CAL THOMAS COMMENTARTY NOVEMBER 28, 2022
EVERYONE IS DOING POST MORTEMS ON THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS, SO HERE’S MINE. REPUBLICANS DID NOT DO AS WELL AS EXPECTED BECAUSE THEY NOMINATED WEIRD, UNQUALIFIED AND ANGRY CANDIDATES THAT TURNED OFF INDEPEDNDENTS AND EVEN SOME DEMOCRATS WHO MIGHT BE FED-UP WITH THEIR PARTY’S TAKEOVER BY THE HARD-LEFT.
WHILE REPUBLICANS LEAD DEMOCRATS BY ROUGHLY 3.5 MILLION VOTES WHEN ALL 435 HOUSE RACES ARE COMBINED, THEY WERE NOT SUFFICIENTLY CONCENTRATED IN CLOSE RACES WHERE A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE COULD WIN.
VIRTUALLY ALL OF THOSE ENDORSED BY DONALD TRUMP LOST, BECAUSE THEY EMBRACED THE SCENARIO THAT THE 2020 ELECTION WAS STOLEN. MOST PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW A CANDIDATE’S PLANS FOR THE FUTURE, NOT CONTINUE TO ARGUE ABOUT THE PAST.
THERE IS HOPE FOR REPUBLICANS. VOTER TURNOUT AMONG DEMOCRATS WAS DOWN CONSIDERABLY, ESPECIALLY IN SWING STATE PENNSYLVANIA, AND EVEN IN HEAVILY POPULATED PHILADELPIA. THAT’S A PROBLEM FOR DEMOCRATS, ALONG WITH THE GENERATIONAL SHIFT AMONG YOUNGER BLACK VOTERS, WHO ARE SLOWLY BEGINNING TO VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS.
ONLY A PROPHET CAN FORSEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN 2024 AND I AM NOT ONE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
