"I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP."

Wrote Trump, on Truth Social, 7 hours ago.

6 hours ago, he wrote: "I’m going to become a Political Pundit, both good and bad, on the reasons these Candidates won and lost! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

It's pretty obvious how this punditry will go. 3 minutes before that post, he'd opined on Greg Abbott: "If Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, hadn’t become a RINO in the last six months of his Political Life, he wouldn’t have lost. He went back to his original formula, and it wasn’t pretty! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

Lot of white space! But not in a racist way!

From Breitbart:

The [White House] official also told the outlet, “And a final note here: regardless of how today plays out, President Trump’s resolve to stop the Radical Left is only going to become stronger. Buckle up.”

Good.

Abbot was going for a fourth term. The Texas GOP is filled with Boomers. Or was.

Was I trying to say something with all that extra space?

Whatever. It's gone now.

Rubio had better be convinced to run in '28. And Vance better yield. We're looking into the face of democrats doing everything they've said they would n '29. It will take at least 6 years to get the senate back.

That said, as a Texan I find it pathetic that we couldn't do better in the primary than a choice between Paxton and Coryn.

mccullough म्हणाले...

Texas got Californicated. Thank Paxton and the Texas GOP. Even the football in Texas sucks.

mccullough म्हणाले...

Rubio is too short to win.

Achilles म्हणाले...

This sets up the 2028 Republican primary perfectly.

Shouting Thomas म्हणाले...

Yeah, it was about Trump. His hubris did him in.

Eric the Fruit Bat म्हणाले...

So Trump was the horse that got changed midstream?

Breezy म्हणाले...

Iran interrupted the economic recovery. If that could’ve waited until now, things would have been a lot different yesterday. Too bad that had to be addressed last February.

Danno म्हणाले...

I love Trumps' policy but not his persona. He always has to say something when silence would be best.

Danno म्हणाले...

Apostrophe misplaced

mccullough म्हणाले...

Trump is a lame duck. He’s got the freedom to do what he wants. Let him have fun.

Etch that shit in stone. It's gotten worse too.

One of the oldest sayings in politics: “The voters have spoken. God damn them.”

Trump needs to (1) apologize to Abbott, (2) stop being petulant, and (3) listen better to Susan Wiles. I’m still learning things at 80. He can too. Candidates like El Sayed,, Jackson, and Talarico should have let the Republicans run the table on the toss-up seats. Instead we lost all of them but Slaska and we may lose Mississippi besides. There’s a message in there and Trump had better listen.

If you want someone who fights, you need a fighter. Trump is a fighter. I am glad he is. Or are there so many other political candidates out there who would make similarly bold moves to back their policies while speaking only like Missy Mush-mouth?

Some commenters are showing they are only the fairest of fair-weather friends.

MAGA facing reality this AM, it will be ok. We are Americans.

Wait. Greg Abbott's a RINO?!

Losing Texas may be the result that shocks me most. Trump couldn’t achieve regime change in Iran, but he managed it in Texas.

This isn’t the last we’ll see of Trumpism, but we’ve finally discovered the limits of what the electorate is willing to tolerate.

DarkHelmet म्हणाले...

I will not miss Trump. He was a better option than Hillary and Kamala. He did a few good things. But he just destroyed his erstwhile party for years, similar to what Obama did to the Dems. Trump has broken Reagan's 11th commandment regularly since entering the political scene. It isn't the only reason for this disaster, but it's a contributing factor.

Trump has picked way too many fights with allies and potential allies in the political sphere. Bluster and ridicule only get you so far. Trump will be continually harassed for the next two years and the rest of us sensible people will be left to twist in the wind.

Assuming sensible people still exist. You're out there, aren't you? (I don't count the Bulwark clowns and their fellow travelers as 'sensible people' to be clear.)

Kai Akker म्हणाले...

Is DarkHelmet another name for Chuck?

I am the same as I have been for decades. I have freely admitted that Trump was my least favorite option among the Republicans in 2016. He surprised me in a good way by getting a few things done. I thought he was going to roll over for the Dems, since he is by no stretch a traditional conservative or Republican.

I don't like many politicians. In fact, I can't think of any living ones that I do like. It's always a matter of the lesser of two evils for me. Since I agree with the Republicans 50-60% of the time and I disagree with the Dems 99% of the time, choosing the lesser of two evils is usually not hard. Trump made it harder than it should have been. Water under the bridge now. The Republicans will either get it together and rebuild a sustainable base or they won't. The people will either learn what a big mistake they just made or they won't. I'll have to try to be nimble enough to survive whatever dreadful ideas get put into practice.

For a Burkean constitutionalist like me these are dark days. I'd like to believe the sun will rise again.

Trump was reportedly saying it would have been different if he’d been on the ballot. He was on the ballot—he just doesn’t get it, does he?

NKP म्हणाले...

RIP USA. Trump may be a fighter but he’s a really shitty fighter. Instead of calling his enemies names, he should have destroyed them - foreign and domestic

He had no one charged, tried or convicted. It was a target rich environment. He actually believed he could out-talk the murderers in Iran.

Democrats have no interest in improving our country. They are interested in power.

I suggest Elon find a friendly country and buy it. Maybe Greenland’s still on the market. A sovereign Alberta might be worth a look. Japan’s wanting to re- populate rural areas…

Trump pissed away his mandate. I’ll admit, he had a lot of help from the completely broken ‘justice’ system and the uber-asshole, John Thune.

The first order of business after the shit hitting the fan is to clean house. Make every RINO suffer. Strip all privileges possible. Do what you can to save the military from the alphabet soup people.



Paul म्हणाले...

No.. Trump was on the ballot... and now we will have more illegals flood the country, Dems try to impeach Trump again, inflation will hit 9% like with Biden, military will go trans, and well... expect Iran to get nukes.... those that hate Trump .... reap what you sow.

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ म्हणाले...

Trump urged voters to treat the midterms as a referendum on him, promoted unpopular candidates, and now seems unwilling to accept responsibility for the results. With little basis for claiming the elections were rigged, he’s facing perhaps the most difficult period of his political career.

The timing couldn’t be worse. At 80, he’s entering the final chapter of his political legacy. His greatest fear was being remembered as one of America’s worst presidents. Now he risks being remembered as the worst.

M Jordan म्हणाले...

I’ve been a Trumper since day one but I’m tired of his schtick. He’s flailing now. The madcap tweets don’t land. He got hoodwinked by somebody — I’m not sure who — into the war with Iran and he utterly failed to sell it. He was truly necessary in 2016 and 2024 to smash down rotten doors but he no longer will have any luck with that and the time, as Ecclesiastes says, for tearing down is over. We must rebuild institutions now and sadly, we no longer have the authority to do it right.

Listening to Netanyahu was very expensive for Trump. Plain and simple

Gosh, I just knew it would be someone else's fault. How did I know that?

ABBOTT a RINO? That's a pretty demented statement by a demented person spewing SOUR GRAPES c'mon man ABBOTT was biggest MAGA suckup running...

Hombre म्हणाले...

Time to stop the bullshit, Mr. President, and think about what can be done, if anything to salvage the Republic.

Lazarus म्हणाले...

Shut up, Don. You were on the ballot. You lost it all. It's time to consider that all this tweeting and weaving and ranting has caused unnecessary problems and resulted in disastrous losses.

Fool me 36 weekends or more shame on him. Fool me 37 weekends and more shame on us. A cease-fraud a week!

"expect Iran to get nukes"

Israel has nothing but its undocumented and stolen nuclear program to blame for that, and they know it, and we should've.

NKP म्हणाले...

He will surely set a record for times impeached that will stand for all time.

His best move right now is to congratulate the winners, scold his party establishment and start signing EOs as fast as his pen can move.

He needs to make it clear (without insults) that he is willing to work with everyone for the good of the country BUT if it becomes clear that the first priority of Dems is to punish people in the administration, real indictments (outside of DC courts) will be coming for many, many prominent Dems and their accomplices.

Hillary, Joe, Jill, Hunter, Nancy, Sanctuary State/City heads, jounalists, and the friends, families and attorneys and funders. Scorched Earth, Baby. Play nice...
