End of the Trump era?
Some experts claimed that Trump’s choice of candidates was a major reason for the GOP’s subpar performance. They cite the loss of Dr. Oz to severely cognitively impaired John Fetterman to demonstrate their point. They feel Trump incorrectly endorsed celebrity Doctor Oz; perhaps a principled conservative and a Pennsylvania local would have served better. They claim that the underperforming of the GOP is proof that Trump's era has passed. They claim he should gracefully step aside and allow Ron DeSantis to be the nominee in 2024. They claim Trump lacks discipline, has too much baggage, and polarizes people with his rhetoric.

    "~~too many clueless people" is a theory I heard Sean Hannity come up with on my car radio.
    Hannity opined that lots and lots of Democrats did not know squat about Fetterman save for that loony ogre having a D beside his name. Thinking of my lib brother up in Delaware, yeah, that strikes me as a realistic view.
    Dr. Oz did not strike me dino as all that appealing anyway save for depriving the doofus Dems a Senate seat.
    And Oz sure ain't a DeSantis who I'm sure overwhelmingly beat the cheat for the election fraud I'm certain transpired up to some point even in Florida.
    As for that deranged Fetterman wanting flush hordes of dangerous felons out of prisons to the point of even putting convicted murderers back on the streets, remember he only has one vote along with his Senate seat.
    Me dino may be wrong but I don't think he will get much support with that even from other dingbat Dems.
    Did you know that a fleeing felon attempting a prison escape here in Alabama is considered so dangerous to the public that a tower officer can legally shoot him in the back? The only requirement is to first fire a warning shot.
    Only one time during my 21-year career did I have to do that. Fortunately, that one shot was all I had to fire when I next lined up my sights on his back. That inmate had sense enough to freeze.

    In Missouri, Trump did not endorse Billy Long for R Senate candidate and made a fuzzy statement that could have been interpreted as an endorsement for either Hartzler or Schmitt. Eric Schmitt won the primary and went on to win the Senate replacing Blunt's seat. The fact that R's won does not change the principle. Long was one of the first politicians to endorse Trump and was consistently conservative. So much for Trump's loyalty.

    I never liked that OZ. spent too much time with Oprah. Trump has really gone a bridge too far and I am swaying towards DeSantis now. Trump was poorly treated and if supported by the GOP, he would have been even more successful. He was and is an arrogant ass but all of them are, it was just on display with Trump. It is a real shame. He could have been the best president so far in the 21st century. But the GOP and his own arrogance has really hampered that.

    I didn't like the overconfidence I saw or heard (I get my on-the-air news mainly from radio); the remarks that the Democrats were going to be swept out, etc. I don't like overconfidence, especially on my own side, because it's not smart. Rather than proclaiming victory in advance, it's better first to go in and get it.

    If you think you have nothing, you have nothing to lose by supporting flawed ideology. Maybe more time should be spent explaining to Americans who think they "have nothing" what they are going to lose.

    The left WANTS severely mentally impaired puppets like Buydem. They are easy and cheap to control.
    With the election count done with easy to manipulate machines they have their wish.
