Ever since 2017…..all the GOP does is lose against Dems. Call it what you want but Trump backed and MAGA candidates don’t resonate with the country, especially suburban voters, especially suburban moms. Republicans lost in 2018, lost in 2020 (don’t worry, it was stolen!), lost the gigantic “red wave” that was supposed to happen in 2022, lost again last night. In what as supposed to be a spring board for GOP in 2024, Dems continue to thrive in elections even with Biden attached to their name. It’s unreal. The party has no cohesiveness and no direction. For some reason candidates still cling to MAGA and think that will propel them and then shocker…they lose! Rona is awful as GOP Chair and for some reason they won’t rid her out. It’s just a complete mess. It’s a cluster f***.
Also, Ann Coulter made a good point. Is abortion the GOP’s “defund the police movement?” I’m extremely pro-life but Dems are using that as a rallying cry for these elections and it’s working.
From her Substack:
“Tuesday night, Ohio became the SEVENTH state to emphatically reject the tiniest restriction on abortion. It joins California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, and Vermont.
For half a century, right-wingers have screamed, There’s nothing in the constitution about abortion! It’s up to the states!
We won, the states voted— and voted and voted and voted — and we lost. Every time. It turns out (no matter what they tell pollsters or their neighbors) the people LOVE abortion. They want no restrictions. None. Not the tiniest little imposition. Montana voters rejected a law that would have merely require life-saving treatment be given to babies accidentally born alive during an abortion. That lost, 53% to 47%.
Four states have put the right to abortion in their constitutions - Michigan, Vermont and California and, now, Ohio.
Fellow pro-lifers: This is the “change hearts and minds” part of the battle, not the “force Republicans to keep losing elections” part. “
