The 2022 midterms are almost in the books. The large red wave did not materialize, although Republicans did pick up some congressional seats and, apparently, the House. There are significant and important reasons why a large red wave didn’t occur and one large warning for Republicans. First, before anyone says Republicans had bad candidates, keep in mind that the Democrats won the Senate with John Fetterman and Sen. Krysten Sinema, D-AZ, before him. Bad candidates didn’t stop them, and this article addresses why.
It is important to remember that in 2010, the first midterm election after President Barack Obama was elected, Democrats lost 63 seats in the House of Representatives

FTA: “While it is true that the House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy offered an agenda – it was not known to voters. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell famously refused to provide an agenda at all.”
These 2 goobers are our real enemies. PDJT is going to have an uphill battle to unseat this mindset a second time.

Reason 7. Democrats will continue to cheat in plain sight until there is some penalty. I recommend a line of posts be put up in front of the capitol, and used.

Unfortunately clowns like Fetterwoman now are a reflection of about half the country....brain dead and eager to vote for anyone who will keep the free stuff and a government check coming. You tell me we’re aren't doomed.

Sorry, any explanation that doesn't put a big emphasis on cheating has lost me. I am sick of the denial among Republicans that the Dems have a well-oiled cheating machine based on vast numbers of extra ballots floating around because of mail-in ballot policies. For days, sometimes weeks, after election day "newly found" ballots appear until the Republican is defeated. This has been going on since Al Franken beat Norm Coleman in Minnesota in 2010. Republicans have done nothing about it, as far as I can see, so the Dems have been able to perfect their cheating into a fine art. I am sick of it, and sick of sophisticated "explanations" for Republican losses that completely avoid the subject. (And this doesn't even take into account voting machine cheating.)

What #2 and #4 said.
The biggest issue of all is election theft through massive ballot fraud (and conveniently malfunctioning voting machines). If not for fraud, the GOP Senate candidates would have won AZ and PA, and probably GA -- and we would have 52 or more Senate seats, directly in line with the "red wave" predictions. No doubt many House races won by Democrats would have also been won by the GOP. Indeed, without massive ballot and voting machine fraud back in 2020, Trump would be President today.
Exit polls showed blacks, Hispanics, and Jews all voted GOP in greater numbers -- and indeed that 5-6 million more people voted GOP this time than last. So how is it possible there was no red wave? The answer -- ballot fraud.
Don't let anyone gaslight you into believing this fraud isn't real, or that Trump lost because of his personality, or that Biden -- a decades-long loser whose 2020 campaign rallies couldn't fill up half of a basketball court in a high school gym -- somehow inspired a record 81 million people to vote for him.
We had better fight like h*ll to fix the election process (or, failing that, figure out how to out-harvest the Democrats), because when the Dems commit fraud and take away your votes, they take away your freedom.

#5 is right. Our biggest problem is Mitch McConnell; you talk about a well-oiled machine(!) Mitch has one in spades. He doesn't even put out campaign signs around the state. I'm quessing he knows it's a waste of money. Until you get rid of Mitch McC and his Chinese wife, we won't win because Mitch has a conduit to China and more graft money than Joe Biden could even dream of. The people of Kentucky just don't get it.

Hugh Hewitt wrote a book several years ago called, If It Isn't Close, They Can't Cheat. It's still true.

Still true, but the margin now is wider than ever. The Evil Left now prevails with 30% of the actual voters.

If the voting fraud with paper ballots and cheating voting machine manipulation isn't addressed or fixed Donald Trump will never see the inside of the White House, but Pete Buttigieg would without even having to campaign. It will be over at that point for the country because elections won't happen, we will have 'selections'.

Putting the usual dim voting fraud and cheating aside, consider this -
FTA - "Divided parties do not win national elections – just ask late President Lyndon Johnson and the Democrats of 1968. Republican infighting in 2023 and 2024 will doom elections for Republicans."
So, now what do we do? Go along to get along with the GOPe? Perhaps it makes more sense to learn the art of ballot harvesting. Seems to work well for the dims regardless of serious division within the dim party.

Michael “Ozzie” Myers, of ABSCAM fame was recently convicted of massive voter fraud whereby in the City of Philadelphia, he would literately DRIVE the election officials to their polling places, pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes while explaining whom he wanted to win. And the ballots were stuffed.
He admitted in court to several decades of this activity.
But Suuuuuuuuure, 2020 was sooooooooo secure.

#10: I agree. While voter fraud is real and is causing us elections, the bigger problem we have is the GOPe. They may be a minority inside the party but they are powerful. We have the numbers but they have the money and sit in powerful positions. So apparently, we are in a standoff. I refuse to compromise with them because they are the reason we are in dire straits in this country. They have no real political convictions, the only they care about it benefitting themselves and wallowing in the power and prestige. These are not men and women of integrity and purpose. Their goal is to bend us to their will, but I refuse to go along to get along. They know they have to crush Donald Trump and his supporters to continue to belly up to the taxpayer trough that affords them untold wealth and privilege. They know he cannot ever be allowed in the White House again.
It is especially disconcerting to know that McConnell and McCarthy are, once again, leading the party. In fact, it is the worst news. To see how these two lackluster fools manipulated the system to secure their positions is disgusting especially McConnell who is an unmitigated disaster for the country and its people. Anyone who refuses to acknowledge the successful presidency of Donald Trump and works relentlessly to undermine his agenda, is no friend of the American people. The arrogance of McConnell cannot be emphasized enough. Instead of supporting an agenda that actually made this country great, he worked during this election cycle against the President’s supporters when they ran for office. This man does not care if anyone does well as long as he does and he can do that regardless who is in the White House. He has perfected his political game. The corruption on both sides in Washington is destroying our nation. Democrat leaders are brazen and out in the open with their anti-American agenda. Conversely, Republican leaders are doing anything behind the scenes to undermine the proven success of the Trump administration knowing the American people suffer. I honestly don’t know why there hasn’t be an uprising. Both parties are in their own way eagerly complicit in the destruction of our lives. We need a real reset, not the great reset we hear about. We need the country reset back to a time when men and women had real integrity and our Founding Documents were the basis of our government.

Oh, good lord, this article fails to even mention what the actual issue is and that's mail in voting. Mail in voting gives the left a thousand and one ways to game the outcome of an election and that's exactly what happened in 2020 and this time around. If we had been voting 'the old fashioned way' using paper ballots at the voting station where the results are known and the election is a done deal the next morning that red wave would have actually happened. Republicans are toast as long as mail in voting (outside the military) remains in place. I mean, for crying out loud, why do you think the Democrats push so hard for these voting changes? It's because they know it gives them countless opportunities to cheat. If that's not addressed we are on our way to becoming a one party nation. Think Mexico and the PRI of years past.

Reasons 1-10: election fraud in all its incarnations.
Reasons 11-16: whatever. Doesn't matter as long as 1-10 are still happening.
You're seeing the Uniparty in action. Democrat and Republican are just labels assigned at random to Congress slimes.

Nothing offends me more than this after-election analysis that gives every reason in the book as to why Republicans lost, except the actual one. Giving cover to vote fraud ensures that it will continue. And, if I here one more time about how Republicans need to do a better job at getting their message out, I’m going to puke. If democrats are the embodiment of evil, then republicans are the embodiment of stupid. A pox on both their houses.

Sundance of ConservativeTreeHouse nailed it in his November 10th column when Sundance wrote about the ballots winning over votes in Pennsylvania and Michigan.(and other areas). Republicans focused on winning votes; the Democrats focused on gathering ballots. The ballots won.

I must add! If we don't change our tactics to gathering ballots (where legal, whether harvesting or ballot boxes) not just votes, it will be very difficult to win future elections. President Trump will have a hard time winning any of the Swing States in 2024 if we don't change ballot tactics!

We all know that Demon-Rat voters are brain-dead sheep, and truly will vote for any candidate with a "D" after their name.
But they are also wolves in sheep's clothing when it comes to violence and election fraud.
Unless the Republicans can learn to cheat like the Demon-Rats do, and get down and dirty in the gutter with the Demon-Rats, we can expect a few Republicans to win in each election (to keep up the illusion of having an active 2-party system), but the Demon-Rats will continue to steal the elections they need to keep the true power!!!!!
I'm guessing this is exactly how it felt in Germany in about 1933 or so...
