  He is, at least in part, most likely correct.
context: Yes Trump, largely thanks to 3 Supreme Court judges you nominated >
  
  Doesn't matter he gave GOP what they wanted and threw rest of the USA under the bus in process of doing it. People were pissed and they screwed GOP back. They have screwed Trump once and they will do it again if he wins nomination. This time around they might increase the girth of dong that they will shove up his arse. >
  
  He’s right, but kind of like Bonnie saying that Clyde is the reason so many banks got robbed. 
  There were two main factors in the GOP drubbing and he was one of them. I’d say his historical revisionism isn’t going to work, but all evidence points to the contrary. >
  
  Leave Bonnie out of this >
  
  Username checks out. >
  
  With trump, it’s always anyone or anything except him. Pathetic, lifelong failure. >
  
  I'd say partially responsible. There's no shortage of reprehensible shit to pin it on >
  
  I mean the GOP underperformed because, even with some electable candidates (Laxalt, Fung), they really didn’t do enough to move away from Jan 6, election deniers, and anti-abortion views, which ruined them in suburbs.
  That’s why you see Kelly winning by 5%, Fetterman winning by 5%, Shapiro by 15%, Whitmer by 11%, Warnock by 3%, Evers by 3%, Polis by 19%. Dems did insanely well in key swing states because moderate voters were afraid of the GOP.
  That’s why the GOP did well in safe Dem states (California, New York, Illinois, Oregon) because there was no fear over their policies being implemented due to the heavily blue state legislature
  But in a state like Wisconsin where the GOP gerrymandered themselves to a supermajority, the governorship is the only thing stopping it from being a one-party dictatorship. >

  And the April election this year is Wisconson's last chance until 2026 to break their one-party rule. Hagedorn's 0.5ppt win in 2019 was a disastrous setback. >
  
  The abortion issue wouldn't have been an issue if you didn't get to nominate 3 judges (1 stolen from Obama).
  Also, what has Trump done to help? He has hoarded fundraising dollars and consistently picked losers.
  Don't be bashful, Donald. You deserve a lot of credit, too. >
  
  Holy shit.  I'm genuinely shocked that this motherfucker is right this time. Is this the issue that he hangs his toupee on for 2024?  That will be the knife in the back of the GOP. >
  
  He was originally a pro choice, pro gay Republican before he decided to go for the fascist wing of the Republican Pary… >
  
  It's interesting that you have to reveal your party affiliation to the government to be able to vote in the US. That just seems fundamentally wrong. In my country we can just go and vote, and your party affiliation is completely secret unless you choose to talk about it. >
  
  You don’t actually have to reveal your affiliation, or even be registered with a party in order to vote in the election… the only time that would be required is if you want to participate in the primary, where each party selects their candidates. (I.e. you have to be a member of that party in order to vote in that party’s selection process)
  In Trump’s case… he was likely talking loudly and often about the party he supported at the time, and more specifically, how much he donated.
  To the best of my knowledge, there’s no way to actually tell a random voter’s affiliation unless they say something, or their political party massively screws up and publishes their voter information >
  
  u sure about that?! i can tell who the persons party is when they drive 90mph in a black dodge ram truck tailgating and being an impatient road raging assh0le /s >
  
  Trump also said women who get abortions should be punished. He said this in 2016 and people still voted for him. >
  
  He also bragged about sexually assaulting women and people still voted for him. >
  
  Republicans don't care. >
  
  Yes. The fact that he wasn't aborted really hurt the GOP in the midterms. >
  
  He’s so senile he forgot he seated the people who overturned it? >
  
  Yes I hate to admit it but he's right. It is definitely the fact that his mother didn't get an abortion when she found out she was pregnant with him. >
  
  Correct, but candidate quality (I'm in PA) was a factor as well. >
  
  That Oz and Fetterman debate was a goddamn circus.
  It was obvious Fetterman wasn't well, perhaps even unfit for office.
  Just as obvious, Oz is a cruel and petulant child & kicking a man while he was down.
  Maybe Fetterman will get better.  Oz will forever be a piece of shit. >
  
  “There should be some form of punishment, yes” - Donald J. Trump when asked about abortion… >
  
  
  WALLACE: You just said you want to see the court protect the Second Amendment. Do you want to see the court overturn Roe v. Wade?
  TRUMP: Well, if we put another two or perhaps three justices on, — that will happen and that will happen automatically in my opinion because I am putting pro-life justices on the court. >
  
  Sure, now Trump doesn’t want to take credit. >
  
  March 30, 2016 Trump Backtracks On Comments About Abortion And 'Punishment' For Women >
  
  Wasn’t Trump anti abortion*?
  (*except for his mistresses of course) >
  
  Mhm. And who was it who put three justices on the SCOTUS who voted to remove the protections and make it such a bigger issue? >
  
  This. Might. Be. The. Closest. He. Has. Ever. Come. To. Being. Correct…. >
  
  That's Trump, take no responsibility, only credit for success, if there is any.
  
  Trump said Republican voters who pushed against abortion for decades “got their wish” from the Supreme Court in overturning Roe v. Wade and “just plain disappeared.”
  
  Hey, remind me again, who put three of those people on the Supreme Court?
  And as far as disappeared, those people have already said they will be coming after gay rights; expect contraception, and then who knows what, to follow. >
  
  He's not wrong, abortion issues moved a lot of people to the polls. 
  Democrats mostly fortunately. >
  
  Well yes but also the threat on democracy as well. >
  
  Well for once he's not wrong. The sun DOES shine on a dog's ass once in a while! >
  
  TIL the deranged buffoon was unsuccessfully aborted. >
  
  As much as i hate to say it,  he's not wrong on that count. >
  
  Because it totally wasn’t because he helped hand pick some bad candidates.  /s
  He never takes blame for anything.  Nothing is ever his fault. >
  
  Oh i don't disagree.  It was a shitshow combination of things.  I will say something to my personal feelings when i voted. I'm tired of the economy being manipulated to push a vote one way or the other.  It's amazing how quickly things started easing up after the midterms.  Like i said that's just my personal unvalidated feelings on the whole thing. >
  
  Iam sure he's quite the expert on abortions. >
  
  He’s not wrong. But he’s saying it because he wants to steer the blame off of him. This is funny because he nominated a third of the court who did it. >
  
  Trump is right, abortion rights is an issue that affected GOP performance, but he also has a lot of blame for this occurring on top of his general poor performance in picking candidates and irresponsible and criminal behavior. >
  
  …but he conveniently left out the voters’ rejection of election deniers. Wonder why. >
  
  Surprisingly enough, I think he's actually right on this one. Well, even a broken clock... >
  
  As much as it pains me to says this......  Trump is probably right. >
  
  Who the fuck cares what trump says? >
  
  Abortion.  No party focus except for Christian Theocracy.  Attacks on Gays in particular and LBGTQ+ in general.  Attack on our seat of democracy on J6.  And not one single positive reason to vote for them.  Only accusations against Dems designed to raise fear.  That's why they "underperformed".  That's their future also.  Oh, add in taking away contraception from all women.  Ugh. >
  
  Well yeah but not the way he says, too bad he can't realize it's him >
  
  Far from the only issue. Far from it.
  Not listening to people under 35 and caring what their concerns actually are and actually speaking to it would be a great place to start. >
  
  Oh no... Hes learning... >
  
  Am I seeing things, or is he right for once, at least partially? >
  
  Sorry, but keep it moving. Nothing to see here. 
  There’s often a little kernel or nugget of truth to what he says, but then he blows it up out of proportion or ignores other things or takes it out of context. 
  Of course abortion hurt Republicans. No one who was watching the midterms or commenting on them would seriously argue otherwise. All media reports I listened to said that abortion mattered to voters in a way that wasn’t captured accurately in polling. 
  But we also all know that results, in life, are rarely driven by one factor. They are driven by a multitude of factors. Abortion restrictions, which he set into motion, may not themselves have been enough to tip the scales against Republicans. But when you combine that with poor candidate quality, that was enough. 
  So Trump, you’re right. But you’re only partially right. 
  A + B + C = D(emocrats winning). 
  A = Abortion. B = bad candidates backed by Trump.  C = Crazy Trump. >
  
  Good point. Was just shocked at him even being partially right. >
  
  I understand. It’s like he’s coming to his senses a little late but he’s sounding a lot more rational than he has lately. I think he gets that this is a huge problem for him and thinks he found a clever way to get out of it and I just really don’t want that to succeed for him. I don’t want people to be led down the path of thinking it was only abortion and he’s not that bad. Sorry if I sounded preachy. The only one who irritate me is Trump and his followers.
