Thread by @YossiGestetner

There is a wing in the GOP/Con movement that was willing to burn the GOP chance at the WH because Trump is on the ticket and who claim that Trump is a drag on the GOP — But they also want Trump to campaign in GA because he is a net help.

Hello?

If you think the @SenateGOP is insufferable now for Trump voters, imagine a GOP Senate of 52-48 or worse 51-49. On every other big bill there will be a few GOPers to join Dems.

Dems will get their way times over and whatever goes wrong will be the GOP’s fault.

Why bother? 🤷🏼‍♂️

For example, @FrankLuntz and many editorial editors at the NY Post are in this wing.

If Trump is a net-problem for the GOP, then he should not be asked to help the candidates. If he has pull in the GOP (and thus the power to cause damage) then stop dismissing his voters.

Many in the @SenateGOP spent the last few weeks reminding The Base how the GOP behaves: Surrender; fold; rollover; accept media narratives and argue about deficits when Dems hand out money. Then those same clowns wonder why not enough GOP voters show up in key races.

Again, the non-Trump wing of the GOP was ready to burn the GOP chances at the WH just because Trump is not good for them and those same actors rolled over for Dems since the Nov election, yet those actors are already blaming Trump in case the GOP loses the #GARunoffs.

The bulk of the Senate GOP folds for Dems and/or there are almost always a few GOP breakaways like Romney, so what’s the gain for Trump Voters (former Tea Partiers) that the GOP runs the Senate the next two years? That Dems get their way with a GOP stamp on it. Nothing more.

Many in the GOP machine in GA (in office or in punditry) spent the last 2 months mocking the GOP Base (Trump voters) regarding Trump and election concerns. I am not sure why @EWErickson @benshapiro and the @SenateGOP are surprised that GOP voters are not interested in voting.

If it’s true what @EWErickson writes that Dems are showing up at or near Nov levels and the GOP dropped off, then maybe - wild idea but maybe - many in the @SenateGOP and Republicans in GA should have spent less time the last 2 months torpedoing a key wing of their own party.

“This is genuinely a matter of the GOP choosing to lose if they do.” - @EWErickson.

Yet, Erickson and Non-Trump Republicans will conclude that the issue in GA was that the GOP machine did not stab Trump voters deep enough the last two months and that the GOP was not RINO enough.

The diff between Dems having the Senate or the GOP at this stage is the size of the offices that each party leader gets. Many in the @SenateGOP behave like Dems and/or join Dems outright. If the GOP has the Senate it only makes it tougher for them in 2022 midterms.

A GOPer with half the accusations and radicalism as Warnock would have lost big due to endless bashing by media and by... self-righteous clown Republicans.

Then those clowns would blame their base for not backing Warnock or those clowns would be proud to have lost the seat.

Let me remind you that @BrianKempGA appointed @KLoeffler in favor/on behalf of @senatemajldr against and over Rep Collins who was supported by Trump.

Of course now that the abusive radical Warnock beat @SenatorLoeffler, the anti-Trump wing of the GOP blames... Trump.

Clowns.

AGAIN: Had the @SenateGOP remained in control at 52-48 or 51-49, there would be enough GOPs to break often from the party and give @SenateDems and Biden their way on key things.

What good (with 2022 in mind) does it do for the GOP when Dems get their way under a GOP majority?

When Trump was on the ballot two months ago, @Perduesenate beat @ossoff by 1.78 points.

Now with Trump off, @sendavidperdue is smoked.

How is this Trump’s fault?

Also, @Team_Mitch wanted @KLoeffler. Trump wanted Collins.

Again, how is this Trump’s fault?

cc Con Clowns.

I am genuinely preplaxed with the non-Trump wing of the GOP:

They rip Trump from day 1; burn the GOP’s WH chances because they hate Trump and they push back at election integrity efforts, yet they DEMAND that Trump should have helped win the GA race.

What am I missing?

It’s not that people in the Republican Senate or in Georgia did not help Trump. They actively hammered him and his base as problems so what did you expect? Trump should help those actors win? For what? Those clowns would anyway help Biden so let them do it from the minority.

Multiple @SenateGOP kept saying “let Mueller finish his job” despite multiple mile markers showing no collusion. Those same actors ripped Trump for raising the election integrity issue.

Trump does not need to secure larger office for those clowns. @SenateDems can have it.

Here we GO: EXACTLY as I predicted last night! The Machine Wing of the GOP thinks that the fix is to stab Trump’s side of the GOP more; a day after demoralized GOPers did not vote thanks to @SenateGOP behaving like Dems on Trump the last few months (or longer).

The machine/non-Trump wing of the GOP spent years helping Dems make their case against Trump which probably turned away Independents from the GOP and demoralized GOP voters too.

Then when the GOP has election losses, those clowns blame Trump.

Is this a cognitive condition?

1/2 I would like to close this thread with this: The only big tangible difference on Senate control at this time is the size of Senate offices and how the GOP sets up for the 2022 midterms. With a Senate GOP in control and the breakaways giving Biden key wins, it makes it tougher

2/2 for the @NRSC to run their candidates as outsiders in 2022 midterms. So if the Machine Wing of the GOP goes into 2022 more interested in bashing Dems than bashing their Tea Party/Trump voters, they may have a chance to gain seats with candidates who will govern as GOPs.

PS. Did @Team_Mitch ever close his Trump-harassing investigation that was run by @SenatorBurr?

Ryan @HouseGOP had investigations against Trump; helping keep a cloud over the GOP WH but it’s Trump’s fault that the GOP (mostly lawmakers who rejected Trump) lost House seats.
