Vance says “The reason we lost is the war.” Yeh. But also tariffs, driving up prices well before the war. Unleashing ICE & CBP in a cruel assault on immigrants who aren’t “the worst of the worst.” There’s the unprecedented corruption. Trump added $2.2 billion to his net worth & surrounded himself with billionaires. There’s disruption of the social safety net, with cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and ACA subsides. And Trump’s complete cluelessness - his ballroom, the reflecting pool, adding his name to the Kennedy Center. And finally his obsession with John Husted’s butt.

GOP leaders say the Iran war cost them the midterms. But voters I’ve talked to this week say that’s only part of the story. Even lifelong Republicans seem to be losing patience with what they see as petty rhetoric and grift by current and former Trump officials.
