Adam Trump-Voters-Are-White-Supremacists Sexton tweeted out parts of interviews he did with the leaders of the House Democrats and the House Republicans. The difference is stark and helps explain why the GOP performed so miserably in the 2022 midterms.
Let’s first consider the Democrat Leader, Matt Wilhelm. While Wilhelm is a reprehensible communist, he is also a competent leader. Note how he is already painting the picture that anyone who disagrees with his agenda is a “right-wing extremist.” This is smart because so many New Hampshire Republicans are so WEAK. He’ll be able to peel off these weaklings to block GOP bills and pass his socialist bills … “see I’m no right-wing extremist, I opposed that parental-rights bill because blah, blah, blah” etc. etc. etc..
And if you play the clip, you will see that Wilhelm … while a communist-dork … projects strength. He says flat-out that “bipartisan cooperation” means GOP Reps voting for his agenda and NOT vice versa. Quite the contrast with the GOP Leader, Jason Osborne.
Tonight @RepWilhelm, a contender to lead @NHHouseDems, says he's open to bipartisan cooperation but he thinks Granite Staters sent a message in Tuesday's election "…which is that they don't like the idea of right-wing extremists running the State House." #NHPolitics #WMUR pic.twitter.com/Ij8MJ58gxj

Osborne in contrast projects weakness. He seems still shell-shocked by the House GOP’s miserable failure on Tuesday, and whiny and apologetic … you’ll see a different side of me; I’ll change I promise. PATHETIC.
If Democrats had even a one-seat majority they would be saying that the voters have spoken and ram through their agenda. The GOP in contrast are preemptively surrendering. The GOP desperately needs new leadership.
Tonight @NHHouseGOP Leader Jason Osborne @Osborne4NH tells @WMUR9 the narrow balance of power in the @NHHouseofReps means voters will "get to see a different side of me" and "you're not going to see any partisan legislation get passed in the next two years." #NHPolitics #WMUR pic.twitter.com/HS8WjWn4nY
