To illustrate how pathetic the GOP was in 2025/2026:

I've been doing research for something, and Republicans refused to spend next to anything until 2026, and really until September 2026.

Democrats meanwhile in FEBRUARY of 2025 were spreading spending millions of dollars against several Republicans.

I’m just being a realist:

I don’t see how Trump (or Republicans in general) can possibly comeback from what happened Tuesday in just two years, let alone over multiple election cycles.

[LT Jonathan Kendrick @PlisskenPatriot]

Never lose hope. Never give up.

“We will be back in some form.” Chills.

A confidant texted JD Vance on election night telling him not to run for president in 2028 per WSJ

[Prowler @derzum_]

Stephen Miller: ‘There's a cliché that illegal migration is bad and legal immigration is good.

Do you believe every thing authorized by the government is good? No. So, why would we apply that to something as important as immigration? ... What we need on immigration is a pause.’

[Zachary Donnini @ZacharyDonnini]

Democrats currently lead the U.S. House popular vote by about 13 points nationally and in 30 states, including Indiana, which Donald Trump carried by 19 points in 2024.

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

Funniest outcome is Trump wanting to be impeached while Democrats don’t want to impeach him

[OSZ @OpenSourceZone]

Do you think Congress should impeach Donald Trump?

🟢 Yes: 41%
🔴 No: 46%

@kylenabecker 2024 Trump voters that didn't vote in the 2026 Midterm election. These are based on exit polls and the estimated raw votes based on current results.

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

Good God

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

Well, these exit poll results are a bit surprising. Apparently, voters said government corruption was the most crucial aspect of their vote, while Hispanics and Black voters were far more likely to pick cost of living than any other voter.

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

Good God

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

Turns out, you need to give voters an actual reason to vote.

Just saying "Democrats are bad!!!!!" isn't a viable strategy anymore. Even in 2024, Trump won not just because Democrat bad, but because he promised actual proposals to give voters something to actually look forward towards.

Republicans in 2026 offered....

Uh, nothing?

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

Good God

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

Yeah Thune is screwed.

A bunch of the people that were backing Thune in 2024 are gone now, and it’s clear the Senate GOP are out for blood.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

I have signed Sen. Ron Johnson’s letter to postpone Senate Republican leadership elections next Tuesday. Ron needs 5 signatures.

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

Man, I wonder why millions of Republican voters had not interest in voting in 2026?

It’s shocking that Republicans really think saying Democrats bad 1000 times will actually win elections, and they’ve been trying it for about 20 years in a row now.

[Sol Goodman @claudech0de]

@RealPData They didn’t run on anything. There was literally no argument made in the vein of “send us back to work for two years and you’ll get X, Y, and Z.”

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

Obviously, this is on Trump for letting her stay around this long and he should've fired her last year.

But I do think when Trump let it slip that he was advised to not talk about Immigration because he was too successful on it, that's when it probably became clear to everyone else changes needed to be made.

[Rob Crilly @robcrilly]

Trump's fury and Wiles' last-ditch effort to stay on.
Tensions had simmered all year and boiled over after miserable midterm results
Key Trump world figures briefed against her, telling reporters her advice was bad.
Wiles and her political operation tried to blame Hegseth.
She offered resignation Thursday night.
It keeps Hegseth in place.
But expect more changes as Stephen Miller brings in his people at expense of Wiles' team.

On Susie Wiles being replaced with Stephen Milleras Chief of Staff, a person familiar with the administration's thinking tells me: "Stephen means Trump's leaving the denial stage and moving into the fuck it stage."

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

People may not like him, but Stephen Miller is quite possibly the only one at this point that has even a remote chance at somehow repairing and turning the sinking ship around in the next two years.

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

President Trump is the most transformative political leader in American History — and he has single-handedly saved America from those who would destroy it.

It has been the privilege of my lifetime to have served on his team from Day One, and I am honored beyond words to serve as his White House Chief of Staff.

I want to thank the incomparable Susie Wiles for her years of devoted service to the President and the Country, and for her friendship.

The mission now is more clear than ever: Fight with all of our soul to support our President and defend this magnificent Republic.

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

No way Democrats have a speakership fight after their dominating victory, right?

[Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender]

NEW: House Dems "inundated" w/ calls & emails urging them not to elect Jeffries speaker

One member told @axios they got "300-400" calls in 2 days

Another said "over 500"

A third said "higher" than 500: "It's our No. 1 issue, and it's not close." https://t.co/eKtNKwFi0f

[Real Political Data @RealPData]

Even among Hispanic Trump voters, most of the swing came from turnout differences rather than Trump voters flipping.

Granted, there’s exceptions to the rule, but the root of what happened in 2026 came from a record breaking turnout gaps.

[Patrick Casey @restoreorderusa]

Republicans lost midterms not because their voters switched sides, but because Democrat turnout was massive
