I am happy, and quite confident it will ultimately work in the GOP's favor. Enough to win back the House majority in 2022? I don't think so. Enough to win the WH in 2024? Too early to make that prediction. But if the Democrats elect to stay this course of focusing on any possible which way to hurt Trump when he's no longer even in office, rather than lead the country, it will help the GOP in the coming years.
Not sure what your point is telling me that, since I've been very clear that I do think Trump was guilty of inciting that riot.
Not sure exactly where I was bragging about anything. I keep telling you, that's the difference between you and me. You take American politics personally, not sure why. I don't. I'll probably forever be the 30yo DC operator at heart but that means I'll always view politics objectively as, mostly, just a job. As I've said many times, the first rule I always taught my junior staffers: don't ever make politics personal, because the second you do you're useless here.
When you win, you take a night to congratulate your team and then move on to the next race. When you lose, you congratulate your team for their work, then move on to the next race and hopefully figure out what you did wrong last time.
You don't cry, and whine, point fingers, try to shift blame, howl excuses and dwell on the past (e.g., Hillary). The Democrats barely won 2020 and not by anything they did--they won the WH and Senate back because Donald Trump was an offensive, ridiculous asshole that didn't take COVID seriously when he should have. But did Democrats really WIN win?
Today they have a demented old man as their standard-bearer who can barely string together two sentences or stay awake long enough for intel briefings. Waiting in the wings to take his seat is an awful, universally-hated twat that advanced in life by spreading her legs and even her own staff (and father) can't stand being around. Democrats hold a razor thin margin in the House and Senate, and that could very well change if they continue on this nonsensical course. The vast majority of Americans don't give a shit about anything but getting vaccinated and getting back to normal, and yet the Democrats spent the last five weeks focused solely on trying to convict a guy who isn't even in office anymore. And it doesn't look like they have any plans to change course any time soon.
As a mid-term campaign staffer, that's not a position I'd like to be in.
