It is amusing to watch the GOP reaction to Herschel Walker's loss yesterday

Some of the more reasonable Republican politicians and commentators are speaking out angrily against the poor quality of candidates that the GOP ran and that Trump endorsed. Trump chose terrible candidates to challenge House Republicans who voted for his impeachment. Basically his only requirement was that they supported him and went along with the Big Lie that the 2020 election was "rigged and stolen". (narrator: it wasn't) The Democrats employed a risky strategy of actually supporting the extremist Trump-endorsed candidates in the primaries because they knew that moderate Republicans and independents would reject them in the general election. . . and they did. The 2022 midterm election should have been an absolute blowout for Republicans with post-COVID supply chain issues, inflation, gas prices, etc. Yeah that did NOT happen. Even Trump fans like Laura Ingraham said last night that she was "pissed" at the losses after the Walker/Warnock Senate race was called for Raphael Warnock. Hilariously even Herschel Walker's son (one of them anyway) called the GOP out last night on Twitter. He posted: "Republicans, we say we don’t play “identity politics” and then you ran this man mainly because he was the same skin color as his opponent with no background other than football. A boring old Republican could have won." He has a point. Trump's lap dog Lindsey Graham still defended him today and said that the issue in the election(s) was not a Trump thing. Whatever blackmail Trump has on him must be incredible. It will be interesting to see if the GOP will finally realize that sane Republicans and Americans in general want to move on from Trump after all of the losses and Trump's suggestion to throw out the Constitution and install him as President since according to him he won the 2020 election. I honestly don't think that Trump's act is sustainable for the GOP for 2 more years. We shall see.
