Morning afterthought:
There is certainly a great deal to be said and done about the failure of the Republican Party leadership in grooming candidates and delivering electoral success for them.
Undoubtedly there will be a lot said and perhaps, in time, something done about that.
But the one thing that strikes me most about last night's events is how thoroughly awful, willfully dumb, and emotionally motivated the American electorate has become.
And that is a problem that will not be solved in one mere election cycle.
I am a little more cynical and bitter on the matter. My takeaways:
1. Seeing the extension and full incorporation of what happens when half your population is on the Entitlement Train. There is now a solid umoveable voting bloc who will not risk their gubmit checks from Uncle Sugar.
2. GOP underestimated the GOTV power of Dobbs. Hate to say I told everyone so, but when the SCOTUS decsion was made, I said at this forum that this would adversely impact us at the polls. Don't get me wrong I am Pro-Life, but the timing of the ruling was an election killer.
3. I grieve for our country when so many sheeple have bought into the MSM narratives around J6, Reproductive Rights, and faux threats to Democracy. I have come to the conclusion that half our population is utterly stupid
4. PA and GA should have been 100% winnable. The GOP needs better vetting and choices. Also, DJT should not be given the task to hand pick candidates.
5. The point that there are historically the most things going wrong at the same time in this country, and last night happened? Mindboggling. Just another reason, I wish we could split the country in two ideologically. I am f___g sick and tired of paying for the entitlement junkies and their driving us off the cliff.
