I repeat - GOP candidates were successful, defying all poll predictions, up and down the ballot. It was only Trump who lost.
@Jazzhead What *I* find remarkable is you see nothing unusual about that,while I hear sirens going off.
It is a political "given" that the Presidential candidate is THE strongest influence as to how a campaign by the President's party is going to go. Presidents have "coattails",and bring along marginal party candidates with them when they go into office.
Yet YOU seem to believe that all the historic Republican victories this year are DESPITE Trump being at the top of the ticket.
Name ONE time in the history of America that has happened.
Name ONE time in history when any Presidential candidate has drawn the crowds at public events that Trump has drawn.
Name ONE time in history when a Presidential candidate has been so senile this own party had to hide him from public appearances,and that party won.
Name ONE time in history where a Presidential candidates children have been known to commit felonies and profit from selling out America to foreign nations,and that candidate won the popular vote.
Yet all this seems to make perfect sense to you,and it is everybody else that is wrong,not you?
