CNN ran the exit poll cited in Kelly's column here.
...Exit polls, however, seem to contradict the idea that Trump played a major factor in the unexpected outcome. According to a comprehensive survey of more than 18,000 voters taken on November 8, 54 percent said Trump was not a factor in how they voted; 47 percent said the same of Joe Biden.
If there was a protest vote—only 28 percent said they voted Democrat to oppose Trump—it appeared to have little impact. For the most part, opinions of elected officials, party preference, direction of the country, and views on the economy were fairly even between Democrats and Republicans, who held a three-point edge when asked which party should control the U.S. House next year. Favorable ratings for both parties hover around 40 percent—ditto for Trump and Biden....
Was it--really--abortion, a matter which Republicans simply did not know how to address?
Yes, according to this poll.
But there are other factors which are not brought up: some candidates (both sides) just plain stunk. Crist and "Beeto" and Oz, to name three. And then--separate from the candidates--there were lousy campaigns. There is treachery, trickery, and deceit from Party Leaders.
Then there's Election Fraud which was disguised as 'early-mail-in' voting.
Finally, this:
...“Elections are not run anymore like they were in the 1980s,” Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway said on Wednesday night. “There is now [an] extensive period of voting where people who are smart are running get-out-the-vote operations every day, hauling in ballots every day. Republicans keep thinking Election Day is a single day and they think if they get everyone excited for that last day that that will be sufficient. That is not sufficient. There needs to be an effective ground game. That is on Republican leadership. And there’s only so much that everyone else can do with their enthusiasm.”...
If only Republicans had "social service employees" by the truckload, and paid "community organizers" on Union payrolls, and could threaten/coerce "healthcare providers" to push their propaganda, along with "media" and "educators."
Oh, well.

I think every state is a bit different. In many states now, fraud friendly rules are in play. In others, the rug was pulled out from under candidates by the establishment. And in others money was wildly in favor of the big dollar dems. I live in Michigan and barely saw a single ad for Dixon. But Whitmer ads and wildly deceptive pro ballot proposal ads were on EVERY. SINGLE. Commercial break. Plus you can vote straight ticket in Michigan, so it was that much easier for us to lose the state and fed house and senate races.
