Trump Under Fire From Within G.O.P. After Midterms
Republicans have followed Donald Trump off the side of a cliff, a longtime adviser said.
By Michael C. Bender and Maggie Haberman
Nov. 9, 2022 Updated 9:53 p.m. ET
Donald J. Trump faced unusual public attacks from across the Republican Party on Wednesday after a string of midterm losses by candidates he had handpicked and supported, a display of weakness as he prepared to announce a third presidential campaign as soon as next week.
As the sheer number of missed Republican opportunities sank in, the rush to openly blame Mr. Trump was as immediate as it was surprising.
Conservative allies criticized Mr. Trump on social media and cable news, questioning whether he should continue as the partys leader and pointing to his toxic political brand as the common thread woven through three consecutive lackluster election cycles.
Mr. Trump was seen as largely to blame for the Republicans underwhelming finish in Tuesdays elections, as a number of the candidates he had endorsed in competitive races were defeated including nominees for governor and Senate in Pennsylvania and for governor of Michigan, New York and Wisconsin.

Maybe some of his cult follower's bubble will burse and see the light as to how much he lies.

"almost all won". He's fucking delusional.

(4,845 posts)12. Nah. He knows.
It's his operating procedure to paint everything in the best possible way, even when he is lying.

Dems benefit every time he appears. Going to get uglier and the wingnuts are dangerous, but his endorsement track record is blue.

I mean, can Orwell's 1984 be changed from fiction? When I first read it many years ago I thought to myself, this book is entertaining but unbelievable. Boy was I wrong.
