How are the Republicans surprised

I saw this blue wave coming months out. Trump was to damn egotistical to say yes the economy is bad but we are doing things to correct it. Instead he is telling people how great their 401K is doing when most of middle America don't have a 401K and they can't afford groceries. He was telling us how affordable everything is but yet we see the prices and know it's not true. Had he just admitted it was taking time we would have been ok with it.
Other than closing the border he had not delivered on what he said he was going to do. The run around on the Epstein files, the cuts by DOGE, no new wars. He was so arrogant it cost America and will for years if not decades to come.
He will be impeached or have multiple investigations against him in the next few months and everything he has accomplished will be reversed all due to arrogance

Hes been in office 2 years. The people the morons just put back in power have been there for decades. Thinking everything that ails you is Trumps fault only means you are a clueless imbecile. Seek counseling or read a book.

Tigerforthee I agree but people don't care. Had trump said hey we are correcting this it takes time to undo 10 years of stupid by the left I think Tuesday goes differently

They shouldn’t be at all.
When you break campaign promises and don’t deliver anything, it is hard to win.
Then dump shite choices to elect, that all tried to Biden basement the election and did absolutely zero effective campaigning and you get the arse beating we saw up and down.
But hey we can blame the young voters that didn’t go vote, no need to realize giving any amount of effort is required to win.
Anyone involved in all the loser campaigns should be sent to gitmo and never allowed to run any campaign again. It was an embarrassing failure top to bottom that should result in every person running the party being thrown out.

Double down on blaming the electorate. That’s a winning combination for sure. It’s a mystery how we lost with people like you leading the way.

with senate and congressional majority yet he accomplished nothing and made the daily lives of the average US citizen harder due to tarriffs and a war in Iran.

I dont think the competent American blames Trump for everything, they blame the GOP, who had total control, for everything. And they voted them out.
Will dems be any better, no. But, Americans saw what the GOP did and said "nope, don't want anymore of this"

It was the same when Biden was elected. The country was tired of Trump then too. Right wingers just have beaten the drum of denialism daily for six years. It won't work this time.

You act like Trump has total control over the economy. He doesn’t. A healthy economy requires a Congress to actually do their job. Repubs passed the BBB 6 months into his second term in July of 2025. That’s nearly 8 months after the election. He begged them for months to send him legislation and in return we got excuses about the filibuster. He’s been begging them for 2 solid years to change the rules and get on with the business of the people. Funny enough it’s the same rule democrats now say they will change.
Bottom line is that you can’t leave any President pissing in the wind for 2 years while you hold the economy hostage behind a rule that can be changed and then blame him for your failures. Republicans purposely tanked the economy in an attempt to lose control of Congress perhaps by a few seats but miscalculated and got massacred at the polls. Now they are trying to deflect their failures onto Trump.

Many people on here are in a bubble. Meanwhile, those of us who live in swing counties or counties that aren’t completely red or blue knew what was coming because we actually work with and interact with other people. So because of that, we usually get a better sense of where the electorate is at.

Take a step out of your bubble and talk to people. The economy is a mess - has and grocery prices are out of control, the job market isn’t great, inflation is a big problem, the war is a mess. People are pissed off, even some who voted Republican are pissed off.
The MAGA cult thought that everything would be fine because they believe that Trump had a mandate. He really didn’t have a mandate, though. The race shifted more in his favor at the end because of the “they/them” ad by about 2-2.5 points. Also, a lot of Independents who didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 and/or 2020 held their noses to vote for him because they couldn’t take another second of the Biden-Harris administration. That had nothing to do with Trump, and these people are not natural allies of the coalition. These people literally admitted in focus groups that they don’t like Trump and were essentially going to be 1-time Trump voters, even if he lost and ran again in 2028.

So explain to me how during Trumps 1st term when groceries were low, unemployment was at an all time low, housing rates were low, gas was under $2, crime was historically low and Trump even had a hand in ending several ME wars yet in 2020 Biden got the most votes for President EVER!!! lol
If the Iran “war” and gas prices were such a big deal this time around, explain 2020.

Correct, the establishment GOP (Dem loyalists) just said we'll wait this bitch out....and, hopefully we will get killed in the midterms and everything goes back to normal.
We get to complain as the minority party and our dem bosses will occasionally throw us a bone....and we will get to go to all the fun parties.
The American people are fricked beyond belief and are too stupid to realize it.

Trump was his typical chaos daily, he started trade wars and attacked allies, and his handling of COVID was so incompetent and damaging that it almost destroyed the economy. How could you not remember Trump's disastrous handling of COVID? Your post painted a fantasy picture.

Yep! Anyone with eyes can see the Repubs purposely tanked the midterms from day 1. This nonsense about Iran and gas prices is pure deflection. Voters put them in power with the 2024 election with a clear mandate to enact Trump’s agenda. They said frick it, not only are we not passing any legislation, we aren’t confirming nominations either. Most nominations are confirmed within the first 30 days of any presidential term but these clowns are 2 years in still clinging to “rules”. They didn’t lose because of gas prices. They lost because the base threw the party in the wood chipper

Those would be the people voting BLUE over the price of fuel with no understanding of how it was more lawfare than necessity used by the people they voted for.
Moronic to not understand that Obama had a longer rein of higher fuel prices during his time than anything close to the number of days under Trump.

Trump has run this country 6 of the last 10 years. During that whole time, y'all have done nothing but blame Dems for anything and everything wrong with this country, which makes what you said about people blaming Trump pretty funny.
