Democrats and leftists donated millions in outside and dark money to candidates across America in their ongoing attempt to “transform America” into a democratic socialist state. They set all new records spending anywhere from 2 to 7 times more money than their Republican opponents in a desperate attempt to take control of Congress.
The American people sent them a clear message.
Not only did the landslide Blue Wave never appear, but Republicans flipped seats in the House of Representatives, leaving Democrats with a very slim majority. As it sits now, after the run-off election for both Senate seats in Georgia is finished, Republicans will have either a 51 or 52 seat majority in the US Senate.
Prior to the election, the GOP controlled 58 legislative chambers, while the Democrats controlled 40 chambers. Americans have been giving more state legislatures to Republican control and defeating Democrats consistently since 2012.
The media and polling organizations were predicting that a blue wave was going to take control of several states. Despite deep pocket billionaires and Big Tech corporations donating hundreds of millions, they failed.
Democrats failed to flip chambers in Texas, North Carolina, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Republicans flipped both chambers in New Hampshire’s Legislature.
Republicans took the socialist label and hung it around the necks of Democrats. It was especially devastating in south Florida, where voters from Cuba, Venezuela and Colombia came to the United States to flee socialism and have no interest in voting for anyone whose party includes outright socialists. Republicans knocked out incumbent Democrats Donna Shalala and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in heavily Hispanic districts.
Going into Election Day, the polls and the media narrative expected that Republicans were going to be swept out of office down the ballot in a blue wave. They believed the country had now fully embraced “wokeism” and rejected center-right values and principles.
Senator Susan Collins did not lead in a single publicly released poll during the final four months of her re-election campaign in Maine. But Ms. Collins, a Republican, won the election comfortably.
Senator Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, trailed in almost every poll conducted in his race. He won, too.
Pollsters let President Trump get in their way in understanding the electorate, and so did reporters and political scientists.
Even if you count the ballot fraud, most pollsters clearly failed. If you don’t include the fraudulent ballots, most pollsters failed on a spectacular scale.
Most pollsters assumed a massive increase in turnout among pro-Democratic millennial, female, and minority voters. So, they heavily weighted their results to reflect this flawed assumption. Turnout would be somewhat higher than 2016, but nothing like the scale of the pro-Biden electorate these other polls’ imagined.
The actual, somewhat higher turnout was evenly divided among new voters from both parties. How did pollsters miss five million new Trump voters?
They refused to accept the Shy Trump voter was real in 2016. So, they didn’t look for them in 2020. We knew they were real, and we found far more of them this year.
This time, Shy Trump voters were disproportionately Black males in urban areas and suburban White women. This data confirmed the significant movement of Black voters towards Trump – and the movement of a segment of suburban White women back to Trump.
In North Carolina where thousands of us volunteered in Get Out the Vote efforts (GOTV), team Trump and GOP’s hard work crushed Democratic dreams in North Carolina
Republicans focused on turnout and bringing new or infrequent voters to the polls, and it paid off big time.
18 months of the GOP’s focused labor for President Donald Trump was paying off for Republicans throughout ballots and races across America.
Pure and simple, the Democrats got outworked. They didn’t turn the vote out.
The Democrats failed to deliver North Carolina for presidential candidate Joe Biden. They failed to beat Tillis. They failed to take any of three Republican-leaning Congressional seats that appeared winnable. They lost seats on the state Court of Appeals and state Supreme Court.
It turns out that the only place that the blue wave existed was on Twitter or in a poll — never once in an American experience or in an interview with voters.
