He said that MAGA aligned republicans didn’t do well in the midterms, not that Republicans didn’t do well in the midterms.
Historically, the house flips to the opposite party of the president in a midterm election, which it did in 2022, but not as strongly as it typically does. Additionally, candidates that fell in line with trump didn’t do as well as predicted.
When the president doesn’t keep campaign promises, it depresses turnout for their party.
That is true.
But we could always just try running a candidate that will put the work in, even if they don’t succeed.
The 73rd to 79th congress had full Dem majorities.
When moderates and republicans United to kick out FDR, republicans swept it all.
And I’m sorry to have to go back to when Biden was a toddler, but it’s been a minute since we had a president who wanted and legit tried to help Americans.
Unfortunately Republicans and moderate Dems united to stop that and move the country to the right.
There’s better strategies to beat Republicans than running the lesser of two evils, in fact, that’s the hardest way to beat Republicans. The easiest is a popular candidate.
