I like how people say we need to return to traditional Republican priorities as if the Iran war, gutting healthcare subsidies, gutting Medicaid , anti-abortion extremism weren't traditional Republican priorities that wrecked us on Tuesday.
We were literally at the mid 40s also known as normal presidential approval before the war it was in fact the war.
The whole midterm in one table.
Net approval at the midterm, per the exit poll:
Bush '06: -14
Obama '10: -11
Obama '14: -11
Trump '18: -9
Biden '22: -11
Trump '26: -26
Nearly double the next worst. That's not one issue. That's everything.

Watching these freaks turn in Desantis is hilarious.
Very interesting.
During his impeach Pete Hegseth @SecWar press conference today, Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie advocated for Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis to replace Hegseth:
“I think Ron DeSantis would be great at it. I don’t think he would run into the same problems that Hegseth has.”
Earlier today, @LoomerUnleashed asked Massie how he could impeach someone who prevented Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Massie’s press conference was also attended by Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin @medeabenjamin, who has expressed support for the Iranian regime, and recently received a federal subpoena.
Not a good look for DeSantis. Again, I’m not trying to resurrect issues with DeSantis, I’m literally giving him free advice. If he wants to run for President in 2028, he should probably ditch Massie.
Seems like the Woke Reich is going to be a cancer in the 2028 cycle. But, we already knew that.
Didn’t we?

What's that? Simping for a group that votes 70% democratic doesn't work shocking.
Jewish Electorate Institute/Mellman post-election poll of 800 Jewish voters:
69% voted for Democratic candidates.
25% voted Republican.
28% of Jewish Dems said they voted for Israel critics despite strong disagreement, citing other factors. Since 2024, Jewish Democratic voter support for Democratic candidates has declined,
albeit modestly. It stands below the levels recorded during the Democratic wave in
President Trump’s previous midterm election. The Mellman Group

Sounds like jeb Bush here sad.
MORE: "But they came in illegally. Many of them have good jobs now. They're productive. Some of them are even paying taxes, and we're seeing what's going to happen. There won't be amnesty. Somebody suggested won't be amnesty, no....But my policy hasn't changed."
Later: "What Biden did to this country should never, ever be forgotten, and I hope the Democrats will not try and allow that to happen again."

At some point one has to question the point of a party that can't even confirm conservative judges like it's failing at its most basic duties here.
It took two years but we finally got the manufacturing ambassador Trump promised.
I am proud to announce that David MacNeil, the GREAT American entrepreneur and founder of WeatherTech, will be the Special Envoy for Manufacturing! David has built an incredible American company that makes outstanding products, RIGHT HERE IN THE U.S.A. He knows how to create jobs, bring Manufacturing back home, and put America First. Together, we will bring back American jobs, strengthen our factories, and make sure that future products are MADE IN AMERICA. Congratulations David — Your unparalleled expertise is vitally needed! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Mark wants ground troops and a second Iraq that's his goal.
If there's no victory and the Iranian regime survives, it will continue its pursuit of nuclear weapons and more intercontinental ballistic missiles. And the consequences for our country will be disastrous on many levels. Some people here can jump up and down and shout their isolationist and Israel-hating propaganda all they want, but the enemy will not be contained nor dissuaded. In fact, it will be openly aided by China, Russia, and the North Korea. The real debate should be over the manner in which the military operations have been and are being executed, which is absolutely legitimate.
We're done and we'll just watch your nuclear program is probably the position we should've taken 6 months ago.
HEGSETH to @realDailyWire on what is necessary to end the Iran war: “Iran is devastated. Iran is in the weakest position it's been in a very, very long time. The president has the upper hand on any path that he chooses to take to include saying, ‘Hey, we're done, and we're going to watch your nuclear material. You better not move it.’ Whatever he wants to do is his prerogative, and the War Department is prepared to give him the tools to execute on that.”

When I went to stop someone from winning the nomination I to spend my days talking to an audience that is 70% democratic.
👀
"Karl Rove slammed Vice President JD Vance during the Jewish Federations of North America’s General Assembly on Monday as a “neo-isolationist” who would “bankrupt our economy and make the world a far more dangerous place by abandoning” Israel.
Rove stated unequivocally that Vance 'should not be president of the United States, nor the Republican nominee.'"

Trump was actually the most popular president midterm since 2002 in term one apparently.
basic story of why 2026 was bigger than past midterms right here -- Trump's approval was way worse than other recent presidents at midterm (and it's not like they were doing well). This is from the national exit poll

Eliminating those Obamacare subsidies was dumb and the party really needs to come up with a healthcare policy.
Just one political professionals reflection on last Tuesday:
Voters don’t trust politicians, and a lot of them are angry. I sat through enough focus groups this cycle, read enough polls, and listened to enough voters to hear it firsthand. They don’t just vote on policy. They vote on whether their life feels harder than it should, and whether the people in charge seem to get it or are just managing the message.
Too many of our incumbents and the broader party apparatus spent the cycle telling people it was worse under Biden, or that things “aren’t really that bad,” or pointing to no tax on tips and stock market gains. Those things can be true but the fact is- they sounded like bullshit to families who can’t afford hamburger, a tank of gas, or basic healthcare without worrying about the bill. Energy costs stayed high. Healthcare costs stayed high. And the American Dream of owning a home is being priced out of reach for our kids and grandkids. When the kitchen table math doesn’t match the talking points, people stop listening.
The war involving Iran and the tariff fights handed Democrats some of their cleanest arguments. They didn’t have to invent the anger. They just fed it. And while Republicans held the White House and Congress, we spent too much time pointing fingers and taking recess instead of delivering clear results people could feel. Control without visible progress is a failure.
We’ve also hollowed out the party itself. Real grassroots have atrophied. What we have now are keyboard warriors, paid influencers, and canvassers. We abandoned the slow work of one-on-one conversations with actual voters. Primaries became less about competing ideas and more about who could secure the right endorsement. Campaigning got replaced by X infighting. We let a class of podcasters and paid pundits set the emotional temperature and the governing priorities. And we spent more energy cataloging why the other side sucks than asking voters what they actually want us to do.
At the bottom of all of this is a simple fact we keep forgetting: people vote on emotion and whether they feel like you are on their side. When the party stands more for the jersey than for a clear set of principles and results, that feeling erodes.
Where we go from here is straightforward. Rebuild the actual grassroots with real conversations, not just digital noise or paid door-knockers. Fight for the people right now on the costs they feel every day so we earn the right to get power back, and when we have it, use it to deliver visible wins on healthcare, energy, and a path to homeownership for the next generation. Stop letting outside voices dictate how we feel, act, and govern. Primaries should test ideas and records, not just endorsement loyalty. And we have to spend more time listening than explaining why the other guys are worse.
Anger and distrust don’t disappear because we control the institutions. They only fade when people see the party focused on their actual problems instead of its own internal scorekeeping.

Threat to impeach him at this point he lost and needs to get over it.
TRUMP QUESTIONS US MIDTERM ELECTION RESULTS
President Trump is questioning the legitimacy of the midterm elections, alleging irregularities in early voting and voting machines.
Trump also questioned why election polls differed so sharply from the results, without providing evidence of fraud.
