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

The more whiny Trump cries, whines and lies about the election, the more I’ll show research that shows that he lost and exactly why he lost.
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.
And this is HOW he lost.
He lost a lot of the white voters, college educated voters and independents who supported him in 2016.
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.

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
