Republicans SPANKED! Republicans continue to be driven by the most extreme factions of their base. The GOP continues to let the anti-abortion faction of their party direct policy, and they continue to lose elections. Until Republicans learn to put the fringe of their party back into its dark little corner and rejoin the rest of the country, election defeats like 2023 will continue to be the norm. Donald Trump promised that there would be so much winning that people would be tired of it. What Trump failed to mention was that it would be Democrats who would be doing the winning.
