re: So was Roe V Wade what really prevented a Red Wave

Right. The real reason republicans lose is because they have very few rallying points or core convictions. Abortion is one of the only ones. Most republicans run on “ vote for me I’m not a democrat” meanwhile the other side is almost totally united in their core messaging and convictions. When you do get a repub that has solid messaging and core convictions they win. People seek leadership and leaders cast vision.
