If the Republicans’ election failure on Tuesday 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.

When the Republican governor of the second-largest state wins his reelection by 55% and the Republican governor of the third-largest state wins by 60%, the GOP doesn’t need another one of its moronic “autopsies” of the party, promising to be just like the Democrats. The only thing we need now is an autopsy of Trump.

Kurt Schlichter: Much of America is more liberal than we want to accept, and a whole lot of Americans are willing to tolerate the garbage policies Democrats push. Some people just don't want freedom – they liked the COVID crap and support woke fascism.

American Spectator

The GOP’s lackluster performance on Tuesday speaks not only to the party’s fecklessness but also to the liberalism of Americans. Even if the GOP had run strong candidates, they would still have struggled to persuade Americans in thrall to left-wing propaganda. The truth is that whoever owns the culture in the end owns politics.

Do you remember the days when elections were normally settled in one day? Whatever happened to those days? Kari Lake, the most important leader to emerge in 2022, said it best: "Another election run by clowns, and we're not gonna take it anymore."

Trump was exactly the right man for 2016. But Trump is currently devolving into more of a permanent liability than anything else.

Daily Signal

On Tuesday, DeSantis won by more than a million votes and took Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, which were deep blue, even as recently as 2020. That’s not just a big win, that’s a realignment. Right-leaning voters moving to Florida certainly bolstered the state’s red wave. But it seems that even many long-term residents shifted red, too.

We don’t have Election Day anymore. We have Election Week and Election Month. Over 42 million early votes were cast this election. That’s not as bad as the catastrophic 2020 election of over 100 million votes where the deciding electorate seemed to be ballot harvesters.

The Republican Party needs a rebranding, and it needs new faces in its leadership for that to be successful. If the GOP has another bad election night in 2024, this country is in real trouble.

Fox News

Greg Gutfeld: Now, both Beto and Stacey are free to do something other than run for office, like maybe work. Beto, I hear the Gap in Waco is looking for people to fold sweaters. And Stacey, the Falcons still need an offensive tackle. But you know what? That won't happen. That won't happen. They have MSNBC contributor written all over them in crayon and whipped cream respectively.

Western Journal

Ben Shapiro: In many districts and states all over the country, Republicans picked bad candidates. Believing that the fundamentals were all that was necessary to sweep them to victory, Republican leadership failed to intervene in these primaries to the extent necessary to ensure durable general election candidates.

El American

In a surprising and hopeful turn of events for the Republicans, Ron DeSantis and Marco Rubio won Miami-Dade County by approximately 11% and 9%, respectively. This county is 68% Latino and has the highest percentage of Latinos in the state. DeSantis lost the Latino vote in this county in 2018 by about 20%.

National Review

Bidding farewell to Beto, Abrams, Crist — really, you can go now.

The Federalist

That the elections should be some form of reckoning for Republicans to either throw Trump overboard or cuff themselves to his ankles and swallow the key is a very, very stupid way of thinking about the future.
