What Went Wrong?


WASHINGTON — Days before the 2022 midterm elections, analysts and media outlets alike predicted that all the ingredients were there for a major GOP victory.

President Joe Biden’s poll numbers were low, Latino voters were trending Republican and record-setting spikes in inflation and interest rates had strengthened the GOP’s indictment of Democratic policies.


Republicans would not only gain five House seats and one Senate seat needed to flip the two chambers of Congress, pundits predicted, they might even secure a mandate for change, breaking the stalemate in Congress that had stymied the advancement of their plans.

It didn’t happen.

The Blue states voted Blue. The Red states voted Red. It went as I predicted. The reality is there's not any swing states anymore. I think we're at the point where decades of Red failure has caught up to us & it'll be very hard to win anything nationally going forward.

I was disgusted when I found out that Stretchin' Gretchen was re-elected. I voted for Tudor Dixon myself, but as usual, I'm sure that Wayne and Kent Counties voted in a solid Democrat block. Four more years of high prices, food shortages, and formerly "paved" roads crumbling into serrated masses of rutted mud and foot-deep potholes.

"Build back better".

Governor Snyder was our last governor and he was a republican.

I live in Kent County. In Detroit they like to say that's where all the racists live. I don't think they realize Kent is Blue. That's propaganda & a misinformed electorate at work.

I hate to say it, but Tudor never had a chance. They love Gretchen in Detroit & that's all that matters.
