ADAM COLEMAN: It’s the Economy, Stupid: Why the Midterms Were Predictable. “When you’re glued into politics, reading blogs, scrolling through social media, you get inundated with niche issues and everyone is trying to convince you that this is the defining problem that will swing an election. . . . Right or wrong, the economic woes of the public will always be put at the feet of the president. If the stock market sucks, it’s the president’s fault. If you can’t afford DoorDash like you used to, it’s the president’s fault. The midterms are the way for the American public to punish the president in power. Yes, the typical political discussions matter, like quality of candidates etc. However, if people are angry and emotional, they don’t generally make rational decisions. If the reason for them voting is based on spite, do you really have a chance of changing their minds? You can’t fact your way out of shifting an emotional voter.”

True. Though Talarico and El-Sayed shouldn’t have been able to win, and wouldn’t have just a few cycles ago. We need to look at the changed background that made that possible.

IT’S A GRIM DAY FOR THE NATION, BUT THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN. Trump has delivered a lot of results, but a lot of people just can’t stand him. He’s the reverse-Obama, who won on style points while delivering failure.

Well, it’s a democracy, the voters are allowed to choose badly, and I believe that this time they did. Republicans need to pick up some lessons and start working on 2028.
