Who is he talking about? Did he run and lose or is he the one who decided not to run (like Flake)?

Trump mentioned several others he suggested may have lost because they hesitated to campaign on his agenda.

"Mia Love," Trump said of the Utah congresswoman who trailed Democrat Ben McAdams. "Mia Love gave me no love. And she lost. Too bad. Sorry about that, Mia."

Trump also called out Reps. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., and Erik Paulsen, R-Minn.

"Erik Paulsen didn't want the embrace," Trump said.

Trump said the Republicans' performance overall "defied history," and he applauded Republican Senate pickups in Indiana, North Dakota and Missouri.

Unfurling his characteristic combativeness, Trump offered little of the humility past presidents of both parties have displayed after suffering electoral defeats.

How the president views the results probably will inform how he approaches the next two years as he heads into re-election in 2020.

Rep. Ryan Costello, R-Pa., who will retire at the end of his term, fired back at Trump on Twitter.

"To deal w harassment & filth spewed at GOP" members of Congress "every day for 2 yrs, bc of POTUS ... angers me to my core," he wrote.

And congrats to Chrissy Houlihan! Damn she's impressive: Stanford, MIT, engineer, Air Force. Puts Drumpf and his spawn to shame.

and like my former R who was defeated, they try to be reasonable and agreeable but at some point they did give their votes and I see them as collateral damage.

That's what you get for being in the party of gerrymandering, voter suppression, neo-Nazi's, the KKK, and white supremacists.
take a good long look in the mirror and then, go fuck yourself.
