I live in Texas where we got some big wins but the rest of the country I’m confused. You have people who are upset about inflation and Biden policies but still voted for dems. He will keep pushing the climate cult agenda and I feel bad for those who live where winters get very cold. I truly hope heat isn’t an issue.
I really hope more states address mail in ballots. I guarantee if a democrat lost due to days of ballot drops after the election the media would be screeching. It just seems suspicious. Only people who have mobility issues or the elderly/military should use it. Otherwise I don’t get why votes can’t be counted by the end of Election Day. I love the convenience of early voting but if they made it one day I could take time to vote.
But anyway, life goes on but I’m honestly surprised. I thought red wave wasn’t going to happen but I didn’t expect this. Trans nonsense, climate cult, economic illiteracy, and politicians who care more about criminals than victims. I think abortion made some difference as well and the media but that’s always there. Should people on the right just move to red states? Or maybe we can ban lefties from moving to red states.
I remember a guy here in the Dallas Ft Worth area got mad because after he complained about conservative nut jobs in Texas (he moved from Illinois) I asked him why he moved here. He said he has a right to move where he wants and I said I’m not moving to Chicago and whining about the far left policies there so I don’t like people moving here and trying to change things
The path to victory for Republicans in PA used to be win the rural counties solidly and not get destroyed in the suburban counties like Bucks.
Mastriano got destroyed in the suburban counties and vastly underperformed in the rurals.
Yep the suburbs are now crucial to victory in any swing governor/senator/house district races.
Based on the results of the last three cycles (2018, 2020 and 2022): We can clearly see what type of candidate can work in these type of races.
Candidates with Trump 2016 policy but not copying his behavior or openly affiliating with him heavily can win. Candidates that are traditional republicans who I don't prefer can also win these races.
What doesn't win these races? A candidate displaying heavy affiliation with Trump constantly and/or copying Trump's personality. Every single one of these candidates got destroyed.
In this cycle: there were so many of these bad fit candidates who lost crucial races that another candidate had a better chance of winning.

Is it worth it winning with weaker opposition? What is the long-term plan?
They lost to fraud. But tell me again why orange man bad but democrats who defend blm terrorism good?
Is that due to people moving into rural areas?
