RGA/RNC/RSCC leadership and Donald Trump all need to look in the mirror and self reflect on how they are responsible for what just happened today. How did the Republicans blow a red wave year midterm like this?

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.

Overturning Roe is the type of policy change that pro-lifers want their votes to accomplish. Don't forget that the goal of winning elections isn't just to win them but to implements changes. Pro-lifers got what they wanted, even if it costs them future elections.

And anyone who supports rule of law.

If I were pro-life, and didn't care about the rule of law, I'd have supported the Roberts approach: just chip away at it and boil the frog. That way you avoid a backlash.
