Were the candidates who lost big MAGA?

Some of them were, for sure. And it is a bigger problem for the GOP for the ones who weren't and still lost bigly.

A couple of blue states elected Democrats. Not seeing the news here.

Your challenge is that you are not reading/watching the news. Dem judges were retained in PA and 2 Dems won statewide in GA for the public service commission - the party hasn't had candidates win that race in ~25 years. Then the Dems picked up 2 state senate races in MS, breaking the GOP supermajority.

You may lack the ability to discern what happened last night, but pretty certain there are more ketchup stains at the White House and GOP campaign folks are digging into the precinct level results from last night.

We saw this transition from red to blue during Trump's 1st term and then Biden fumbled all Dem momentum away. We need a leader who can retain this momentum to emerge by 2028.

+1. I"m old. I've been reading DCUM for quite some time. I feel like I've been reading some sort of "GOP/Republicans are done after this. They won't be able to come back" since Obama's first term and yet here we are with another Trump term.

Is everyone just a younger poster and wasn't around for GWB's second term when the sentiment of Dems will now have the majority for the foreseeable future was posted about? Do you not realize this country goes back and forth with elections? Do you not realize that Dems can still f&ck up 26 and 28? Do you really think it will be different this time?

It will be difficult for the Dems to eff up 26 and 28 with Trump still in office but if another Biden is nominated in 28, the shift back to red will happen quickly.

2024 was a change election, as will 2026 and 2028. The Republicans have little chance despite the games people think they'll play. The more they play these types of games, the bigger the backfire is going to be. Democrat enthusiasm, Independents switching sides, and Republicans sitting on their hands all played a role in yesterday. Given the direction of the economy, that's not going to change in 2026 and 2028. Then change will happen again after...

Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate in a stunning win!!

Your post is what misinformation, false bravado, and cope look like when they're all bundled together.

Trump and his lunatic clown sycophants in his cabinet & administration are kryptonite to the Republican Party.

Check the "special elections" thread to see a recap. Americans are tires of Trumpism, MAGA drama, incompetance, random firings of expert scientists, vaccine denial, bombing speedboats in oppositition to international law, etc. Enough.

MAGA: Turn up the volume.

Unless the GOP is able to pivot quickly from MAGA after Trump leaves office, Dems will be able to retain this momentum through 2030 or 2032 as long as they don't nominate another 77 year old clown in 2028.

President Trump just weighed in on the commanding Democratic victories tonight with a one-line, mostly all-caps post on his Truth Social account: “‘Trump wasn’t on the ballot, and shutdown, were the two reasons that Republicans lost elections tonight,’ according to Pollsters,” he wrote.

If we’re able to uphold our constitutional norms, his name will never be on the ballot again. That should send alarm bells through the Republican establishment.

The Democrats Just Took a Big Step Toward Getting Their Groove Back
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/us/politics/democratic-party-mamdani.html
Victories in New York City, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere were decisive, but new political tests loom for a party still rebuilding its brand.

With their election night triumphs on Tuesday, Democrats showed that their demoralized party — which spent the past year mired in self-recriminations and soul-searching — could still accomplish the most important goal in politics.

They can win. And win big.

The decisive victories for governor in Virginia and New Jersey and mayor of New York City and a major ballot initiative in California — which is likely to yield as many as five House seats for Democrats next year — demonstrated crucial signs of life for a party that was soundly defeated in all seven presidential battleground states, lost control of the Senate and failed to win the House just a year ago.

The results showed a level of determination and energy among Democratic voters that was missing in that 2024 election. This time, their candidates were stronger, their campaigns focused intensely on affordability and an intense desire to deal a blow to President Trump. If the huge No Kings protests last month were the shot, Tuesday’s election was the chaser, with Democrats showing once more that they could turn out to deliver a powerful vote when Mr. Trump is in the White House.
