I didn't read the news yesterday (I didn't want my blood pressure to explode), so I have no idea what he did or didn't do. Care to share or provide a link?

It's just that the candidates he pushed all got beaten because they were awful candidates. Fetterman should have lost - anyone other than Oz could have wiped the floor with him. Ditto with Walker. Never vetted him as a candidate, Trumpsters got him the nomination - that's now TWICE that the Trumpsters have lost the SAME Senate seat in Georgia.  Plus he won't shut up.

100% agree. Trump was supposed to make a big announcement next week, but the only thing I want to hear from him is the door slamming on his way out.

I think that explanation works up to a point, but does not explain, for instance, the New York governors race outcome. Lee Zeldin was a perfectly good candidate. And yet the utter disaster incumbent won.

From what I've seen the problem is white women, especially unmarried ones.  They overwhelmingly vote for idiot democrats, especially female ones.

I'm hoping someone is documenting what looks to be epic-level cheating. Larry Correia had decent evidence suggesting it in 2020; I hope someone is paying close attention this year.

Possible silver lining...

It's quite likely, indeed almost certain, that things are going to get worse between now and 2024; particularly on inflation.  

If the Red Tsunami had materialized, the Dems would have tried to use it to duck responsibility in the 2024 election cycle - it was Republican Obstructionism that made everything worse!  

As things stand, they'll have trouble doing that.  And 2024 is for all the marbles.

Gonna need some of that double down this winter, given the looming shortages in heating oil and natural gas.

Given that media was hammering on Kari Lake about "accepting results of the the election", one might be excused for thinking they might have had a heads up.

Yeah, bad cat wrote about that today--what sort of coordination would take place leading up to the election?

It's time to repeal the 19th Amendment. Letting women vote is a failed experiment.

Expanding the franchise beyond property owners, i.e. taxpayers was the original mistake.

The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.

To many voters now are vested in what government does for them.
