Bad news is we lost senate seats that won't be winnable for six years. Gut wrenching. Here's the good news: in terms of electoral prospects, this is super easy to fix. Trivial, even: 1. End the tariffs now. If the Admin wants to make a case for a few targeted ones for bad actors, fine. But the broad tariffs must stop. 2. Either go balls to the wall on Iran to finish the regime, or pull out of the war. Do more limited stuff like "midnight hammer" if Iran tries to rebuild its nuclear program, but that's it. 3. Do not back off the stuff that IS going well, and a lot is. Crime at record lows. Border under control. ATF and 2nd Amendment Section doing great work. Government employment reduced. Etc. Do not learn the wrong lessons from what was an inflation-related election blowout and undermine the things that are working. 4. Finally, and this one may be the hardest for Trump: limit the stupid distractions.
