Trump: GOP Blown Out Last Night Because His Name Wasn't On The Ballot!

"Trump argued polls shows the shutdown, which Wednesday set a record for the longest in history, “was a big factor, negative, for the Republicans.” He also suggested his absence on the ballot was a factor."

Hmm, how about high prices, tariffs and and "only the best people" in his government? Military in the streets of US cities? ICE? How about TRUMP?!...

The curse of the majority party is that they always get blamed for everything, but in Trump's case, I think it's well deserved!

1. Everything costs more, and high prices is something Trump said he would fix from day one, and honestly he's only made the problem worse.
2. The tariffs are hugely unpopular, and most Americans realize they are a massive part of the problem regarding costs. All the chaos and turmoil he has caused with them has primarily been for nothing.
3. ICE and the punitive and aggressive form of its immigration enforcement are also hugely unpopular outside of the MAGA crowd. It's hard not to see the massive increase in ICE spending and its tactics as overreach, without any checks and balances on its power.
4. The budget deficit is ballooning under Trump, again. Can we please finally dispel the myth that Republicans are more fiscally responsible than Democrats?
5. Trump's style and structure are polarizing and undermine bipartisanship at almost every turn.
6. Executive overreach and the unprecedented use of the Supreme Court's emergency docket are unsettling, to say the least.
7. The clown show of a cabinet that amounts to little more than under-qualified sycophants and loyalists.
8. A lack of ability to govern or compromise and an insistence that they have a mandate, when clearly they do not. I haven't viewed the Republican Party as a competent governing party for a long time now.

And that's just what I can come up with,  without much prior thought!
