The Republicans Snatch Defeat from the Jaws of Victory.
No surprise: the Democrats took control of the House and Senate.
Never put a billionaire in the White House. He will never think about the people; only the money he can suck out of their wallets.
The Republicans thought being his dutiful lapdogs would ensure an easy ride. They have no one but themselves to blame for their drubbing.
The GOP are stuck with him for the next two years. The Democrats are not going to squander this lead for one reason: they want the Trifecta of the House, Senate, and White House. They over-performed at the polls, and they know it.
Trump is in serious trouble. Tech Bros are in serious trouble. They should have remembered to never hitch your ride on one horse.
What makes you, breaks you: Donald Trump rose because he shot off his big mouth and swaggered with narcissism. It was fun when he implied his backers would “win”, and they took it as making more money than they did before. But then Trump helped himself, his kids, and other billionaires get richer at the expense of regular citizens. Suddenly, the yappy mouth and arrogance turned into poison.
The Democrats saw an opening and took full advantage of it. Finally, they cracked his code and could bypass his nastiest tricks.
I will have more to say later, but for now, many GOP politicians have their careers in tatters and they earned it.
