He underperformed down-ballot Republicans in the majority of the suburbs, nation-wide, FOR THE SECOND FRICKING STRAIGHT ELECTION. There were over 5.5 million and 5 million voters, in 2016 and 2020 respectively, who voted for at least 1 down-ballot R but didn't vote for Trump for President.

I've posted this before ( Underperforming). If you can't comprehend that then that's on you. If you want the numbers from other states that show how he underperformed, I'd be happy to give them to you.

This isn't something new. The same thing happened in 2016. In the Senate, Ron Johnson/Toomey/Isakson/Rubio/Grassley/Burr/Portman/Ayotte/McCain all received more votes than Trump did in their respective states. Heck, in Maine, Congressional R's got over 20K more votes than Trump did. Trump-ME ME CD1 ME CD2

In 2016 in TX, on a precinct-by-precinct basis, there were approximately 450K voters who voted for at least 1 down-ballot R but didn't vote for Trump. In 2020 in TX there were approximately 320K such voters (320,604 by my county). In Colorado, there were over 60K more votes for Congressional R's than for Trump

Trump is a terrible fit for appealing to these suburban voters, who are Republican and Republican-leaning Independents. Which is why they've split tickets the last 2 Presidential elections. That's why we've had at least 50 US Senators, lost very few House seats, and kept/added state legislatures, while Trump has gone 1/2 in the EC and 0/2 in the PV.

The election was stolen from us because Trump acted like a fricking jackass. This should have been a Republican MANDATE. All he had to do was shut up and not badly underperform down-ballot R's, nation-wide. He couldn't even do that. This is on him. He can go frick himself.

You establishment lovers can go frick yourself.

If you softies want to win in '22 and '24 you need to start licking the boots of Trump supporters.

It won't work on me, I will NEVER vote for a Republican establishment candidate again.

A lot of Trump supporters I know are not voting for an establishment candidate because of the way Trump was treated.

You are an idiot, dude.

Seriously, watch Rich Baris's Inside the Numbers show every Monday, Wednedsay, and Friday. He is a professional pollster unlike you, and has been breaking down Georgia and its voter files for months.

Who gives a shite about the suburbs? It makes up a fraction of the vote. If it were 100% of the vote you'd have a point. But please realize that Trump gained more rural, blue collar, working class, and minority votes than he lost in the suburbs. It's not a zero sum game. If you watched Inside the Numbers, you'd know this.

The voters who are blue collar, working class types will NOT turn out for traditional Republicans. So if you pander to MUH SUBURBS, you will lose the working class vote.

Mitt Romney would have NOT won Ohio in 2020. John McCain would have LOST Ohio in 2020. Trump won it by 10 points. Run a traditional Chamber of Commerce, free trade, tax cuts, wall street Republican and you might win back some of the suburbs, but at the expense of the working class which consists of a much larger share of the electorate.

Going after muh suburbs is a losing strategy, which is why the media focuses on it so much. It's bait.

So we should only vote for candidates acceptable to the ruling Beltway apparatus so they won’t steal elections from us?
