Quotes from the November 15 issue of Washington Examiner, a conservative magazine:
"Voters show they want sanity and don't want Trump. . . . These midterm elections have made it crystal clear that voters want to move past the chaos and dishonor of the 45th president."
"It is impossible not to consider this outcome yet another rebuke of the 45th president."
"Republicans must choose - electoral success or Trump. . . . If the Republicans' election failure on November 8 has a silver lining, it's that it will persuade more of them that former President Donald Trump is a massive liability and turn them decisively away from him. . . . The biggest, most important step toward sanity and full electability that the Republican Party can take is to recognize that Trump is yesterday's man, not today's or tomorrow's."
"The Trump delusion has finally started wearing off. . . . If you compare Trump's performance against senatorial and gubernatorial candidates, in both 2016 and 2020, he was a net drag on the ticket."
Meanwhile, thanks to Trump's antics, Republicans and conservatives are being associated, in the public mind, with white supremacists, rappers who want to kill Jews, wacko Qanon cultists and the deranged My Pillow buffoon. It's time for us to unhitch ourselves from Trump's death-grip on our movement, and move on. If we can't do that, then get ready for the Demon-crats to win big in 2024.
