LOL, a reference to a 2 year old report that had no access to the information that the FBI has!  Bravo. 😂

c'mon lil' buddy... that was an inquiry led by Republicans... a report written {ostensibly} by Republicans!

How so?  Cite?
Remember, just before the 2020 election, Tucker Carlson claimed to have "damning documents" about Joe Biden that he just "lost in the mail" and there just happened to be no other copies of them, electronic or otherwise, anywhere in the world? Did you believe that story?

So that election wasn't fixed? How come the Dems only fix certain races on the same ballot?
Nice to see the Republicans win without killing any cops though.

I never expected the senate as Republicans had many more seats to defend.  However, in 2024 Democrats have twice as many senate seats up for re-election than Republicans.  You add that to inflation that will remain high, energy prices that will remain high and an almost certain recession in 2023, and with DeSantis at the top of the ticket, Republicans are going to dominate!  It’s gonna be lit! 🥳🔥

Come on Shady, you can't expect us to believe you don't see the midterm results as a yuuuuge disappointment.

They had a perfect storm of conditions, and the best they could do was a 6-seat majority in the House and failed to win the Senate.   Prices of everything are through the roof, the economy is a disaster and they're taking on a guy named Sleepy Joe and they still couldn't win the Senate.  Sleepy Joe is apparently the first President in 20 years to not lose the senate in his first term.

Is it because people really like Sleepy Joe? Is Sleepy Joe really that good?

No, it's just that the alternative your team offered just suuuuuucks.

Republicans got crushed by voters under 40, and crushed by unmarried women, and they're coming up with solutions like "we should look at raising the voting age" and "put a ring on it, fellas, so that there aren't so many single women voting against us!" 

What a bunch of morons.

Don't let him gaslight you with this "durrr I never expected the senate" stuff.

Speaking of elections, it looks like the mid term is going to be a complete repudiation of Democrat/woke policies.  Republicans are going to have a majority in the house, senate and pick up legislatures and governors in several states.

They managed to take the House, which was a given because of racial gerrymandering, and flopped otherwise. I think the issue is not enough candidates poised with enough guns and didn't talk enough about banning books with queer characters in them, they need to make that the centrepiece in 2024.

The republicans are planning on doing a 'post-mortem' following a disappointing 2022 midterm, where they failed to make significant headway against the democrats (barely getting a win in the house, but also losing control of the government in a few states, and possibly losing a senate seat).

From: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-election/gop-conduct-post-election-audit-disappointing-midterms-rcna59265
...the Republican National Committee is moving forward with a new post-election audit designed to examine the GOP’s underwhelming performance... Ten years have passed since the RNC last commissioned a post-election audit. The “Growth and Opportunity Project” of 2013 ultimately called on Republicans to adopt a more inclusive and welcoming tone, while embracing a more forgiving position on immigration.... Trump’s allies are expected to play an active role in the upcoming review.

From: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/op-ed-it-s-groundhog-day-for-the-gop-failure-after-defeat-is-becoming-a-republican-hallmark/ar-AA14KB9i?ocid=EMMX&cvid=85081806debe495ea3f0ba44785a0ad7
This time, the review will be spearheaded by a “Republican Party Advisory Council” featuring Kellyanne “alternative facts” Conway and failed Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters.

I guess the big question is.... Why bother?

First of all, the question about "why they are doing poorly" is pretty obvious... they turned the party over to a bunch of crazies (like Stubby McBonespurs, Greene, Deathsantis, etc.), which pissed off a lot of people, and then enacted unpopular policies (like forcing 10 year old **** victims to give birth to the babies of their attacker), which pissed off even more people. And strangely enough, giving tax cuts to millionaires didn't improve their popularity. Give me a bar napkin and a sharpie and I can write their report about why they are doing poorly for them in about 30 seconds.

Secondly, why are they getting Trump people like Conaway and Masters involved? Given their track records, it is unlikely that they will perform a rational analysis of what went wrong or make useful suggestions. In the best case, their input will be ignored. In the worst case, they will actually influence the report conclusions (possibly suggesting the party needs to be "more Trumpy", the thing that seemed to lead to their defeat in the first place).

Lastly, Republicans likely won't listen anyways, if the report says something they don't like. The last report suggested they needed to be more "inclusive". Yet a few years later, the party nominated a racist con-artist who said neo-nazis are "fine people" and that you can't trust people of mexican heritage. And despite all this they stuck by him.

They need to do some soul searching, the reason they are doing poorly is not the Democrats.

they may need to do some soul searching, but it is unlikely they will do so.

After all, they are still the party where Stubby McBonespurs (with all the racist baggage he has) can still be considered a somewhat viable candidate for the republican nominiation.

And even after his famous dinner with Fuentes/West, many republicans haven't responded at all, and many that did used vague rhetoric (like 'no place for anti-semitism') without specifically mentioning Trump.

And of course then there is Deathsantis, whom many republican rats have deserted the Trump sinking sink for. But he's not really much better. Yeah, he doesn't tweet as much, but he was also the guy who was slow to condemn Pro-DeSantis neo-nazis protesting outside an event he was at, kidnapped a bunch of immigrants as a publicity stunt, and has signed a fairly draconian anti-abortion law in Florida. May be fine for the republican base, but none of that is going to win back voters they lost because the republicans have "gone nuts".

Bold of you to assume they have souls.

We must suspend the constitution and reinstate Trump because twitter agreed with a request not to spread hacked d!ckpics.

In another stunning rebuke of the Dems' woke agenda, Raphael Warnock has won his Senate runoff against brain-damaged serial philanderer and woman abuser Herschel Walker.
