The Midterm Trashing of Trump is Complete With a Senate Loss in Georgia

Cartoon by Mish

Democrats Pick Up Another Senate Seat

On Tuesday, the Hershel Walker boomerang hit home. the Democrats picked up another Senate seat and now hold a 51-49 edge. 

This means they will not need Vice President Kamala Harris to cast any tie-breaking votes. 

Stop the Steal Message Blows Up Spectacularly

Trump’s stop the steal message played as well as nose warts and toenail fungus in a beauty contest.

His hand-picked Senate candidates went down in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and now Georgia. 

In Ohio, thanks to a huge monetary injection by Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, the GOP held on.

Let’s discuss Trump’s Scorecard

His cult followers will proclaim an 80 percent success rate but nearly all of those candidates were heavily favored to win. Trump blew nearly everything but layups.

Trump’s Overall Scorecard

  • 1-5 Senate
  • 0-3 Governor (counting Trump’s nomination effort to get rid of Brian Kemp)
  • 0-4 for secretary of state

Nearly perfect. Credit Mitch McConnell for the win in Ohio.

Herschel Walker lived in Texas before being recruited by Trump to run for Georgia Senate using an Atlanta residence owned by his wife.

In Arizona, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire “stop the steal” candidates backed by Trump went down in flames.

Brian Kemp is Georgia Governor although Trump actively campaigned against Kemp in the Republican primary. Kemp’s sin was resisting pressure by Trump to overturn the Georgia election.

In Nevada, Adam Laxalt, a former attorney general who helped lead former President Donald J. Trump’s efforts to overturn Nevada’s presidential election results in 2020 lost to Catherine Cortez Masto.

In Secretary of State positions, Trump-backed candidates went 0-4 in Michigan, Minnesota, Arizona, and Nevada. 

No Humble Pie

Q: Will this silence Trump or his lap dogs?
A: Don’t be silly. Of course not. Nothing will. It’s a cult.  

The cult would rather have Biden for 4 more years than accept that Trump himself is the problem.

Mish, the real problem in this country are establishment people like you. We like Trump because he fights for our country unlike people like you. Mitch, is a globalist liberal like you. Many of us don’t want to be run by a corrupt group of oligarch globalists. If you praise Mitch you are without a doubt one of them. I’d imagine you believe in the vax too. Good luck with that, keep getting those boosters. When we caught the virus we took Ivermectin it was pretty much gone in two days, but keep on believing the corrupt gov and big pharma have your best interests at heart. My friends and I are certainly nationalists, we love our country. Nothing to do with any hate or Trump. What did Trump do to you that you hate him so much? Pretty easy to see the liberals cheated in most of the past elections, just look at what is coming out of Twitter. Facebook and Google and others are even worse. But you don’t care about this, now all of us know why.

It was trashing of the GQP politics of crank econ politics-tax cuts to the wealthy and attacks on women’s reproductive autonomy which is an econ issue. The GQP was quiet and gleefull when Trump help them into power from 2017-2019. Now, that he is no longer useful, you all are turning him into a non-person. Now, you are flogging the latest …Ron DeathSatan who has the distinction to have more deaths from Covid 19 per capita than New York and New Jersey.
He does not have the charisma of Trump. He only talks to friendly media and barks at the other media all of the time. He will wear out sooner than Trump.

Anyone on this page actually expected Hershell to win? The votes are in Fulton, Dekalb, Gwinnett & Cobb counties. Atlanta suburbs. 30 years ago they were predominantly white and Republican. Now mostly black and Democrat. Even if Hershell was as clean as a hounds tooth and could complete a sentence, there’s no way he was going to win.
The thing to notice regarding future races for national office is that nearly all the major metropolitan cities are governed by black Democrats. The number of workers who rely on local, state and Federal spending for their livelihood is immense. I find it hard to see how Republicans win on a national level unless Trump can be sent to prison or dies. And he will do everything in his power to destroy DeSantis, who is currently the only one who could beat Joe.

Democrats were never going to allow the Republicans to win, one way or another. And I don’t think they’re too squeamish about using the “another” route. Remember that all the large districts in GA are under the control of Democrats, with Democrat appointed election officials, judges, prosecutors etc. Voting and vote counting in these districts is incredibly messy. Clearly those in power like it like that, because they certainly never do anything about it. If someone wanted to commit election fraud, it would be easy to do it in such places.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”
― Alexander Tytler, Scottish historian, 1791.

Mish’s point is that Trumpism has taken too much of a toll on the GOP, the angry extremism is pushing out moderates & independents.
Trumpsters don’t see it because they don’t talk to moderates, they repel them, instead they cling together in diminishing numbers and exchange angry echo-chamber sentiment and “deep state” conspiracy theories fueled by Russian propagandists.

Exactly. Trumpists have been fixated on driving traditional Republicans out of the party, by labeling them as “RINOs”. Perhaps surprising to some, making a party smaller and smaller is not a recipe for winning elections. Contrast that with Reagan, who turned took the Republican party from a minority to winning landslides by calling the Republicans the “Big Tent Party”, where everyone was welcome. His idea was that people could be Republicans whether they were pro-Life or pro-Choice, whether they favored increases to public school funding, or whether they favored vouchers.

Sad that no one in america is allowed to complain about elections when it takes seven weeks for some precincts to report. It took forty eight hours to decide last elections in Taiwan. Across the globe it is fraud to cure ballots, bundle ballots, drop off in middle of night and count tens of millions of ballots without chain of custody back to citizens. One person, one citizen, one gov id is law of land in Mexico, Canada, Europe, even Russia. But no US… because we name call in in echo chamber anyone who protests. And US uses heresay to get judges to cover up any transparency.
Mish and his helpers at FBI and fellow media call them “deniers, cult. lap dogs” or worse. But, it’s all just a fascist script written into the echo chamber… like the report this week of the FBI parroting Biden thru Twitter. And, all the rest of the media.
A Congressional Medal may be waiting Mish.

Larry Elder: Had Ohio, in 2004, gone to Democrat John Kerry, he would have become president. President George W. Bush carried it 51% to 49%, a margin of about 100,000 votes. But Jan. 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., on Jan. 6, 2005, joined 30 other House Democrats and Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., in refusing to certify Ohio’s presidential election results, claiming “voter suppression” in addition to arguing, also with no basis in fact, that the Diebold voting machines were manipulated to reelect Bush.

That said, my point to Denver stands, the districts that took so long to count were Republican districts specifically slowing the count process to appease public doubt.

Trump’s a somewhat reformed democrat. He’s a child that never grew up. He loves debt and he pressured the fed to keep rates too low during his term. These are the facts. Period. But trump also kept Hillary Clinton from being president, and for that one effort, which by the way, was yuger than chyyyyyna, every thinking person in the USA owes trump a debt of gratitude. Also fact. For 2024 I would rather see trump step back and support Ron DeSantis with a smart black conservative woman veep like Candace Owens. Here, you want to smile? Google the search terms smart black good looking conservative woman. It comes up with Candace Owens in big letters.

I never understood this binary view of President Trump. To me he is an unusual mix of characteristics. It seems to me that the most despised aspects of his character are not very important for a leader (the narcissism, the giant public ego). In terms of his actual actions as President he was quite measured, with an emphasis on improving business conditions and the economy, and avoiding the destructive and expensive wars that the Democrats keep getting us into. Based on his record, President Trump ought to go down as one of the finest presidents we’ve had.
Talking of ego, I think there’s a huge difference between Trump’s and Biden’s. Yes, Biden also has a huge ego. Trump’s ego manifests itself in silly Tweets and unnecessary word battles and name-calling. Biden’s ego gets expressed as his repeated doubling down on his failed Ukraine war, forever escalating the cost and the risks of triggering a global nuclear war. I know which of these two types of behavior I would prefer to live with. Biden’s ego is outright dangerous.

I voted for Trump in both the 2016 and 2020 elections. I do not worship Trump or any other person. I wish we could have a serious discussion without these ridiculous claims inferring psychic abilities to read one’s thoughts. Believe it or not folks, this is serious.
Having spent my entire life in the research and engineering world performing tests and analyzing data, I have zero doubt that our elections are fraudulent. I haven’t seen what went on in the Georgia runoff, so no comment there. One thing is certain – the U.S. will not survive this. There may still be something called the U.S. remaining, but in reality, it will be gone.
What Trump represented was a hope that the ship could be turned around. That so many are celebrating failure to do so disappoints me. However, this is not unexpected. History has shown that as civilizations become wealthy, the citizens become lazy and the rulers become more corrupt. The result is collapse followed by authoritarian rule. As evidenced by the Governmental abuse of power, we are no longer a nation in which the citizens are sovereign and the central government is restrained. I wonder how many writing here celebrating the demise of our country will soon be subject to ruin at the hands of the all powerful state?
Trump is just a man. A very flawed one at that. Still… At no point did I see him mandating anything.

I’m not certain of any fraud. I am certain that votes have not been proven. I’m certain it wouldn’t be that hard. I also witnessed thousands of people protesting about BLM, or some variation of it. Many of those protests turned violent and the message became blurred. 100% of the people I’m friends with agree that Black lives matter before and after the protests. It didn’t change much with them but I did see how Hollywood hires far more Blacks than Asians or people of Middle Eastern decent. Same goes for most companies during their advertising campaigns. I’ve seen schools and other government entities make changes too.
Then there was the protests about voter integrity. People honestly concerned that the votes are not being counted properly and that votes were not fraudulent. Also the concern about election collusion between Russians, corporations like Facebook and Twitter, major news outlets collaborating stories and being biased towards one party, and rich citizens of other countries like George Soros.
This major concern isn’t new. I’ve seen it on both sides.
My biggest concern is that nothing has been done to prove it. I don’t want to be told that it has been audited. I want to be shown the proof.

Interesting thought regarding both BLM and alt right, the voices of real people are drowned out by well financed disinformation, this leads to cumulative frustration on a massive scale. (Jan 6th & the BLM riots)
The Koch brothers channeled mass frustration 12 years ago by literally taking over the Tea Party movement and gradually changing it’s platform from a protest over big bank bailouts to focusing on lowering corporate and wealthy tax rates.
The NRA has brainwashed millions into the belief that gun registration/background checks is the start of eliminating the 2nd amendment, at the behest of gun makers contributions. Sandy Hook really happened, it keeps happening, nothing’s been done regarding assault weapons.
Dems, on the other hand, are placing far too much focus on LBGT and minority topics at the expense of ignoring pocket book issues, taxes and economy.
Most of us are mostly concerned with pocket book first, both parties are catering to minorities, Pubs cater to the wealthy, Dems cater to woke, leaving the rest of us frustrated and unheard.

And because the rubes are surrounded be a bunch of other rubes that have been conditioned the same way, they are bolstered in their belief as they recite the party line. And the funny thing is, they don’t even know they’re doing it.

“Having spent my entire life in the research and engineering world performing tests and analyzing data” I can imagine you look at the world in a very rational and logical way. What you may not fully comprehend is Trump’s mental condition as a severe narcissist. Trump’s hopes in life have always been fame, power and riches. This is a person who read about authoritarians from the 1930’s and liked who they were! You say he was our hope. But you could have barely picked a worse person to lead a democracy. What authoritarians understand is that desperate people will vote for the candidate who will promise them everything and that they alone can fix it. Change from the top down. It’s the easy (lazy) way out and requires the least amount of work. That’s the end of democracy. Democracy takes work and if you want change it needs to come from the bottom up. Yang et-al are trying to build a third party. Rank choice voting can give third party candidates a chance. A States Constitutional Convention can bypass Congress. Putting your faith in one person to fix everything is the opposite of democracy.

Re: “One thing is certain – the U.S. will not survive this.”
On this you are correct. A Democracy is a very unstable form of government. It provides wonderful benefits, while it continues to exist, but never lasts long, rarely over 200 years. A Democracy is built on three pillars:
1. The population must understand history to understands the benefits of Democracy, and the alternatives
2. You need a free and independent Media to expose corruption and the flaws in the system
3. You need confidence in the elections
Number 1 we dispensed with years ago. Public Schools replaced history with teaching of Social Studies, Multi-culturism, etc. Young people of today no longer understand that what we have is rare, and precious. They take it for granted. They now thing Government is there to provide for them, rather than the reverse. Government can never provide for everyone, and the more it tries to, the less people do for themselves.
The Media used to have two internal walls. First, a wall between advertisers and news. So, say Bxlrz Homebuilding was a big advertiser, and news came out that Bxlrz homes all had code violations, the News department could report it on the front page because the advertising department had no say. Second, there was an internal wall separating opinion from news. In the paper, news appeared on page 1, and was reported as is, and opinion appeared on the Editorial Page, where is was clear that it was opinion. On TV, the news used to be reported mostly straight, while there was often a clearly denoted editorial comment later in the broadcast. Today, both internal walls are gone, with the result that no one trusts media reporting to be unbiased. Worse, it causes them to get their news instead from websites where propaganda is easily planted. Many people today have no trust for the Media, so they get their news from someplace even worse.
The final breakdown that will end the Democracy comes when people stop trusting election results. Once that trust is gone, it can’t be repaired, at least not easily. Once that trust is gone, there is no reason for the losers of an election not to have a coup, and sooner rather than later, that may happen. It can, and may, get a lot worse than 2020. That’s why people who deny election results should be vilified, regardless of party. Are there problems with elections? Of course, and there always have been. For example, it’s been said that Daley’s voting manipulations in Illinois were what got Kennedy elected in 1960. Yet, we moved on. Election corruption should be addressed, and attempts should always be made to fix the system, but you need to accept the results and move on unless there is clear and convincing evidence of fraud sufficient to get a court to overturn the result, which occasionally happens. No evidence of fraud was offered in court in any of the cases related to the 2020 election, so it’s clear that the purpose was not to overturn the election, but rather simply to undermine pillar number 3.
So, where are we today? All three pillars are mostly gone. The public school system deliberately removed #1. The media itself is responsible for removing the second one, and politicians such as Trump, who attack the media have accelerated it. And now both parties are working to eliminate #3. That leaves us with three possible ends:
1. We could work to fix all three pillars. Schools could reform and teach history. Media could reform and pledge to separate opinion and news. Both parties could make it a point of emphasis to make sure elections are fair, and to respect election results.
2. The failure of pillar #1 could be the critical failure, and we could descend into anarchy when everyone expects government to provide for them
3. The failure of pillar #3 could be the critical failure, and we could have a coup.
It is true that I despise Trump, and the reason should be obvious from this post. Rather than working to rebuild the pillars, which is needed to restore the viability of our democracy, Trump actively attacked pillars 2 and 3, driving our country closer to it’s end. I am not optimistic that we will try to rebuild the pillars, I expect the US to end within the next 15 years. I’m glad I was alive during the years of Democracy, but I wish out children could enjoy one as well.

Excellent reply.
Your mention of media control and bias is crucial, exemplified by Trump’s “Fake news!”, his attempts to undermine the 1rst amendment to his benefit.
It was also disturbing how so few observed recent Net neutrality legislation and how close we came to the flow of information being controlled by wealthy minority entities.
The internet, which is rapidly displacing the media, may well serve to preserve Democracy, but I suspect at some point bloggers and/or individuals will be required to disclose funding sources and country of citizenship – foreign entities are wreaking havoc with fake American accounts, in turn forcing Twitter, Facebook and others to take questionable actions, when they could just verify account identities.
This would do wonders for your pillar #3.

Biden shut down the pipeline and is trying to kill cheap energy. CPIflation only began after biden took over. Biden is now hiring 78000 armed IRS agents and instituting a $600 limit on transactions before you have to do further reporting to the tax man. Biden stumbles around the stage, literally does not know who he is talking to or about on any given day, and is embarrassing on the world stage. You will admit this if you are fair.

Trump did some things right, like oil exploration and getting out of the stupid climate accords. He also didnt start any major new war. But ask Ann Coulter about the immigration issue if you dare! He also spent money like a reckless sailor, he should have normalized relations with Russia and dialed back the American Empire, like getting out of Afganistan and Syria.
I for one don’t think Putin is evil and I think Ukraine will become just another failed neocon war. I wish we had a leader that was half as impressive as Putin. Instead we have a Biden or Trump. Ugh! Trump should have dialed back the arming of Ukraine and forced them to obey the Minsk Accords.

Trump did some good things, but they dwarf compared to the damage he did to our Democracy. I don’t think it can survive fifteen more years now, and had he been re-elected, I think he would have had the honor of being the last US President, and it’s first Dictator. I don’t like Biden at all, but the types of damage he is doing to the country will take longer to destroy it. I hope that we can elect a President in 2024 that can take us on a better path, but with Trump throwing his hat in the ring again, it looks like four more years of Biden are the best we can expect.

Elections have become a choice between bad or terrible.
In my opinion, the fundraising nature of our political process filters out candidates with scruples or an honest desire to do the job in the interest of the electorate, leaving only those willing to make back door promises to donors in exchange for campaign funds, in turn they continue to legislate in favor of the highest bidders.
I do have hope though, in PA a recent stroke victim beat a Trump backed candidate, seems there’s voter pressure to invoke at least some level of morality into the process.

If we increased transparency standards for Congress, Senate, Exec and SCOTUS, forcing them to make all finances, stocks and campaign funding sources (SuperPACs) public, the distrust would have far less room to fester and grow.

Just reading through the comments below, remembering alt right sites throwing “TDS” in everyone’s face when they objected to Trump’s absurdities a few years ago.
Knowing Trump’s “stop the steal” was rejected last month, seeing so many say they reject Trump while adding “but something has to be done about the stolen elections” is just hilarious.
As far as Russia/Putin is concerned, Trump’s attempts to block the DOJ from years of his tax records have been rejected, we’re about to find out.
The lesson there, it should be mandatory that anyone running for elected positions disclose their taxes & business dealings, it’s absurd that a person with heavy foreign investments or debt could attain office without disclosure when we won’t hire certain Fed workers with the slightest sign of foreign exposure.

I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever Hunter used his family name to gain, and as soon as it’s illegal I’ll rage about it.
I don’t like it at all, but it has nothing to do with Joe, the only evidence procured to date is someone offering Hunter a piece of a deal to “the big guy” with no response from Hunter.
Hunter is a drug addict, many families have one. that doesn’t make Joe an addict.

The IRS already has everyone’s tax records. If they colluded with Trump to allow him to get away with illegal activity that would mean the authority or legitimacy of the state is corrupt. That’s one heck of a conspiracy theory.

True, but the IRS cannot disclose those records, they don’t have authority to investigate crimes beyond tax payment.
If that were the case, the IRS would be scrutinizing records for drug deals, trafficking, organized crime…etc.
Their only power is to find income and scrutinize taxes paid, and even then only under audit.

If they can’t rule themselves, they aren’t even human. And they can’t. They’re not animals either. Just mindless beasts who repeat whatever authority tells them to say.

I read a story last night It said Republicans win one, opposing Covid shot mandate for military. I looked at that comment, and said Republicans did not win one, the members of the military won one, as it was their health or lives that were being placed at danger from the Covid shots. Both political parties have done nothing to stop the damage the Covid shots have caused. Last nite also read about a father who died of massive blood clots shortly after his second Pfizer shot. He only took them because he worked for a business with government contracts and was thus mandated to have the shot or pay for continued testing, which was a notable expense for him.

“Derek McIntosh, 41, a native of Monticello, Minnesota who died early in
the morning of January 4, 2022 – six days after getting his second
Pfizer vaccine.”
“Derek McIntosh was declared dead at 5:57 a.m. His parents arrived at the
hospital minutes after their only son passed away. While in shock, Jeff
McIntosh did speak to the doctor who had treated his son. According to
McIntosh, the doctor told him his son’s body was ravaged with blood
clots, which caused his heart attack.”
Derek McIntosh was not a statistic. He was someones son and he had a son. “…one of the last things he told his son was that he should never get the vaccine.”

He wasn’t gullible. He was required to, in order to keep his job. Probably, a number of people who took the shot, such as medical, police, fire personnel, didn’t want to, but risked it to keep their job.
“Mr. Fusaro took a Covid injection for a job opportunity that required
international travel at a time of tight restrictions, figuring the odds
of him not getting injured were on his side. Sadly, he was wrong. After a
second Pfizer shot, the man developed numerous medical conditions he
had never had before, such as complete heart block, blood clots, and
pericarditis, among others. He had three heart surgeries and was put on a
pacemaker. Mr. Fusaro’s conditions were medically recognized as having
“temporal correlation” with Covid inoculations.”

Good! The Dimocrates will get blamed for the coming depression and take the full blame for the coming defeat in Ukraine and the precipitous fall of the American Empire.
Trump served four purposes:
1. He exposed how rotten and corrupt DC has become (especially the FBI and CIA)
2. He showed how the deep state and oligarchs control the President (Biden is good for this too).
3. He unhinged the left (more so than usual)
4. He showed the news media is a propaganda wing of the deep state ( American Pravda)

I think much of the “Left” would agree with #1, #2, and #4. Trump’s genius (which also serves the Oligarchs) is that he’s able to say so much about what’s fundamentally broken while also serving the class that wants to keep it that way by dividing the country. The day is coming, I predict, when a genuine figure (or movement?) with intelligence and integrity will gain a “clean up the system” reform mandate. Trump, the epitome of corruption himself, cannot lead that movement. He is, in fact (and very ironically) the symptom (and beneficiary) of that which he rails against. “The system is rigged! How do I know? I’ve profited immensely from exploiting that fact (and so have all my fellow oligarchs)!” “Drain the Swamp!”–and then appoints lobbyists to plunder the swamp. Here’s the thing, though: he’s helped immensely to convince the sheeple of the truth that the system is fundamentally corrupt and getting worse (he’s made it worse). Who will take the sheeple to the next level to electing true “drain the swamp” reformers? It won’t be de Santis, who is Trump-lite, another showman and tool of the broken system. Maybe Tulsi?
