One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up. So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us." Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026. There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true. But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone. Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were: 1) End the war 2) Focus on cost of living/inflation 3) Put America First 4) Change our relationship to Israel Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.) In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you. The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night. If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest. But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there. I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Even the most hardcore Democrats are waking up to the Islamic takeover of America after seeing Obama endorse Abdul El-Sayed This man was a huge Barack Obama supporter. He even has his inauguration poster and newspapers from the day he won but says “I feel betrayed by the Democrat Party” “I thought Obama had class and integrity, and now this year he's just destroyed all of that by falling in line and coming out and endorsing and dumping for some of the shadiest, weirdest Democratic candidates that I've seen in my lifetime. Did you see his speech for Abdul El-Sayed? He's claiming that racism is the only reason why anybody would ever have questions about Abdul's character. Meanwhile, Abdul's entire family is involved in the Muslim Brotherhood, and Abdul himself, in 2012, when Egypt elected a Muslim Brotherhood president, He signed a letter in Arabic when Egypt was already cracking down on journalists who didn't like the new president. He was like, you know what? You should crack down on journalists and the police. This was in 2012. You know how old Abdul was? 28. This wasn't some clueless college student who didn't know what he was getting into” “The Muslim Brotherhood. But this is an organization that is banned in Egypt and about a dozen other Middle Eastern countries, and just this month, it was targeted in the EU. They called for a coordinated strategy to combat Islamist entryism. Not terrorism, but the sort of nonviolent takeover. Even the EU is worried about that, and they should be. But Obama doesn't think so. He says everything's fine.” “Just like he came in to whitewash Mamdani socialism too. Like we're just worried about his religion or his funny name, not seizing the means of production. Not the content of his character. The reason I don't like Abdul and Zohran Mamdani is because they feel like a scam. Because they talk to me like I'm stupid and like they're trying to take advantage of me. And you keep peeling back the layers and you just find more and more radical stuff. So no, Obama's not helping their reputation. He's hurting his own reputation. It feels like Obama was gaslighting us the whole time. Hope and change just feels completely hollow now. How about stability and competence? How about experience and facts? How about integrity and patriotism? That's what I'm looking for, and I don't see much of it in the Democratic Party anymore” He’s right, Barack Obama is a gaslighting globalist plant. The majority of the destruction of what America used to be was dismantled under Obama Obama is apart of the Islamic Takeover of America, he’s literally making speeches for candidates tied to the Muslim Brotherhood
