Crossposting my thoughts from the Jay Jones victory thread:
It really is baffling how the state GOP's in so many probable battleground states are so miserably incompetent at any basic politicking. VA GOP, one of the most useless in the nation, just got wiped. NJ GOP failed. PA GOP, despite holding much of the House and Senate in the state, failed to remove the judicial tumors in their supreme court. Can you blame this on Trump? Possibly. Were the Dems holding out on the shutdown specifically to gain ire and affect the election? I can believe that.
But what this is definitely in my view, is an indictment of the GOP as a whole. They had the country on a platter, a DNC that was divided and nationally hated, everything going for them, and they still fucked it up abysmally. Worst part is that they won't learn from this, they'll blame Trump, or MAGA, blame literally any factor except the fact that the old guard of the Republican party is as useless as the DNC's old guard. Problem of course is the DNC's new club is full of psychotic but politically savvy socialists, the GOP is saddled with retards in suits trying to emulate their paymasters and keep losing with dignity. The only, and I mean ONLY silver lining is that maybe Trump can figure out that something is definitely wrong and right the ship, because it was better to lose these elections first before the actually important midterms.
Probably won't, but let a boy dream, eh?
