Tonight was a major success for Trump. Let’s count the ways.
Trump’s Four Midterm Successes
- Goal to get rid of Texas Senator Cornyn (primaried out): Success
- Goal to get rid of Iowa Senator Joni Ernst (dropped out over feuds with Trump): Success
- Goal to get rid of North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis (dropped out over feuds with Trump): Success
- Gola to get rid of Maine Senator Sue Collins (frequent feuds): Success
I cheer MAGA and Trump for these four major successes, similar to the loss of four previous Senate seats (two in Georgia, one in Arizona, and one in Pennsylvania).
I encourage more MAGA successes to remove Senator Lisa Murkowski and Senator John Thune.
Primary them all. Go for it. Primary every Republican who has ever bucked the Lord Almighty Trump on anything.
I hope Scott Pressler and Mike Johnson lead the way. Go for it. Lead the way to blame Thune, not the Trump.
We must purge society of all non believers.
Trump Does the Impossible
Trump actually managed to turn Texas blue. No ordinary human being could accomplish that!
This is clear evidence Trump has supernatural 8 dimensional powers.
Since Trump is always right, turning Texas Blue must be right. There is no other logical conclusion.
Trump works in mysterious ways.
Congratulations are in order even if we do not fully understand the Mystery of Faith at the moment.
Praise be to Trump.
On the Serious Side
I am not cheering progressive wins.
Being anti-Trump is not the same as supporting socialism. While I cheer the ouster of anyone and everyone related to MAGA, I do not cheer socialist replacements.
Long term readers know I bash the party in power the hardest.
Hopefully, Republicans and Democrats learn something from this election. I have my doubts, but Democrats get a shot, not now, but possibly two years from now.
If Democrats turn full progressive lunatic, they will immediately get my ire. Meanwhile, we have two more years of Trump executive orders to deal with.
Election Calls
I am proud of how I called this election. I called Kansas and Texas for Democrats before most others.
Apologies for the miss on Iowa, but I did not see that Iowa poll by AtlasIntel before posting my final Senate call.
I have utmost respect for AtlasIntel. I posted my final results on the Senate, then that set of polls dropped.
Two Races Still Uncalled
There are two US Senate races remaining; Alaska and Mississippi.
They’ll decide whether Democrats have 54, 55, or 56 seats in the Senate.
I suspect these races may split. If so, not in the way I would have thought at the beginning of the night.
Anyway, here we are.
This campaign was a referendum on Trump just as I stated before any votes were counted.
For my live commentary, please see The Big Referendum on Trump’s Presidency Is Now Underway
We need credit those responsible for this compelling debacle. That’s precisely one person, President Trump.
Trump wanted the election to be a referendum on him.
Mission accomplished!
Our institutions have held up. Now Trump, ironically, is a check and balance on Dem excess.
As for him: ride the personality-cult and fake-sales-pitches roller coaster up, ride it down.
It was a cute fever dream he was selling, real and durable as his meme coins. Time to tastelessly redecorate a nice golf club porch, and post old fool rants to a dwindling crowd.
Now comes the real challenges of redirecting this mess.
Snap!
The free world is celebrating.
