Like did any one of them that lost actually have a good strategy and it just ran into a true buzz saw?

Collins didn’t do jack shite to earn votes here, it felt like Rick Jackson thought this was 1980 or something other than his 30 text a day which were stupid and pointless at that level.

Grahams disaster of a sister tried to win on his last name.

Vivek spent most of his time attacking his voters and then ran a dumb personal attack ad in a rust belt state.

How did we get from 2024 with Trump and Kirk laying out a blue print to win to 2026 we have the VP saying yes I know all these guys failed you but trust us we are better than Dems?

Is there not an ounce of creativity in the top of the party since Kirk was killed by the left? Didn’t see much get out to vote hustlers like Scott Presler did to deliver PA.

I get that being in power and running on that is slightly different than being out of power trying to get it, but to be so arrogant as to think we don’t need to meet our voters or even really try. Deploy the same tactics that won 24 and just adjust to answer to voter concerns on the broken promises and other shite.

It’s embarrassing that no one has been tossed into the unemployment line after what we saw Tuesday.

She basically fell into her win. I was going to include her since she just barely eked out what should have been a 15-20 point beat down.

I think she pulled sort of the Biden basement strategy just vote for me because Trump
Said so and it barely worked in a very deep red state.

Republicans ran shite campaigns all over the map. Spencer Pratt ran a good campaign in Los Angeles back in spring

I’m even worried about La governor race next year.

Yea Pratt ran that in the spring and did all he could.

Feels like every race we lost last night was due to a terrible candidate or due to just an outright pathetic campaign or both.

The Republican leadership just let the Dems C team put on a full on curb stomping. None of them were unbeatable with proper candidate and even more important an actual campaign that didn’t believe just having an R next to a name was going to win.

The Dems are a long way off from having a prime James carville make a campaign. It’s now an extremely fat bitch from commie Texas and she sat on the republicans on Tuesday.

You could tell a year ago this deal was coming....TRUMP even noted a few times it was going to be tough....

Bottom Line: REPS are pussies!

The Republican candidates had no chance thanks to the last two years of Trump.

You really think that it was a historic Blue Wave because candidates didn't run a good campaign?

We had far too many refuse to debate. It almost cost a few and lost it for others.

Turns out "be afraid of trannies and Muslims" isn't the most effective campaign strategy.

It's a low population county, but Herrera ran a great campaign in Texas. Solid candidate too, just low IQ voters.

Cindy Hyde-Smith ran ads of her walking through pastures and other country scenes. Very soothing.

Many of the lost seats were close races.

I thought Rick Jackson for Governor in GA should have been a slam dunk. He over-spent Keighsha Lance Bottoms by a ton and was endorsed by Brian Kemp.

His campaign as an orphan and foster child who made his way up to be a billionaire was compelling. I didn't vote for neither he nor Keisha but I think we might get screwed again with her as Governor. She didn't have a good track record as mayor of Atlanta.

She was almost Hillary level in thinking she had it made and put in little to no effort.
