So the Dems get destroyed in 24, go farther left and do extremely well in 26. Most likely to continue to go farther left for 28.

The GOP did great in 24, awful in 26. What is their answer to the problem in 28?

I seriously hope it isn't go to back to the Bush/McCain/ Romney pipeline of politicians. But I fear that is where we are headed.

I don't think the folks that voted Trump in 2024 suddenly became leftists in two years. Those folks are still there. The problem is that those folks liked what they heard from campaign Trump and equally disliked what they got in 2nd term Trump. Hopefully, the GOP doesn't try to shift moderate but they probably will.

I agree the MAGA movement was valid at it's core. But Trump was not the right vehicle. But to be fair he was the only one with the cash and stones to challenge the establishment in the GOP and media.

My fear is the GOP establishment has just been biding their time since 16 and is now back to business as usual once Trump is out of office and the conservatives in the country are screwed.

Why do you think they went further left? The battleground states weren't won by progressives.

28 doesn't matter. Project 2030 should be your concern along with becoming an Islam nation. You lost your America last night.

We lost America in 2016. We might have a chance at clawing it back after last night.

There is no answer, at least on the Presidential side the GOP is done. No Republican can win without Texas. Texas is gone forever now. We just get to enjoy socialism now.

We need real conservatives.
2016-I was a Cruz guy. Didn't trust Trump as a person. Liked what he said but when he won the nomination, I got behind him all the way.
He pretty much broke up the Tea Party and so many of us (me included) fell for the Trump talk. He did just enough to keep us but he was not a real conservative.

So we need to get back to real conservatism and make the case. Lots of apathy in the GOP voter this round. Trump won't get them back.

Dems won based on nothing whatsoever. Just not Trump. That was obviously good enough for the slow witted electorate but two years from now when they've done nothing but impeach and have hearings and things are basically the same what will be the plan? They cant murder everyone they disagree with just yet

24 months ago, the country elected Donald Trump in massive numbers because they believed in his message. They have not received what they believed they would be getting based on that message. Logically speaking, the voters have told you what they want with their votes in 24 and their lack of votes in 26. If the GOP is smart, they'll actually do what got them the votes in 24.

You and I see this, I'm not sure the GOP leaderships sees it this way. I hope I am wrong.

Harris didn't help their cause, but the other election results from that night lead me to believe differently than Harris being the only factor. The big 4 is still a winning message, people are just upset because they feel they haven't gotten that.

The Dems taking Texas is something they've been working at for a couple of decades.
And now they have their replacement population of voters in place with numbers to try to securely hold it. And breeding like rats yearly.

Texas is one of the last huge population states to fall into blue hands. They now control a LOT of votes
Texas could end up being like trying to dig out a tick.
But, one man can sometimes make a difference, if another guy like DeSantis shows up.

You will learn the hard way. Come back in 4 years and tell me all about your party who sold out America. Or continued what Clinton did except, last night was to Islam.
