldn’t it be said that in 2020, I got 1.1 Million more votes in Florida than Ron D got this year, 5.7 Million to 4.6 Million? Just asking?” Trump won Florida in 2020 by 3.4-point margin, while DeSantis won reelection by a 19.45-point margin. Sorry, Trump, I think DeSantis’s victory is far more impressive. This ridiculous, ego-driven pettiness from Trump has got to stop.

First of all, it will make it a lot easier to take a lot of vehicles off the road, and we have more money in the pot now already out there that we voted for than the entire money that we spend on Amtrak, to begin with,” he said.

The thinking is Mr. Walker’s close ties to Mr. Trump — who prodded him to move back home to Georgia from Texas for the Senate race — will weigh down his run while the Trump announcement also energizes Democratic voters and turns off some Republicans. “If he announces like they say, the second or third week of November, before the December [runoff] election, oh, my God …we’re praying that he does it,”

Democrats' strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle. All six of the Republican candidates who seemingly benefited from the meddling in their primary victories fell to their Democratic opponents. Those races include a number of key House and gubernatorial races, as well as the New Hampshire Senate race. Democrats spent more than $40 million boosting those six GOP candidates, all of whom expressed support for former President Donald Trump as a leader of the Republican Party or were backed by him.

In September, McConnell inaugurated the fall midterms by undermining Republicans in key races when the GOP Senate chief complained of “candidate quality.” “I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate,” McConnell said on Fox News just before Labor Day, the unofficial start of the fall campaign season. “Senate races are just different, they’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.”
