It was quite head-spinning to see how instantly and gleefully many Republicans of the high forehead class leapt to blaming Donald Trump for the less-red-wavy-than-expected 2022 Midterms. And leapt from there to condemning his 2024 presidential run. But before lifting new champion Governor DeSantis to their shoulders, the Trump-trashers would do well to praise Caesar rather than burying him.
The Trump magic is clear in the Midterm numbers - 92% of Trump’s endorsees won their primaries, as did 86% of his general election picks. The nay-sayers claiming his 2020 coattails were toxic in 2022 - even though he had no coattails because he wasn’t on the ballot – are simply wrong. In total, Trump’s candidates won 224 of 241 primary races and 208 of 254 general-election ones, according to the Trump-hating Washington Post. People obviously like to vote for the candidates Trump likes. Rather than waning, his influence is on the rise. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/21/trump-republicans-elections/)
Also - if the usual suspects are using the 2022 election to condemn Trump’s 2024 presidential run, why shouldn’t they give him credit for winning back the House? And for the really big news that Republicans actually beat Dems in the popular vote by about 3.5 million ballots?
The Trump-floggers can’t have it both ways.

We need to stop dividing ourselves between Trump and DeSantis camps.
Seriously.
Americans can no longer out number those aholes coming up across the border.
Yeah.....Trump Ultra MAGA is just ‘leading conservatism down the tubes”..... per the RINO/GOPe/M!tch Brigade.
DeWho?
;-)
The only thing I blame Trump for is Dr. Oz. A completely terrible choice.
Most fault belongs with Turtle, the House Mc, and Lindsay Graham.
Baby murdering whores didn’t help us either.
Engineered “election”.
The new Congress haven’t even been seated yet.
It’s going to be a shitshow for two years here.
It will sort itself out.
Trump will be the nominee. And win. Like he did in 2020.
“It will sort itself out.”
One can only hope.
My fear is the rhetoric from both opposing camps will get out of hand to the point that which ever is nominated and runs in 2024, some of those in the opposing camp will be turned off to voting/supporting the nominee POTUS RNC candidate.
*shrug*
I am not entirely convinced it is healthy for the party, but that is just me. And I don’t know much. Just concerned.
And The Backstab Party was responsible for backstabbing Sarah Palin, Kelly Tshibaka, Blake Masters, Kari Lake, John Gibbs, Herschel Walker, the New Hampshire US Senate seat and others.
More Republicans may be voting, but at the conclusion of the counting, there seems to be more votes for Democrats.
Must have something to do with modern Math.
All at the behest of The M!tch Brigade.
Its healthy.
If we cant talk hard about stuff and defend it, we need to pack it in and drop our balls off in the garbage can by the exit.
Things need airing out and being frank about things now will force needed comversations soomer rather than later.
W’s Fuzzy Math.
We’re paying the price, today.
RE: 3.5 Million More Americans Voted Republican in the Midterms So Go Ahead - Blame Trump
Well, 12 Million MORE Americans voted for Trump in 2020, yet, apparently/sarc even more Americans voted for Joe Biden... go figure ( or did they?)
Understood.
I knew they were up to no good when they pushed common core math.
Great article!!!!!
