Ok, fair answer. But if anything, I was underwhelmed on the "victory".
The bullshit polls caused the goalposts and hype to keep being moved.
Going into the elections "victory" was defined as taking the house, getting rid of Pelosi, with outside chance of the senate.
By the time the bullshit polls and hype had worked its magic you would think that taking the house was like having someone take a dump in your living room.
Senate Seats Won.
20 Republican, 14 Democrat, 1 Run Off
Republicans Won the House
53,461,741 votes 49,819,811 votes
How do you look at those results and say the anything other than Republicans won the election?
It was one of the worst results for an opposing party in the past century. This is despite a 40 year high inflation rate and declining real incomes. That's a horrible outcome for the GOP. You might be one of the few Republicans in the country that's excited about these results. The rest of the party is looking for somebody to blame.
What are you talking about?
In your case, you may very well be dumb instead of just pretending.
The 2022 mid term elections were indeed a big Red Tsunami as the Reagan/Trump/DeSantis revolution continues unabated. Key takeaways here are that Republicans won The House and nearly took The Senate. The Senate was set up for Democrats to win big in The Senate and they didn't. They barely eeked out a slim victory in The Senate. A quick reminder is that the Dems have to defend 23 seats in 2024 and The Republicans only need to defend 10. So, The Democrats are in deep trouble in 2024. The Dems actually had a huge advantage in 2022 with Republicans having to defend so many seats and Dems failed to capitalize. In fact, the incumbent Dems, for the most part, barely defended their seats. On The House side, Republicans closed the margin gaps in a great deal of districts that were traditionally blue districts and will eventually flip to Red.--- Florida, Georgia, Texas, Ohio and New York are now collectively, the tip of the spear as seats were won there and flipped there even in places that have been traditionally blue such as Miami-Dade and Long Island. In the case of NY and Long Island, this was accomplished even with the mass exodus out of NY by traditional folks. Florida also now has all of their statewide seats going Republican. This is something that hasn't occurred since Reconstruction. Even in California, Republicans flipped House Seats. One other item---Nationwide, Republicans garnered 51.2 percent of the votes for The House and The Democrats received 47.3 percent. There are numerous other evidential instances of the Red Tsunami but this is enough for now. Make no mistake----Republicans may not have taken as many seats as were projected, but this was indeed a Red Tsunami and now we need to work on 2024 and first thing is to try and get the voting to be conducted in a much more transparent and concise way.
