Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) predicted Republicans could face "a bloodbath in the midterms" after Democrats won key elections in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, California, and Pennsylvania. During a Wednesday interview with Roy on the War Room podcast, MAGA influencer Steve Bannon blamed GOP candidates who did not "fully engage Donald Trump" in their campaigns.

"You're not going to get wiped like you got," Bannon insisted. "If you stiff-armed Trump and have a tele-town hall the night before, that's not good enough."

"And then in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, bro, what do you spend in time in Iowa? You just ended your political career last night," he continued. "As a native Virginian, you destroyed you, destroyed the Republican Party for a generation."

According to Bannon, Virginia Republicans nominated an "unmitigated Trump-hating disaster" when they picked Winsome Earle-Sears. Roy said the election was a "wake-up call."

1. The circular firing squads are forming.

2. "If you wanna win, you gotta REALLY prostrate yourself before Hair Fuhrer!

I'm talking wrap both arms all the way around Trumps prodigious sack, and you gotta swing like Tarzan! You better belt out Tarzan's signature holler like he did in the old movies, and SWING, baby! That's the ticket. And when he demands your lips on his butt, you better ask him how far your tongue needs to go, SIR!?! Yessiree, that's how the WINNERS do it!" ~ Steve Bannon

5. I'm ummm, paraphrasing with humorous intentions?

Based on this blurb: "MAGA influencer Steve Bannon blamed GOP candidates who did not "fully engage Donald Trump" in their campaigns."

Hope it worked

6. Can you feel it

[prodigitalson]

7. Ignore them...they feed in us freaking out. I literally have not seen dipsgits

Orange face more than a dozen times since he got elected after stealing nuclear secrets and getting convicted for piles of fraud.

Serious fuck them...Just vote.

[Clouds Passing]

8. GQP is bloodbath obsessed

[Zorro]

21. Roy means it literally not figuratively

[wiggs]

9. Let's not forget that last night's elections were preceded by upwards of 8 million persons taking their

Saturdays off to protest during No Kings Day 2.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. The media dismissed all that

declaring that "rallies and marches" don't "equal votes".

Well guess what...?

[Safe as Milk]

13. A recent survey showed that around twenty million protested at "No Kings" events.

GOPers were happy with the 7 million estimate, as large as it was, but not so happy about an actual questionnaire results.

12. Ding Dong Chip Roy's overstating the situation.

VA changes parties on its Gov every election.

Most of the Dem pickups were in local elections, not Federal level. Repukes never were going to win Mayor of NYC or Seattle.

They're building a Gerrymandered Firewall that will be fully operational next year. That might be enough to hold the House. Odds are extremely good they won't lose the Senate.

[Safe as Milk]

14. GOP/Trump voters are shrinking in numbers.

Gerrymandering won't be the solution that they think it's going to be.

16. Fun dayn moyl zu Got's oyem

From your mouth to God's ears.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. "Odds are extremely good they won't lose the Senate."

With Tillis going bye bye and Roy Cooper on the ballot in NC, there is a good chance of a pickup. Similarly with Janet Mills running against Concerned Susan in ME. That could be 2 seats. The other possibles include OH (if Sherrod can find some magic) and even Iowa, with all the rumblings going there and Ernst not on the ballot (but her stench still stinking up the place).

We need to hold GA and NH.

18. you seem quite vested in watering it all down

yup

[maxsolomon]

22. So you're saying I'm a Republican plant or something?

I've been a pessimist on DU for 2 decades.

[Skittles]

23. I know

yup

[maxsolomon]

24. I'm so good at it

I've fooled myself.

[Skittles]

25. well

you haven't fooled everyone

over and OUT

[Gore1FL]

19. They may have diluted themselves too far.

Given the trends seen in Virginia, Texas may end up with more blue seats, not less.

[Permanut]

27. Chip Roy's "The sky is falling!" speech..

to stir up the MAGA cult.

[Skittles]

17. the only way to avoid it is to start reigning in that POS "president"

but we all know THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN

[COL Mustard]

20. For a change,

I hope he’s right!

26. I agree that the Democrats will win if there are fair elections in '26. The next fight we need ...

... to win, is guaranteeing that there are fair elections in '26.
