The Red Wave that was deemed certain to majorities in the
House and Senate reclaim Turned out to be an ebb tide in the Senate to go down
the drain
The high hopes in the House for huge Red majorities fell far
short
A majority of less than 5 to the Republican agenda support
A Blue reelected to the House died soon after the election in Virginia whose
governor is now Red
Probably a good chance he will appoint to fill the vacancy a Red instead
Reds are burning the lights long each night
They need to figure out why the election for them did not go right
Already Reds are complaining that they are in the election process far behind
Early voting and mail in voting are examples that quickly come to mind
Hard to win when you have to rely only on vote margins that come in on election
day
When with mail in voting and early voting building Blue majorities that will
not go away
Reds had the issues of economy, inflation, crime and open
border that to the voters matter
But too many Reds often backed by Trump gave the Blues winning issues on a silver
platter
Claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump
Turned off Reds and Indies and rallied Blues to Trump’s candidates dump
Trump’s policies on the economy and the border worked but his ego and rants did
not
Voters forced to not ignore the ego and rants instead of Reds Blue candidates
sought
Reds are going to have to make a choice soon as Trump has his hat in the ring
He and his endorsed candidates will have the baggage that his taxes, classified
document retention and 1/6 will to the elections bring
Not sure who in the party can make him listen and accept
That he and his picks may win many a primary but in the general voters will
reject
If he wants his policy legacies to remain
From running again or primary involvement he must refrain
Oz, Bolduc, Lake, Masters and Walker picked by Trump lost
Not regaining in 2024 Senate or W.H. due to Trump is too high a cost
