Donald Trump almost flipped New Jersey red in 2024, but didn’t quite manage to pull it off. With that in mind, did Jack Ciattarelli really have a chance? It’s easy to get down in the dumps after a performance like we saw on Tuesday night. The Communist Democrat Party made a clean sweep in all the major races that the media was paying attention to. The problem is not that the Communist Democrats are more popular or that they outnumber us. It’s that the Republican Party as an entity thinks it’s still 1994, and they are utter failures at basic pattern recognition.
We wanted the Republican candidates to win Tuesday night, despite their many… handicaps. That’s human nature. We want our side to win. We are the majority in this country, while the Communist Democrats have now slipped into a fringe third party in all the polling. These were winnable races in Virginia and New Jersey.
But GOP, Inc. has this weird fetish for finding ways to lose.
We didn’t want to “punch right” by criticizing the Republican candidates too much before the election. That’s because these races could have been won. Now that it’s time for the post-mortem, can we be honest about the brutal truth of Tuesday night?
These candidates sucked rotten eggs.
Jack Ciattarelli lost in New Jersey by 13 points. He got 1.3 million votes, while Naval Academy cheater Mikie Sherrill received almost 1.8 million votes.
Donald Trump lost in New Jersey in 2024, but he got 2 million votes. If everyone who turned out to vote for Trump last year had voted for Ciattarelli, he’d be the new governor of New Jersey.
Winsome Earle-Sears lost the governor’s race in Virginia by 15 points. She received 1.4 million votes. The creepy CIA spook and transgender bathroom lady that the Communist Democrats ran got 1.9 million votes.
Donald Trump lost Virginia last year, but once again, he got 2 million votes in that state. 600,000 Trump voters didn’t show up at the polls in Virginia on Tuesday night, so Earle-Sears is not the governor.
New York City is a bit of a different bag. The foreign Communist jihadi won there because of ranked-choice voting. But still, that race could have turned out very differently.
Here are some quotes that might help GOP, Inc. with its pattern recognition deficit.
“Trump is a liability. It’s time for him to step off the stage.” – Winsome Earle-Sears.
“Trump is a charlatan. He is not fit to be president.” – Jack Ciattarelli.
“I hate Trump.” – Curtis Sliwa, who received 7% of the vote in NYC on Tuesday night.
“I will not accept Trump’s endorsement.” – Andrew Cuomo, who lost by fewer than 150,000 votes in New York City.
The GOP could have spent the past two weeks surging resources into Virginia and New Jersey to help Scott Presler. That’s what the Communist Democrats did for their side. The globalist, anti-American Ford Foundation poured tens of millions of dollars into Get Out the Vote efforts in those states.
What did the GOP spend the past weeks doing?
Trying to get Tucker Carlson canceled because of a guest on his podcast, and denouncing college Republicans over leaked group chat messages. Nice going, GOP!
The American middle class is dying. Legal and illegal immigration are destroying our country. Mass immigration has already destroyed New York City and other blue bastions, which are just twitching corpses right now. President Donald Trump’s #1 most popular issue with the voters is immigration. The economy is a close second.
So, the GOP in Virginia decided to run… a Trump-hating Jamaican immigrant with a foreign accent at the top of the ticket.
It’s now a moot point on whether GOP, Inc. is simply retarded or whether they are actively hostile toward their own voter base. The path forward, for any Republican candidate running in the 2026 midterms, should be crystal clear.
Embrace the America First agenda. Put the American people above all else. Support not only mass deportations but also crippling restrictions on legal immigration. Shower President Trump’s domestic agenda with praise and promise to be the most pro-Trump member of Congress when elected. And mean it.
Be like Donald Trump. It’s a simple recipe and it should be obvious to every Republican candidate after the past 10 years.
