Most Republicans are still in shock, looking for the big, red wave they thought they were entitled to have, just because they are so special. Sarah Palin is organizing a transition team (has nobody told her she lost?), Trump is blaming Melania for Fetterman’s win over Oz, but our soon to be former Senator Toomey has finally said something I can agree with: that Trump is responsible for the big disappointment. “Last night across the country was a terrible night for Trump… The more MAGA a candidate was, the more they tended to underperform, even in their own states.” I like those last 5 words — I am hopinging Mehmet Oz the carpetbagger is feeling their sting.
But there is more — this bit is from The Hill:
‘“And by the way, it’s not just Pennsylvania. You look all over the country, there’s a very high correlation between MAGA candidates and big losses, or at least dramatically underperforming,” he added, referring to Trump’s slogan: Make America Great Again.
Toomey predicted that the poor performance of Trump-backed candidates, especially those who embraced his unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud, will “accelerate” the former president’s loss of influence in the party.
“So here’s my theory on the case, is that there is not going to be one discrete moment at which the fever breaks and Donald Trump becomes irrelevant. That’s not likely to happen. What I think is: his influence wanes,” Toomey said.
“And a debacle like we had Tuesday night, from a Republican point of view, accelerates the pace at which that influence wanes,” he said. ‘ From your mouth to G-d’s ears, Pat!
