What’s it mean for 2024?

Trump kinda owns this underperformance. His hand-picked whackjobs and grifters didn’t do so well.

I’m guessing the momentum for DeSantis just increases.

DeSantis should warn Trump against running.

If the GOP can't win big with the economy in the state it's currently in, they need to change something quick.

And blaming this on MSM bias and election fraud isn't really going to cut it.

If they do move to push him out, Trump's reaction should be enormously entertaining.

I’m sure the wrong message will be taken by both sides…

Ben Shapiro is right on all counts I’d say. (Read the whole thread)

Overturning Roe was a gift to the Dems.

Trump was a gift as well.

Add to that the GOP offered up little other than 'we're not THEM' and it's fairly easy to understand why the wave fizzled.

Hoping we do take one of the houses. The economy has historically done better with divided government.

What's odd is how few Republicans seem to see this, or at least be willing to do something about it.

Actually, I can appreciate them not wanting to back down on overturning Roe - it's a matter of genuine principal to a lot of people. But Trump? That guy has nothing to do with principals, genuine or otherwise.

This is the one that bothers me. Dems throwing money at magats in primaries on the theory that they’re easier to beat. I find it irresponsible and cynical. Now we’ll definitely see more of it.

One of the comments put it well. It’s always apparent which side Trump is on. He’s on Donald Trump’s side.

If this small potatoes election was a price we pay to rid the GOP of Trump, it's worth it.

Whose fault is it if you take bad advice? Yours.

[LuFins Dad]

I’m not sure that they are even going to take the House…

In the real world, yes. But not in the fantasy world of Trump.

Of course it’s everyone else’s fault. It couldn’t possibly be otherwise.

Trump agrees.

In an interview posted ahead of the results on Tuesday with the network NewsNation, Trump said, “Well, I think if they win, I should get all the credit. If they lose, I should not be blamed at all.”
