Trump has never touched a drop of alcohol
Huh? I didn't make any reference to him drinking? Did you misread 'coattails' as 'cocktails'?

If everything is so great then why did republicans do so badly yesterday?
In Virginia a candidate said he wanted to murder republicans and their families (who he has met!) and given a chance to walk it back doubled down instead.... and he won! Handily!
I'm not a Trump hater (would have voted for him over Biden or Harris in a heartbeat) but he's long on talk, long on helping Israel, long on trying to be besties with putin and short on domestic accomplishments.
