The SCOTUS decision on abortion was the problem.
The RNC spent $364,163,818
Here’s what they spent it on, https://www.opensecrets.org/parties/expend.php?cycle=2022&cmte=RNC
The dominate MAGA wing needs to make their case, office by office. Simply pushing aside others results in what happened. Walker was a terrible candidate. He was our Fetterman.
Hillyer is fanatical in his hatred of Trump. He is a gadfly.
He had a 83% success rate in the general - the highest ever. That was out of 254 races. Odd the media never covered most of them and focused on the losses. And the few winners they did cover, they made sure to emphasize that it was a lock anyway. There is a reason they did that.
Arguably the loss of one seat is due to voting corruption in AZ...well anywhere else demoncrats are involved too.
No, it was Graham’s proposed federal bill on abortion prior to the midterms. He stirred the pot intentionally to help the Dems.
A single statement: “Arizona should have been a relatively easy GOP win. Gov. Doug Ducey is popular...” shows how stupid Hillyer is. Ducey is despised by the Republican base for his feckless mealy-mouthed term in office, and for his lack of support for Republican candidates. Ducey’s career in Arizona is finished. As for Hillyer, he himself has been around politics for so long the stench of swamp envelops him.
Thank God it wasn’t all the turncoat RINO’s that actively undermined MAGA republican candidates
Exactly. McConnell is determined not to sit by and watch Donald Trump and the MAGA Deplorables ruin the RINOs and Democrats decades of selling out the citizens of the U.S.
McConnell was part of the selection of Hillary Clinton in 2016, working with Yeb Bush to take the dive. McConnell worked with the Democrats against Trump in 2020 and MAGA candidates in 2022.
Thank God! The eunuchs are finally back in charge!
So what if they endorsed Trump in 2020? The article is thoroughly one sided. Is Trump perfect? Far from it, but he’s not responsible for all the losses.
So better (moderate) candidates didn’t run because of the Trump effect? If true, that’s on them and reflects very poorly on their character, rather than Trump’s.
Blake Masters praised the Unabomber manifesto twice? Fake news!
Don Bolduc, an “election denier!” claimed public schools were forcing children to use kitty litter? Fake news!
That’s just a couple of the many deceptions in the article. You know what should be anathema? Any propaganda piece written by Quinn Hillyer at the Washington Examiner.
Wikipedia (for what it’s worth):
“Quin Hillyer
Born March 16, 1964 (age 58)
New Orleans, Louisiana
Occupation Journalist
Richard Quin Edmonson Hillyer (born March 16, 1964) is an American conservative newspaper columnist and writer.
“He unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for the United States House of Representatives from Alabama’s 1st congressional district[1] in the 2013 special election in that district, finishing fourth in the Republican primary.”
Hillyer (now with National Review?) finished 4th in his own 2013 congressional run and he’s criticizing Trump for not getting Herschel Walker and others over the finish line?
The McConnell (RINO) faction that controls the contributions meant for all campaigns was/is at war with the Trump (MAGA) faction. Trump knows that just like 2016 he will not get funds from McConnell so he used his contribution money judiciously going to MAGA candidates only since he will need it in 2024. McConnell refused money to MAGA candidates. Anti MAGA people are pro swamp, pro corruption Internationalists. Does this include DeSantis? It remains to be seen. But he takes McConnell money and is being pushed by McConnell, Ryan (Fox), etc. Blaming Trump for Rona McDaniels failure to put boots on the ground to match Democratic activists vote harvesting they’ve been successfully doing since 2020 is ludicrous.
Yup, The Turdle should be held to account for not backing certain candidates, and for backing putrid RINOs.
Sober assessment.
I fear we have roughly 51% Dems and 40% GOP voters. Turnout, cheating, counting fraud are all factors.
But the indoctrinated young products of anti-American wokism, plus the gimmedat new arrivals, some from the past ten or more years of illegal immigration, plus the lifelong Democrats who learned decades ago from their mommies to always vote Dem in every election and the energized women who think murder by abortion is “a woman’s right to choose”———add up to the Dems winning many states in the next election. The media is all out to help the Dems and make stories of Biden and Hunter and AOC and other problems disappear.
Can we write off Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona now? All the nail-biting about “swing” states ended with Dem victories again.
The Presidential and midterm elections of the past years since 2016 were each “we can say goodbye to our American values and freedom if we don’t win” and ended in sorrow except for one small victory of the current US House election. Thanks be to God for that one.
Perhaps Republicans let Republicans lose to strike a blow to Trump. With Trump out of the picture in 2024, they can make sure they recoup their losses and gain even more power.
Exactly.
It’s amazing the number of “Never Trumpers” that have come out of the woodwork the past few weeks....
“GOP doesn’t know who its electorate is, and frankly hates what its electorate stands for and believes....”
This bears repeating-it is so obvious that I can’t believe any person who is a conservative hasn’t seen it in the last 2 years-if not, they are really ignorant or in total denial-the GOPe just wants you to send money to and vote for any vanilla RINO puppet they set up as their candidate-Romney-and Ryan- McCain-Jeb was supposed to be the next designated loser/puppet and they are still furious that he was rejected by those of us who aren’t RINO/Uniparty-so they kept money away from candidates conservatives wanted for congress...
All the RINO senators and reps who supposedly work for their voters just go to cocktail parties and kiss ‘rat ass every chance they get-they sell us out every day and need to go away...
