I expected Republicans to win competitive governorships, the House easily and be favored to win the Senate.
First we actually lost nearly every fucking single competitive governor race.
I am stunned that we lost all of these so called competitive governor races: Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kansas, New Mexico, Maine, Oregon.
I thank God that we somehow won governorships in Iowa, Ohio, Texas, Georgia and did amazing in the Florida governor race.
Kari Lake might even lose. I am livid. How the fuck does this happen?
We lost congressional house districts today in places that I never thought we would lose this year. We lost tossup congress races in fucking Ohio.
The Senate is a nightmare. Oz lost to Fetterman without the Dems even stopping the count and flooding it with mail in ballots.
Dems likely going to keep the Senate
We barely flip the House at this rate. I swear if we somehow fail to flip the House.
Today was worse than 2020.
I thank God that in my state, Texas, Republicans atleast won every statewide race.
Ronna McDaniel, Rick Scott, Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump all fucked up massively with messaging, candidate selection and cohesion.
The impact of the repeal of Roe v Wade, 1/6, Trump's shitty primary picks and woke college educated whites turning out massively harmed us so much.
Many new conservative populist candidates in the house sadly lost by a sizable margin.
Look at John Gibbs in Mi-3 Look at Bo Hines in NC-13 Look at JR Majewski in OH-9.
We need to run candidates that fit each district.
We sadly cannot run bona fide conservative populists in each swing district and expect to win.
Not what I said at all.
I didn't say run spineless McCains and Romneys.
I said that candidates need to match the districts and states they are running in.
You cannot run someone like Mastriano in PA. Mastriano could win in Alabama. You need someone like Youngkin for swing states.
I said we need to have candidates that are really conservative but still manage good optics.
More people like DeSantis and Youngkin.
It's retarded to bash a woman in a D+20 district, who is considerably more right-wing than that district tolerated, do we at least agree on that?
Romney should be thrown out because he's wasting a valuable Senate seat in Utah. If he could get elected in Vermont, great. Of course, he's a chameleon, so in Vermont he would be very different, but my point stands.
