I would put the Senate losses, not on Trump, but on Judas Mc Connell.
Well, we need to step back, take off the blinders, and objectively find the facts.
Once we have the data and the facts they lead us to, we must do something about them.
There’s enough blame to go around. Trump and McConnell share a good part of it equally.
It’s time for Trump to enjoy his retirement…
McConnell ran interference with Trump’s endorsements. He even pulled PAC money from one and sent it to Murkowski.
The idea that the utter failure of the GOP in the mid terms is all because of Trump is nonsense.
GOP is utterly out of touch, ran terrible campaigns, didn’t press its advantage at all that I could see.
Believes that just running “I’m not the other guy” is going to get you wins... it DOESN’T... at least not in places that you actually have to compete in.
GOP doesn’t know who its electorate is, and frankly hates what its electorate stands for and believes....
So they are ignoring the obvious. The left GOP couldn’t win a primary, so they decided to not support the winner. However, if it were reversed they’d expect to be supported.
F*** them!
Considering how the RNC didn’t help Trump-endorsed candidates might be the real answer.
I would say the refusal of the Establishment Wing to peaceably make way for the dominant MAGA Wing with ground support and funding did not help things.
In some cases, there were GOP politicians telling people not to vote for GOP candidates(Georgia Lt. Gov.)Government..
In other cases, poor allocation of money and other resources.

McConnell wasn’t on the ballot. Trump’s handpicked candidates were.
BS.
McConnell spent $45 million on Walker in the general election and then another $14 million in the runoff.
How much did Trump spend?
At best, you would have to blame both.
He has served in senior roles for the Washington Times, the Mobile Register, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, and Gambit New Orleans Weekly and has been published in almost every major newspaper in the nation.
A New Orleans native and cum laude graduate of Georgetown University, he is the author of the Mad Jones trilogy of satirical novels. He lives in Mobile, Alabama.
I love President Trump. I voted for him twice. And I’ll vote for him again if given the chance.
But that does not make me blind to his flaws. In many ways he’s his own worst enemy.

Yes, because if not for Donald Trump, the Democrats would be perfectly fine with relinquishing their power and objectives in a fair and honest election.
We’ve all heard it, and we’ve all probably said it: We want politicians to stand on principle rather than follow the political winds they feel with their desperately outstretched fingers.Even more galling than the hatred RINOs like Hillyer have for conservatives and particularly for PDJT is that when they achieve their goal of blocking conservatives, they don't try to win, but instead bow down to their RAT betters as if to say, "We didn't want to you to lose and we made sure those evil conservatives couldn't hurt you."By those lights, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) should be an overwhelming favorite to win reelection to Congress from Wyoming rather than trailing badly in the final week of her Republican primary race. (The primary is on Aug. 16.) If she loses, it will be a black mark against Wyoming voters, against her Republican colleagues who raised money against her, and against the whole Trump-right media conglomerate that has mercilessly attacked her.
As a tenaciously resolute and effective conservative who is obviously acting on deeply held principle even against her own political best interests, Cheney merits admiration and support, not treatment as a pariah. Before addressing the elephant in the room (her entirely justified insistence that the 2021 Capitol incursion was a major and dangerous transgression and that President Donald Trump was to blame), consider her conservative bona fides.
Murkowski was the incumbent and incumbents are entitled to Senate Leadership Fund money.
You don't have to like it but it's one of the perks of being an incumbent.
Georgia has nearly 8 million registered voters in a state of about 10 million people.
Yeah, that makes sense....nothing to see there/s
” an oddball with an arguably antisemitic past who twice in the past 18 months actually praised the manifesto of the Unabomber”
What?!
No such crap came up about Masters. Made up BS.
This article was RINO BS probably written before the “election” so the Ruling Class could point fingers after the desired wipe out happened.
Would Ducey have won? Maybe. But Masters was outspent something like 8:1 and still only lost by a few. Had McConnell given him the $8M he was promised, it would have very possibly come out different. Kelly isn’t popular in Arizona, and his wife is meaningless. She wasn’t even well known before the Loughner shooting. The sympathy vote is all over.
But now Arizona has a two Rats as the Senators from that state which is majority Republican.
How’d that happen Mitch? How much more money did Murkowski need to fend off the perfectly acceptable Tshibaka?
Trump’s mistakes are trusting the RINO liars.
