Real Reasons Republicans Lost
Take 3 (The third of three takes on the Republican midterm wipeout).
What did President Donald Trump get wrong? What led him astray from the wishes of MAGA and contributed to the midterm wipeout).
Here’s Liz Wheeler’s take. She identifies four troubled areas.
- The MAGA base embraced Robert Kennedy Jr.’s MAHA movement. It got off to a great start, then bogged down.
- The Iranian War not only flew in the face of Trump’s promise to stop the forever wars, but also jacked up gas prices right before the midterms. Not exactly smart policy.
- Trump promised justice and an end to corruption but he dawdled in enforcing laws against any of the dirty politicians or creeps like John Brennan and James Comey. The mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein case by Pam Bondi left a stench.
- Republicans advanced too many candidates of slender quality, like Darline Graham and Vivek Ramaswamy. The only saving grace: The Democrats will overplay their hand over the next two years. They are far-leftists, so they will get crazy and can ruin their party for 2028. But we must clean up our acts as well. Here’s more from The Liz Wheeler Show.
