The American electorate is not looking for another populist blow hard that just wants to dominate the other party. They're looking for a leader, and actual good decision maker with some darn compassion for godssake.
Then how do you explain President Biden? Because he is none of those things.

You don’t understand how trump won in 2016, it wasn’t because of the wealthy it was because of the poor middle class. What is hurting Republicans right now is mail in voting, they won’t win again until they match the Dems in that area.

A fraction of people voted by mail this time relative to 2020. Georgia was one of the best examples of that as was PA. Both had majority of their ballots counted by the next day this time. I think many are overestimating the mailin ballots this cycle.

Relative to 2020 is a massive benchmark, I would like to get the data on this. I know a huge mail in dump pushed Dems over the top in the Nevada senate race. I also know the longer it takes to count votes in toss up races, democrats always magically come out on top every time. There is funny business going on right now to give Dems the house, I am certain of it. The media is still saying “lean Republican” for house control, this won’t happen because Arizona and California will find a way to give it to Dems, it just might take another week to happen.

The last two races called in 2020 were races Republicans won by 6 and 12 votes in Iowa's 2nd and New York's 22nd district. A bunch of districts took time to count, and went both ways. Enough of this conspiracy theory nonsense because results don't go the way you want them to

Trump lost the popular vote twice,under his leadership the gop lost the house, the senate and the presidency.Historically the gop should have gained both houses this midterm but so many Americans despise trump along with dobbs the republicans massively underperformed.
The MAGA base is around a quarter of the population and most Americans think they are cult member conspiracy Theorists and most women believe they want to oppress women.

There are hundreds of people going to serve time in federal prison because the believed trumps election lies and joined his Jan 6th insurrection. Lives and families ruined.

There really was not a single poll which showed Laxalt winning Nevada so call me skeptical there. Add in the governor race being won almost exactly as polling showed and I’m highly suspicious. The Arizona governor race is another one. Not a single poll the final month showed Lake losing

My hunch is it shows how horrible inefficient government is. If the private sector ran elections, counts would be long done. It is 96 hours after the last polls closed. Unacceptable to still have uncalled races.
