Distressed Republicans say Democratic victories across the country on Tuesday night show their congressional majorities are at risk in next years midterm elections.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said he predicted the rough election night and said the party needs to make changes quickly before the midterms arrive.
Unless we get our act together, were going to lose heavily, he said.
The results offered fresh evidence of a political backlash against President Trump, which several Republicans said, in combination with a failure to win legislative victories, could cost the party the House majority.
The best way to get run over by this train is to stand still, said Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), a former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).

(8,684 posts)Because their answer to what they are doing wrong is we are not far enough to the right.
The majority of them believe that if they use the word god more, take a harder line on immigration and can repeal the ACA that republicans, Independents and centrist Democrats will flock to the republican party because that is what the people want.
Despite that being the polar opposite of what voters said on Tuesday.
The Republican Party is unapologetically racist, misogynistic, kleptocratic and narcissistic religious zealots and they will never change.
