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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
