Oh, we got the message, loud and clear! And, we rejected it together with all the other crap the Democrats were feeding us. Now, here's the funny part. So long as Democrats play the blame game, they will totally miss the real lesson of this election. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time. No, Kamala's refusal to discuss policies wasn't the problem. Hell, even if she had, nobody could understand anything she was saying. No, we understood her policies. She clearly demonstrated them in her actions. Biden clearly demonstrated his as well, the same way, and We the People rejected them. No, not all of us. Then again, We the People have never spoken with one voice. Never will.

Biden's border policies were pure lunacy, no back ground checks, no plan once you let them in. Hell they can't even work legally in this country the way Biden's administration set things up.

BOTH sides are absolutely determined to believe the wrong messages from the 2024 election -- and mostly for the same reason. Activists and strategists on both sides simply cannot believe that any reasonable person could disagree with their positions, therefore the only ways that anyone could vote for The Other Side are that either "we" failed to tell them or that "they" are crazy and/or evil.
Neither side wants to accept the fact that both campaigns made most of their message a personality contest that largely alienated voters on both sides. The ONLY issue that Harris campaigned on at all was abortion. The only consistent issue message from the Trump campaign was the economy, phrased in clear terms as "Are YOU better off than you were four years ago?" That one question won the 2024 election, but will cost the GOP their congressional majorities in 2026 when people still aren't any better off.
Democrats keep telling themselves that their policies are all correct and that they just failed to explain that to people (with just a few admitting that Harris was an absolute failure as a candidate despite strategists being so sure that she would automatically get the "women vote" and the "black vote")
Meanwhile, Republicans are convinced that nearly the entire nation is "Redder" that before without understanding that the truth is closer to "Less Blue" which isn't really the same thing at all.

You are certain that the economy won't improve? You sound much like Obama when he ridiculed President Trump's campaign promise in 2015 to restore a healthy economy. "What's he going to do? Wave his magic want..." Well, wave it he did and I don't see why he can't do it again.

CPT Jack Durish - The economy will probably improve, but improving the economy probably won't make most working-class voters feel noticeably "better off" in the 21 months before the mid-term election. There are several reasons why I say this:
1. I doubt that the GOP congressional leadership has learned from their mistakes of 2017-2018.
2. Even if the GOP congressional leadership has learned from their mistakes, they don't have a strong majority in either the House or Senate. Their slim majority puts the RINOs in command.
3. Even if congress does enact Trump's programs, some of his best ideas to help the economy in the long-term are not going to have the desired effect in the short-term. Tariffs will help with our trade-imbalance and strengthen domestic production, but those same tariffs will raise prices (tariffs on imports won't just raise the price of imports, American businesses will simply raise their prices slightly below the price of the imports).
Besides the economy, the GOP is likely to fail on some of Trump's other campaign promises. Trump was barely able to attract the Gun Owner vote even with Harris being visibly and actively anti-gun. The GOP failed to deliver the Hearing Protection Act, the SHORT Act, and National Reciprocity last time when they had a solid majority in both the House and Senate. Do you really believe they can deliver this time? The GOP needs at least one of those before the 2026 mid-term election - if they can manage two or all three, I could see them gaining seats but I'm skeptical that they can deliver even one.
