Fortunately, nobody cares much about The Wall Street Journal editorial anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The editors clapped back in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/donald-trumps-georgia-rewrite-11614902503?mod=rsswn\">March 4 piece<\/a>\u00a0headlined \u201cDonald Trump\u2019s Georgia Rewrite,\u201d in which they argued that Trump\u2019s attack against the paper was grounded in frustration following an electoral loss and that Trump \u201cis unhappy with us for recognizing reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat really seems to rankle the most famous resident of Mar-a-Lago isn\u2019t his caricature of our policy differences,\u201d the editorial board wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s that we recognize the reality that Mr. Trump is the main reason Republicans lost two Georgia Senate races in January and thus the Senate majority. Mr. Trump refuses to take responsibility for those defeats, contrary to all evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The argument the editorial board made is that the Georgia Senate races were lost because Trump pushed his claim of election fraud rather than focus on the theme that Republican victories in Georgia were needed to counterbalance Democrat domination in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Trump essentially told his Georgia supporters their votes didn\u2019t matter, and many stayed home,\u201d the editorial board wrote in the March 1 piece. \u201cThe GOP lost the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3715149\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CPAC-2021-1200x900-1.jpg\" alt=\"Trump supporter outside CPAC convention\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Trump supporter outside CPAC convention in Orlando, Fla. on Feb. 28, 2021.
