If you listen to the pundits, you’d think that the @HouseGOP did very well during the 2020 elections.
That’s not quite true.
Here’s what actually happened.
Florida
(Lost 2 seats in 2018, gained 2 seats in 2020)
Iowa
(Lost 2 seats in 2018, gained 2 seats in 2020)
(Lost 1 seat in 2018, gained 1 seat in 2020)
Oklahoma
(Lost 1 seat in 2018, gained 1 seat in 2020)
South Carolina
(Lost 1 seat in 2018, gained 1 seat in 2020)

Note to Trump supporters asking “why do you keep bringing him up?” Easy answer: he won’t shut his lying pie hole.
This is HOW he lost.
Okay, so here is a more complete rundown of how the last three Presidential Elections went down. And some more mythbusting of Trump's lies about the 2020 Election. https://t.co/3M9c79wHop pic.twitter.com/eRNRKQZzzB

And this is HOW he lost.
He lost a lot of the white voters, college educated voters and independents who supported him in 2016.
So here, in charts and tables, are the exit polls for the five states that flipped in the 2020 election.

Arizona - the trend of the state (clearly trending toward the Dems after 2012) and the groups Trump improved/declined with between 2016, when he won and 2020, when he lost. pic.twitter.com/ZxUXyui83R
In 2016, Donald Trump won Independents in every one of the six states that he flipped from blue to red.
In 2020, Donald Trump lost Independents in every one of the five states that Joe Biden flipped from red to blue.
Is it somehow strange that Trump lost the election? No. It would have been much stranger had Trump managed to win the election.
No one as consistently unpopular as him has ever been re-elected. Like ever.

BREAKING: President Donald Trump has submitted his answers to questions from special counsel Robert Mueller
— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) November 20, 2018
Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.
Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.
Mueller's team was 100% partisan.
That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election
They looked high.
They looked low.
They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.
And they found...NOTHING.
Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.
What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?
THERE WEREN'T ANY.
Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.

We often avoid taking action because we think "I need to learn more," but the best way to learn is often by taking action.
