NEW YORK (AP) — Almost two weeks after Republicans lost badly in elections in Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, many GOP leaders insist there is no problem with the party’s policies, its message or President Donald Trump’s leadership.

Trump says Democrats and the media are misleading voters who are concerned about high costs and the economy. Republican officials aiming to avoid another defeat in next fall’s midterms are encouraging candidates to embrace the president fully and talk more about his accomplishments.

    It’s astonishing to me that anyone still thinks Democratic voters think critically. You all are no better than Republican voters on affordability.

    No one is so stupid that they walk into a grocery store, look at an empty cart and their $100 grocery budget buying them half as much, and still think: “I’m totally going to vote for the incumbent.”

    Though I will be interested in seeing how many just decide not to vote at all. 8+ years of both parties ignoring the people on affordability will mean a lot more people just opting not to miss a day’s pay to vote, I think.

        No, their guy told them he would bring grocery prices down. (He was lying, of course.)

        The Democrats’ girl told you to just be joyful about it. Who needs food or shelter when you can have joy?
