The GOP lost every swing state wide election this year except for 1 (PA-Senate). And even that was razor thin in a Red Wave year.

They lost Governors/Senate races in

Arizona Nevada North Carolina Michigan Wisconsin

I know it’s normal for the presidential candidates to receive the most votes on a ballot. But even the Dems that won these races weren’t too far behind Kamala Harris. Yet the Republicans candidates were way behind trump.

Why is this? Do these people literally go to the ballot box just to vote trump and leave?

      Is that not counter productive? More senate seats greatly benefit your presidential candidate. Yes, republicans have a majority now. But the closer you are to 60 seats the easier it becomes to pass BIG legislation.

      Granted, Republicans rarely ever try to pass BIG legislation.

        Yes it is. See the part where they’re dumb af for the explanation. They really truly are.

        You’re explaining this concept to the wrong people. This post feels like you just trying to prove you know how American politics works. Congrats, you know more than 90% of the American electorate.

          ??? I just want to know the reason for the underperformance compared to trump. If it because of what OC said, that very counterproductive
