Not really. Those in the GOP establishment like Romney, Kasich, the Bush Family, etc., are cool with 2nd place finishes. They have set a bar they figure they can reach.
The win at any cost attitude is quite harmful to the country.
It served the Democrats pretty well, no?
Where have you been? The Dems have been getting their asses kicked from one end of the country to the other since 2000. Except for getting Obama, Dems have won NOTHING, up until 2018, when the whole nation stood up and said "We did NOT vote for Trump so **** him!!!", and the voters have been on a mission to get rid of him since the day he was inaugurated.
2018?
Republicans picked up Senate seats, you blithering idiot.
I wouldn’t look too into that. The map was very favorable to them with few seats they had to defend.
You guys got “schlonged” in the House which is more indicative of the state of the country.
The House losses were just above avg. Barry got schlonged in his first midterm.
Yes, because of the Tea Party Movement. But he didn't lose as badly as Trump did in 2018. Trump had the biggest mid-Term loss in American history.
The president blamed the huge losses on unfounded claims of illegal voting and some Republicans failing to accept his "embrace."

Trump has never won an election. He lost the popular vote in 2016, the mid-Terms in 2018, and the general in 2020.
Although Trump wasn't on the ballot in 2018, he did tell the American people to treat that election as a referendum on his work so far, and they resoundingly rejected him. Voters gave the House and 7 governorships to the Democrats.
Now that Trump has all but succeeding in dividing the Republican Party in two - the Sedition Caucus, and the Sane Caucus, he has all but guaranteed a Democratic House and Senate for the foreseeable future.
Trump had the biggest mid-Term loss in American history.
Why do you think you can get away with such blatant lies? Are you really that stupid, or just incapable of not posting lies?
2018:
Trump lost 41 Seats in the House.
Trump gained 1 seat in the Senate.
2010:
Barry lost 63 seats in the House
Barry lost 7 seats in the Senate.

Why do you call others liars, when it is you who is twisting things.
It's not ME who calls it the biggest mid-Term lost in American history - it's every mainstream publication I googled.
Democratic House candidates have an 8,805,130 vote lead over Republicans.

Since 1946, the average number of seats lost by the president's party in the midterm elections is 46.

The seat count is irrelevant and paints a completely false picture of the extent of Trump's mid-Term losses. After the 2010 elections, with the Republicans firmly in control of the majority of the State House, Red States used the 2010 Census to thoroughly gerrymander every state they had control over, to such an extent that is was almost statistically impossible to flip the House, regardless of what voters wanted.
By 2018, Democrats needed 57% of the popular vote, to flip the House. Trump's loss in the popular vote was the largest in US History, and it was historic, because of the statistical impossibility of Dems flipping the House.
One of the projects that Obama and Holder have been working on since leaving office is reversing the gerrymandering, but it's a slow process. You need 100,000 verifiable voter signatures on a petition, to go to the court to request a judicial review. Then the map has to be redrawn georgraphically, following which, the redrawn map has to go through an approval process.
So when you try to compare 2010 to 2018, the number of seats changing hands would be substantially diminished by the number of "safe" Republican districts that had been created since the 2010 Census.
Do you want to try your next piece of bullshit, FuckBoi?
