Sen. Thom Tillis spoke on losses in Kentucky, Virginia and Ohio abortion access.

Senate Republicans on Wednesday took a hard look at Tuesday night’s punishing election results in some key battleground states, and they’re not pleased with what they’re seeing.

“Yesterday to me was a complete failure,” said Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina.

Republicans were handed a string of rebukes, from red-state Kentucky’s projected move to reelect Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear to Virginia projected to elect Democratic majorities in both chambers of its state Legislature, likely thwarting GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s election promise to enact a 15-week abortion ban.

    “We have to have a compelling message that appeals to the suburban voters no question about that,” Thune said. “So, I think that’s economy, jobs, cost of living, public safety the border. I think those are the issues that really resonate with people across the country and our candidates this year are going to be on offense on that issue.”

    Except all those suburban voters know that electing you means their precious princess will have to carry her baby to term and ruin her chances at college, so they still won’t vote for you.

      Even if we ignore abortion and only look at what Thune is talking about, suburbanites would still be stupid to vote for them.

      Economy? Republicans will cut taxes on the super wealthy and screw over everyone.

      Jobs? They’ll cut regulations that keep me safe at work.

      Cost of living? They’ll subsidize fossil fuels more, and screw everyone in the long run. They’ll probably just lie about everything else.

      Public safety? They’ll give cops more money so cops continue to be shit while being paid more. And/or they’ll toss more people in jail without providing any sort of treatment which will make the whole situation worse.

      The border? They’ll waste money to build some stupid wall and prevent desperate people from seeking asylum. Plus, the border “situation” does affect the vast majority of Americans.

      Unless you’re an evil billionaire cackling in your hollowed out volcano, voting Republican is voting against your best interests.
