Editor,
After reading numerous posts from readers upset by the election results, it’s clear to see why they lost both the Electoral College and popular vote.
Quite simply, their message did not resonate with the average American. Contrary to what many readers think, most people who voted Trump are not racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic or uneducated. Those who voted Trump likely did so because of the failed policies over the last four years. We saw our border overrun, inflation run rampant, and our government send billions of our tax dollars overseas to fight two new wars.
Dems’ solution was to hire millionaires to tell us common folks everything was great, despite what we saw at the grocery store or gas pumps. Turns out people cared more about providing for their families than the false narrative that Trump was coming for their rights. None of which he did during his first term.
Change the message and messengers or else the Red Wave will continue for far longer than four years.

Lookup Yuri Bezmenoz - everyone in this county is emotionally bamboozled. Sorry to say. But all of you are idiots.
Thanks for your letter, Mr. Guttenbeil. Numerous books can be written about how Dems screwed up their recent election. Personally, I enjoy the delicious snacks of Democrat hatred and vitriol coming from posts from readers upset by the election results. It’s likely their hatred and vitriol contributed to their Electoral College and popular vote losses, in addition to loss of the Senate and House. It’s ironic that their rants and raves are virtually the same as before the election. But when they’re slaves to emotion, what can you do? Send them burn cream or a stronger Preparation.
Hit the nail on the head, thanks for your letter, Joe.
I disagree with you, Joe. Republicans are everything people thought they were in your first paragraph wait-and-see.

Maybe it's not so clear. Can you tell us why Kamala lost the Oval Office, the Democratic Party lost the Senate, and the Republican Party retained control of the House?
