Why the White House is celebrating a mediocre 'win'

Despite the all-out attack on the election process republicans still upended Congress

A number of seats have been won and more pending, flipping Congress as the count continues to favor republican candidates. How the opposition has succeeded is in turning America First against itself by infecting previous Trump-supported winners with a complacent establishment attitude. There is no easy route forward and those who won their race in earlier elections and in this one must not be swayed by the fraud that has worked to a degree. Turning their backs on what Trump helped accomplish for them, managing to win against daunting odds in this expectedly manipulated election is not only a wrong turn, but they are traveling a road to procure failure in the face of evident misfeasance. This kind of backstabbing is to be expected from self-serving warmongers like Liz Cheney, who couldn’t convince her own republican district to support her officious anti-American actions. It’s improper coming from those who were assisted by Trump’s endorsement. Republicans in office and pundits from every side are missing the point. Despite the all-out attack on the election process that came about during Covid, which has yet to be corrected by the states, republicans still upended Congress. And the assault has not abated as the democrats running elections in Nevada, California and other states are still manufacturing votes for themselves in a continuous effort to curb the monumental conservative turnout. Check how Washoe County, Nevada lost its live camera feed in the middle of vote tallying. Shades of the 2020 wee hours shutdown of vote counting in six states all at once?

Trump can be a brutal strategist

Republicans have managed to turn the House amid indicative fraud, of which both establishment and America First candidates and office holders are overlooking the obvious... That conservative voters showed up in such overwhelming numbers that the fraud only partially succeeded. Where the manipulators did succeed is how they are driving the narrative that Trump not only didn't win the day but that he was a liability. The fact is that were it not for Trump and his rallying cry there would have been no victory at all. This is said as a temperate Trumpster who supports him because he has been and apparently still is the main individual willing to defy the administrative corporatist mentality of governance. That Jim Jordan would state support for milquetoast Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker raises questions about giving over the ship’s running to a hesitant captain for appearance’s sake. Republicans cannot afford another Paul Ryan at the helm espousing support for America First but laboring to block life-saving measures and then blaming Trump for his failure (that Ryan considered a win as he instituted the uniparty plan for national demise). Not being a big fan of Trump’s pre-emptive attack philosophy, it appears he may be using social media to test those he supported for loyalty to the cause as they are being wooed by fawning anti-Trumpers, DeSantis included. Trump’s harsh remarks look to be a jab to see how many are willing to jump ship at the first blare of unfavorable media reports. There have been a cadre of conservative pundits and politicians who’ve proven their faint-heartedness by retorting that Trump is abusing his king and queen maker status. This brings up another option, that Trump is forcing the wavering to show their true colors. He can be a brutal strategist, risking being painted an egotist. If Trump were truly working simply to satisfy himself, why would he have expended his life and wealth to serve America, taking no recompense for weathering unabated attacks from all sides? Are any others in the political arena that are quick to throw stones doing the same?

Media narrative that there was no conservative surge in this election is to direct us to the administrative swamp

Trump’s offensive style may be his way of testing to see who has the will to withstand the unending onslaught of harsh criticism coming from both sides. So far, DeSantis has demonstrated he has a thick skin and that is what it will take for America First to be victorious. Running to protect their own image, slogging blame for a slim win on the one person who made even that much possible, are those who will not make the final cut. This fight isn’t a personal one about Trump or any who run for office, it’s about the ability to set aside personal feelings and do the work, as DeSantis has. Capitulating to self-centered emotion is the badge of the left. Following a media narrative that there was no conservative surge in this election is to channel the stream toward the administrative swamp. In reality, the Red Wave is crashing against the election and media manipulation seawall, but even a reinforced breakwater cannot withstand the force of an unrelenting tide.
