Trump has now come out publicly and agreed with JD’s assessment that the voters didn’t like the Iran War. So now every fake “loyalty enforcer” (@LauraLoomer et al) who sneakily attacks JD or DeSantis for trying to get back to peace is now in fact attacking POTUS.

Of all the smart Republicans who know Florida well, it's agreed that $50 million in ad spending for Jolly would have won him the state. There's less agreement re: Nixon. Regardless, Jolly refused to seriously fundraised and refused to debate Donald, spooking Dem donors more

This is the reason neocons are losing audience. It's not due to disagreement on opinions, although that has some role. It's that they provide factually wrong information. Even if your worldview aligns, you are worse off, and would be better served watching sketchier people.

Stop overanalyzing exit polls looking for hidden nuance. Republicans bought into neocon fantasies in the Middle East, gas prices went through the roof, and voters obliterated them for it. It really is that simple.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Republicans lost Texas, Georgia and North Carolina in one night... this is the honest post-mortem the party needs to hear Will Chamberlain called the war a “mild footnote” and now concedes he was wrong, because he assumed a short war with few casualties couldn’t hurt like Iraq and missed that Trump voters took it the way Bush voters took “no new taxes.” Rich Baris says he knew the day bombs fell on Fordow that a 100-year defeat was coming, and his polling has Trump at 35% approval. Will still says the war gutted Iran’s military and that tariffs started the slide, while Rich says the GOP blew up a majority coalition. Both warn that Republicans who vote to impeach Hegseth are walking into a Democratic trap. They also get into the Hegseth impeachment push, why Michigan swung less than everywhere else, and Rich’s polling showing no religious group opposed the war more than American Jews. Republicans in every state need to have this same conversation RIGHT NOW, while there’s still time to learn from Tuesday and win those voters back before 2028. @willchamberlain @Peoples_Pundit @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Operation Epic Fury ended less-than-epically: with a circular firing line inside Trump world. Max Blumenthal saw this coming a mile away. JD Vance was blunt about it: the Iran war cost them the midterms. Closed the Strait of Hormuz. Diesel went up 70%. It’s the economy, stupid. Even Trump admitted it on 60 Minutes: there’s a “great dislike” for Israel now across the U.S., left and right. The casualties? Mark Levin, crashing out. Ben Shapiro, bleeding staff and viewers. Both former Never Trumpers who became Netanyahu’s loudest voices in the GOP. The astroturf is peeling. @MaxBlumenthal

Oh poor you. The White House did everything you said, and crashed the MAGA train into a mountain. You spent the whole past year attacking every effective and compelling voice of our 2024 coalition. You killed our coalition. You will not be in charge of the autopsy.

I don't think there could be a bigger endorsement for JD or any Republican for that matter, than to be opposed by king RINO Karl Rove. If Karl Rove hates you, then you must be doing something right. Being praised by Karl Rove would be the mother of all red flags!!!!
