Why are we blaming Trump for not spending more? Where was the RNC? What about Mitch McConnell?
Thank you
@LilLamb for asking this. Hopefully, when emotions subside, more questions will be asked, including --
What was the Washington GOP doing? Why did McConnell play whack-a-mole with campaign dollars and support multiple times, including pulling ads from competitive markets? For instance, why did he transfer money from Blake Masters to Lisa Murkowski?
Did McConnell approve going public with the proposal to ban abortion at the national level after the Dobbs decision, handing the democrats a reason to run on the most divisive issue of the past 50 years? BTW, what was the GOP's political message on abortion --- other than a victory lap?
And speaking of messaging -- whose strategic GOP genius was it to ignore the youth vote that coordinated their efforts, mobilized and voted in droves? That meeting the White House held with top TikTok users makes sense now, doesn't it? Did McConnell and McCarthy intentionally dismiss this development?
Where
were McCarthy and McConnell---or their representatives? Trump held dozens and dozens of rallies on behalf of House and Senate candidates across the nation, yet neither could attend one in a show of support and unity. Could it be a failure pinned on DJT was more important than an election victory?
Who in the GOP reached out to DeSantis to publicly support, including robo calls, John O'Dea in Colorado ---- the one GOP candidate for the Senate to make stopping Trump in 2024 a pillar of his campaign? Does it matter to McConnell that O'Dea lost by 20 points or was the change in RDS's messaging the point?
What is RDS's relationship with his former mentors: team McConnell, McCarthy and Ryan?
