Trump. I don't like you.

[SteveG]

from The Hill:

Many of Trump’s highest profile and most meaningful endorsements lost in the general election: Mehmet Oz and Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania’s Senate and governor races, respectively; Blake Masters and Kari Lake in Arizona’s Senate and gubernatorial races, respectively; Tudor Dixon in Michigan’s gubernatorial race; Tim Michels in Wisconsin’s gubernatorial race; and Don Bolduc in New Hampshire’s Senate race.

Trump instead blamed voters for the poor showing for Republicans, suggesting they did not yet realize how bad the Biden administration’s policies would be for them.

“Citizens of our country have not yet realized the pain our country is going through… they don’t quite feel it yet. But they will very soon,” Trump said. “I have no doubt that by 2024 it will sadly be much worse, and they will see much more clearly what happened.”

More interesting than Trump's speech is that Steve G has posted 23 (so far) out of the total of 35 posts in this thread. I haven't read any of them but it feels to me a bit like Trump's obsessive pre-ban twitter posting habit. I'm just curious as to what sort of motivation is there for something like this.

Then why are you even following this thread? I found the play-by-play useful, as I couldn't bring myself to watch the speech. That voice gives me headaches.

I read in a couple of different places that the event felt very "low energy" and before the end of his speech people began to wander out until security stopped them.

correction: Jared did show up. Ivanka didn't.

When he doesn't get the full support of the Republican Party or its leadership, he will start screaming about the swamp. Then we may see him break away and blow up the right.

BTW, if you were playing Trump Fiction bingo last night, you might check out this fact-checker piece to see if you missed any.

Rather long, and they say they’ll be updating with more as they work their way through TFG’s cavalcade of confabulation.

Bingo!

Note: he didn't mention a new breakaway party, previously mentioned to be "The Patriot Party."

I am so not ready for a rematch of 2016.
