Trump’s suck up duds lost an unloseable election

What the hell happened last night? The highly anticipated 'red wave' turned into a light pink ripple... at best.

The nation is still waiting for all the election results to come in, but enough has happened to start to understand why so many Republicans are waking up this morning outraged and confused.

According to the exit polls, President Biden's favorable rating is underwater, a majority of voters are angry and dissatisfied with the direction of the country, and more voters think Biden's policies are hurting instead of helping them.

We have the highest inflation rate in decades. Crime is up everywhere. The Southern border is a lawless mess, and the American public is less optimistic about the future than we've seen in modern times.

The Biden presidency, to put it mildly, is not going well.

There was an expectation among Republicans, as well as many Democrats, that all of the polling laying bare Americans' fears and frustrations would translate into huge GOP wins.

That just didn't happen.

The expectations before last night were that Republicans would pick-up somewhere between 20-35 House seats and potentially capture control of the U.S. Senate in an historic wave election rivaling the Republican Revolution in 1994 and the midterm thrashing dealt to President Obama in 2010.

Pundits, analysts and pollsters have been speculating about this for months now.

But this morning, Republicans are white-knuckling it to the end and a GOP House majority, while still likely, is not even a sure thing.

Congressman Kevin McCarthy's future as Speaker of the House, once thought to be guaranteed, is now officially in play.

The 'red wave' was a mirage and nothing of the 'historic win' Republicans were anticipating. Nothing.

This will go down as a giant warning sign and, hopefully, a convincing argument against the delusion that President Donald Trump is the future of the GOP.

Too many Republicans lost in an unloseable election last night, and they have no one to blame but themselves.

Trump's influence in selecting and endorsing candidates is undeniable. And those candidates did not deliver.

Senate candidates like Trump-endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz fell to John Fetterman, who delivered one of the most stunning debate performances in American history.

Dr. Oz cozied up to Trump early and embraced the MAGA platform. He ended up losing to a man still recovering from a nearly-deadly stroke about whom there are serious questions on his fitness for office.

In fact, nearly every major MAGA candidate and Trump-disciple lost or is likely to lose, with the exception of JD Vance in the Ohio Senate race.

 

In Arizona, Democrat Mark Kelly is currently leading against Trump-endorsed Blake Masters.

In New Hampshire, Democrat Maggie Hassan defeated conspiracy-spouting Don Boluc.

All the results in Georgia are still unclear, but Trump-backed Senate candidate Hershel Walker is trailing Democrat Rapheal Warnock, while Republican Governor Brian Kemp, who was insulted and belittled by Trump, sailed to easy victory.

There is a simple and easy conclusion to draw from this.

Trump's MAGA is cancer and it is killing my party. And this should be the final nail in his coffin.

President Trump is no kingmaker, in fact, he is the opposite. He seems to have a knack for picking losing candidates.

That may be because it is more important to Trump, the narcissist, that candidates suck up to him, kiss his ring and vomit up his talking points, instead of running sincere campaigns that connect with voters in an authentic way.
