well, now that the dust has settled, looks like the ’22 elections are on ice. As should be Mr. Trump. With Walker’s loss to Warnock, I read that the Dems successfully defended all their up-for-grabs Senate seats – for the first time since 1934. That’s almost a century, folks. (Thank God they didn’t EQUAL ’34, back then they not only defended they won an additional 12 seats.)<\/p>\n

Everyone “knew” the high inflation, escalating gas prices, and ineffectiveness of the Biden administration overseas would lead to a “red tide” which would ‘Bama’s look like pondwater.\u00a0 Two things helped kill that: the Supreme Court and Trump. Believe someone here said he endorsed over 300 candidates and most won? I’d like to see where… on the national level, seems like all the major candidates for Senate and most for the House lost or only held on by the skin of their teeth, even in supposedly ‘safe’ precincts..<\/p>\n

While Democrats celebrate their 51st seat in the upper chamber, Karl Rove, a veteran GOP strategist and Fox News contributor, says the Republican loss was avoidable.<\/p>\n

“It shouldn’t have been,” Rove told Fox News Digital. “We had a terrible candidate who was well-meaning but plagued with a lot of scandal and was not particularly good on the campaign trail.”<\/p>\n

The Republicans’ loss in the Peach State boils down to poor candidate quality at the hands of former President Donald Trump, according to Rove.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m gonna agree with Rove. Trump’s main virtue in ’16 was that he was not Hillary, just as in ’20 Biden wasn’t Trump. Having never been a Trump fan (think I posted as far back as ’15 that despite speeches, Trump was only out for Trump, and I still believe that today) maybe I am somewhat biased. But I will be shocked if he does win the candidacy, and more shocked if he wins again. More likely he will fracture the Republican Party further if not outright kill it. I think too many “rigged election” allegations have gone unproven other than in the court of\u00a0 scuttlebutt to take his style of “I wuz robbed” seriously.<\/p>\n

I mentioned the Court – while I think overturning Roe v. Wade was right, it opened the door to too many legislatures trying to effectively outlaw all abortion. Not a smart move – there is such a thing as a medically or morally necesary abortion, and in too many cases that was ignored, which gave the bleeding heart Dems a hook to hang their campaigns on.\u00a0 Not saying they should take the decision back – there are bad decisions which need to go away (anyone remember Dred Scott?) but perhaps a more nuanced decision mentioning needing some avenue for some abortions would have been wiser.<\/p>\n

Strictly just my opinion.\u00a0 Torches and pitchforks available at the door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
