American Greatness is a pro-MAGA but not necessarily pro-Trump website. They have been willing to criticize him.
"...And thanks to this sensible attitude, we are being handed our backsides in states where the Democrats—and quiescent Republicans—have turned election day into election month.
Or worse. In Pennsylvania, the powers that be decreed there would be 50 days of voting. And more than half of Pennsylvania voted for the medically compromised Democrat before John Fetterman had even debated Dr. Mehmet Oz, and opened his remarks with “Good night, everyone!” They voted early based solely on tribal affiliation.
The point here is not whether Oz was a better candidate than Fetterman. (Would you trust the Democrat senator-elect even to walk your dog?) The point is the other party changed the rules of the game, organized to exploit those changes, and got busy while we stuck to our old habits.
This pattern was repeated all over the country, where the Democrats could get away with it. Just look at Arizona. A woman who hid from the public and the press, who was a disaster whenever a journalist managed to corner her, won against one of the most charismatic, attractive, and sharp-witted candidates America has seen in easily a decade. But it does matter if Kari Lake can walk on water politically when the Arizona GOP was so utterly incompetent that they didn’t even have enough printer cartridges on election day to print voters their ballots. If the Democrats had been running the printers, there would have been spare cartridges and then some. And you know it, too.
Blame the Guilty
So who do we blame for the midterms? It’s trendy right now to blame President Trump. Really? Was it his job—from Mar-a-Lago—to stop the Democrats in Pennsylvania from making Election Day “Election month-and-a-half?” And how is it the former president’s responsibility to ensure that the GOP in Arizona has a Staples account and uses it? Seriously? The two most serious post-mortems in the last week, which apportion blame based on evidence and not tribal affiliation, come from Mark Levin, and Senator-elect J.D. Vance of Ohio.
Given all the noise and disinformation out there, I strongly advise you to watch Levin unpack it all as only he can and read Vance’s assessment of campaign financing and the massive advantage Democratic incumbents have everywhere. Oh, and just for the record, J.D. Vance was Trump-endorsed, 100 percent MAGA, and won handily, for those needing ammunition to counter the “Trump candidates lost the election” narrative.
It is quite amusing that some think a former president is responsible for running the mechanics of a midterm election for House and Senate seats. He can donate funds from his PAC to favored candidates should he wish. And he can hold rallies for those he deems worthy of such support. But midterms are meant to be run by the Republican National Committee, the Senate Republican leader, and the House Republican leader. In other words: Ronna Romney McDaniel, Mitch McConnell, and Kevin McCarthy.
McCarthy can point to the fact that he helped get Nancy Pelosi fired. Congratulations to the future speaker. But what about McDaniel and McConnell? What did McDaniel do to stop 50 days of voting that clearly favors the Democrats? Why isn’t McConnell responsible for the dismal result in the Senate? Why aren’t the alleged “conservatives” currently baying for Trump’s blood blaming the Senate minority leader for anything? Why would someone who actually wanted to beat the Democrats pull and reallocate more than $10 million from the campaigns of America First candidates, including Adam Laxalt in Nevada and Don Bolduc in New Hampshire, and redirect that money to an incumbent RINO Senator like Lisa Murkowski in Alaska? Could it have anything to do with Murkowski being a loyal McConnell acolyte and Laxalt and Bolduc representing MAGA populism?
And what about the strange Trump-DeSantis pseudo-war some have so loudly declared? It’s all bogus...."
