Trump’s party stripped of control after he spent weeks pleading with Americans to pretend he was on ballot
Donald Trump has been dealt a devastating blow to his authority in a night of crushing defeats in the midterm elections, which saw his Republican party stripped of control of the Senate and the House as his handpicked “Maga” candidates were swept away by a blue tsunami.
The president spent weeks before the election pleading with the American people to pretend he was on the ballot. He may now rue that tactic: the American people took him at his word, and delivered him a bloody nose of historic proportions, flinging his presidency into lame duck status.
He appeared last night to have changed his mind, declaring on social media: “I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!”
Unbelievable how many historically red states voted liberal in this election. Kansas, Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas…
My kudos to everyone who lives there who made this happen
Edit: Mississippi and Alaska are fighting too
A few years ago a friend of mine commented that Texas even being questionable (this was when Beto ran against Ted Cruz) was good because it meant the GOP had to spend money in Texas rather than using the state like a bank account to fund races in swing states. Texas turning blue is a massive blow to the national GOP.
Of course now we all need to hammer on our reps to move forward on real progressive legislation, like abolishing ICE and instituting universal healthcare and higher education.
Holy shit, some good news out of that damn country for a change.
As an American I feel the same way.
trump has made his billions and hurt and killed a lot of liberals, time for him to leave the country or be removed.
We did it!!
Congratulations to the Americans for a good election. 👍 😀 🎉
