Trump supporters, who do you blame for the midterm losses—and why?

[msc545]

Somebody is probably at fault for all of those losses that occurred all over the country. Who do you blame for them? Also what did that person do to cause them?

[lightbulb27]

It's on trump largely due to the war and fuel prices. credit to the other guys playing it smart, largely sitting back, letting him screw it up.

but most every election it flips, not a shocker.

In local races the right candidate was not advertised or marketed well, the $'s on the left were a lot more than on right. It pays to be rich. our left candidate makes multi millions and the right one hundreds of thousands. not a fair fight.

[msc545]

You seriously want to talk about fair fights at this point, given what these people have done?

[lightbulb27]

I don't compare heavy weight and welter weights.
In general, it's all corrupt, need an even playing field. I don't like most any what I see. Our local politician paid for his own using own money. Great! But guarantee he gets paid back as he has before with deals. When in power role, it's corrupting. the Prez is 100x worse.

This is not always about money. It also can be about popularity.

It'll be on Obama... my money is definitely on tRumpys blaming Obama

Perhaps you are right. Let's wait and see what people say.

I was a Trump supporter and still support some of his past politics. I blame him. He went crazy (crazier) these past few years. Kidnapping another country’s president, going all pirate and taking other nations oil ships, the tariffs, threatening to take land from an ally, starting (more) war in the middle east, shit talking an ally because he didn’t get the nobel peace price just to name a few things.

[msc545]

Thank you. I think your comments are very insightful and the things you mentioned are good reasons to blame him.

[lilBigPotato]

Person who promises to stop endless wars in the middle east and fight inflation starts another long war in the middle east that drives up inflation.

Hmm I wonder what the reason could be 🤔

I blame the American people for not being patient and seeing a plan through

[msc545]

What plan is that?

[Pterodon]

Trumps plan. With Iran

[msc545]

I'm sorry, but that doesn't seem to be working very well, does it?

[Pterodon]

For me it was

[msc545]

Yes, I understand that, but objectively (and I know you can be objective), it wasn't working. Not at all. From the start, it has never worked. There is no way the Iranians are going to stop making nuclear material, which they will then probably form into weapons. Those weapons, or at least the threat of them, are the only lasting, effective defense they have against the United States that doesn't require constant, immediate attention. The reality is that every country that has managed to manufacture nuclear weapons has subsequently not been interfered with by the United States in any significant way. The clearest modern example is North Korea.

I'm not a Trump supporter, but it's not rocket science. Polls were approximately even, President started a war, polls tanked.
