Golden Boy Tim Ryan only won 7 (Seven) out of 88 counties. That my friend is a miracle since Ryan was a Democrat running as a Republican is a Red state.

Sorry but the NeverTrump/Uniparty/Globalists trying to blame everything bad on Trump is tiring, and nonsense.

GOP across the country ran TERRIBLE CAMPAIGNS, and did not press their advantage effectively and thought buying adds and sending texts were enough.

It wasn’t... who spent 100,000,000 plus dollars to push a carpetbagging fraud in PA? Rather than putting the money into races that were actually winnable? Yes, Trump foolishly endorced OZ, but reality was the establishment wanted OZ or McCormick so hardly was this endorsement a major issue. Candidate was going to be one of these two even if Trump had kept silent in PA, if they had their way.

OZ WAS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE WORST, OFF BRAND, UNELECTABLE CANDIDATE THAT HAS EVER BEEN PUT FORWARD FOR STATEWIDE OFFICE IN PA BY THE GOP, EVERY.... EVER... And folks like Rove et al. were happy to tell you just how “electable” he was, and burn 100,000,000 on a candidate who could never win, EVER.

How many other close races were lost because you and your ilk pushed that turd?? And burned 100,000,000 trying to sell a loser?

Trying to lay the GOP’s failings purely at Trumps feet is bull...

The GOP Leadership is utterly out of touch with the electorate, and is a huge part of the problem.. and their desire to remain in power is all that matters, even if it is in the minority.

There is absolutely no reason the GOP should have done so poorly across the board in 2022.. trying to blame Trump for that is nonsense.

PA was LOST the minute OZ was the candidate... period.

GOP establishment is hopeless out of touch with its electorate and openly hostile to them.

OZ was the worst, most off brand candidate I have seen in my life try to run for statewide office in PA as a Republican. I stated it from the start, it will take a MIRACLE for OZ to end the day losing by less than 5 points.. and the end of the day he got 2 Miracles, Fetterman’s stroke preventing him from properly campaigning, and the establishment spending more than $100,000,000 trying to sell him... (to put that in context, they spent about $1 for ever $7k or PA GDP to sell OZ to the electorate, or more than 3 times the total spent by both parties during the last Senate election here).. 2 Miracles, and he still lost by 3.... Without Fetterman’s stroke Oz would have lost by 6-8 points easily.

GOP Establishment is as much of a problem as the dems... idiots like Hannity and Rove spewing garbage trying to tell you that OZ was electable.... etc etc... Reality is the GOP Establishment is just part of the political establishment as a whole, they have ZERO interest in conservatives or conservative principles let alone candidates... all they want conservatives for is their votes... that’s it. Once the elections are over, they are right back to padding their pockets and selling you out.

Then you have fools on here, buying into the garbage and attacking anyone who dares tell them the truth..

TO everyone who made the “electability” argument for OZ... You bought into a flat out lie, you were warned, you chose to swallow a lie, rather than accept a truth you didn’t like... Next time be smarter.

I’ve been pro-Trump from the start, but I was a bit angry with him going into the election last month, when he made himself an issue, rather than staying quiet so the country could focus on Biden’s disaster.

So, I was ready to pull the lever for DeSantis (should he run). BUT THEN, I got to see all the people that I hate start beating up on Trump, yet again, and there is NO WAY I’m going to side with them. Really no different than siding with the Neocons and Globalists on Ukraine...even if I knew nothing about the history there, the hell if I would ever side with Neocons and Globalists (particularly now that the Globalists are shutting down food production in the West).

So, I’m back to Trump for 2024. If the Trump-haters had kept their damn mouths shut, I would have seriously considered DeSantis...but not anymore, and no fault of DeSantis.

Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:

  1. Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
  2. Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
  3. Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
  4. Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
  5. US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
  6. No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
  7. China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
  8. US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
  9. Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
  10. Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?

Rove is such an asshat he makes me want to puke.

Exactly WHO else of these candidates in the Republican Primary does he claim had a chance to do better than Walker? Doesn’t look like any of the other candidates even stood a chance. I would have preferred Collins to have run myself, but he apparently chose not to run in light of all the recent shenanigans going on in GA, which is probably what happened with Walker. Over 2 million (70%) were mail-in or drop off ballots!

https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Senate_election_in_Georgia,_2022_(May_24_Republican_primary)

Herschel Walker defeated five other candidates in Georgia’s Republican Senate primary on May 24, 2022. Walker had received 68.2% of the vote, and Gary Black was second with 13.4%. Walker, Black, Kelvin King, and Latham Saddler led in fundraising and media attention. Josh Clark and Jonathan McColumn also ran.

The people that hate Trump do not understand that the more they attack him, and spew the hatred, the more then ensure he will remain the most dominant player in GOP politics...

These people are fools, they don’t understand the most basic fundamentals of human nature at all.

Trump’s main argument from day one, and continues to this day, as I am here for you.. when they attack me, they are attacking you... and for the most part he’s been correct. Trump gets largely attacked because he states things that his supporters hold true and dear... and then they watch the usual suspects pillory him.. showing them he is exactly correct... they don’t really hate Trump, they hate “me”... and thank God he is there to fight for “me”.

Every single attack on Trump just makes him stronger, and they are so blinded by hatred they just can’t help themselves but continue to attack him, often with flat out lies and manipulations.

And it seems that all of the liberals from New York state that were supposedly moving to Florida have gone to Georgia, or at least they vote there on their way to the Sunshine State.

We no longer have free and fair elections in this country.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bingo..... there is zero point in discussing whether Walker was a good candidate or not. Same as Oz in PA. The counting of the Warnock and Fetterman ballots proves that a couple of lamp posts would have won no matter who ran against them.

MoreBS from Rove and the GOPe. Hershel was a poor candidate who could not help himself. McConnel not supporting several Trump candidates took its toll. The GOP is dying thanks to the RATS rigging elections with no opposition.
