Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) predicted Republicans could face "a bloodbath in the midterms" after Democrats won key elections in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, California, and Pennsylvania. During a Wednesday interview with Roy on the War Room podcast, MAGA influencer Steve Bannon blamed GOP candidates who did not "fully engage Donald Trump" in their campaigns.
"You're not going to get wiped like you got," Bannon insisted. "If you stiff-armed Trump and have a tele-town hall the night before, that's not good enough."
"And then in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, bro, what do you spend in time in Iowa? You just ended your political career last night," he continued. "As a native Virginian, you destroyed you, destroyed the Republican Party for a generation."
According to Bannon, Virginia Republicans nominated an "unmitigated Trump-hating disaster" when they picked Winsome Earle-Sears. Roy said the election was a "wake-up call."

You better belt out Tarzan's signature holler like he did in the old movies, and SWING, baby! That's the ticket. And when he demands your lips on his butt, you better ask him how far your tongue needs to go, SIR!?! Yessiree, that's how the WINNERS do it!" ~ Steve Bannon

Most of the Dem pickups were in local elections, not Federal level. Repukes never were going to win Mayor of NYC or Seattle.
They're building a Gerrymandered Firewall that will be fully operational next year. That might be enough to hold the House. Odds are extremely good they won't lose the Senate.

(163,346 posts)With Tillis going bye bye and Roy Cooper on the ballot in NC, there is a good chance of a pickup. Similarly with Janet Mills running against Concerned Susan in ME. That could be 2 seats. The other possibles include OH (if Sherrod can find some magic) and even Iowa, with all the rumblings going there and Ernst not on the ballot (but her stench still stinking up the place).
We need to hold GA and NH.
