Political losers often exhibit an impressive ability to deny reality and spin catastrophic outcomes into triumphant victories. They seem to believe that accepting defeat signals weakness, and will do anything to avoid appearing enfeebled.

Nobody exemplifies that character flaw better than MAGA Republicans who take their cues from the undisputed champion of reality denial, Donald Trump. The results of the midterm election last week are a prime example of Trump’s capacity for self-delusion.

Among the willingly deceived is the soon-to-be former GOP House Speaker, Mike Johnson. On Tuesday he was asked about the Midterm MAGA Fiasco of 2026 and responded by claiming that it could not possibly have been predicted and that no one could have known how bad it was going to be for the GOP. He told reporters that…

“With regard to the polls, that wasn’t my opinion. Everybody saw the polls were off. They were off all over the place. None of you projected the final outcome.”

Actually, Johnson’s remarks regarding the polls were entirely his opinion. Everybody saw the polls were accurate all over the place. Every one of them projected the final outcome. For a more realistic appraisal of the accuracy of the polling, check out what CNN’s data analyst had to say about it…

“How much Copium was the president of the United States drinking before this election? […] The polling clearly showed a historic wave for Democrats and that is exactly what happened, regardless of what the man at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue might have thought was going to occur. […]

“The bottom line was the polls showed that Democrats were going to have a historically strong line in the Senate. There was a good chance that they were going to do historically well in the House of Representatives. And showed that Donald Trump was the least popular president ever going into a midterm election. And they were all right.”

If anything, the polls under estimated the performance of Democrats, predicting victories that were a few short of what they achieved in both the House and the Senate. So Johnson is actually complaining that the problem with the pollsters is that they favored Republicans. Which contradicts his prior assertions that “the polls are wrong. We’re going to defy history, and we are going to be celebrating big victories on Tuesday night.” Even worse, Johnson accused pollsters of conspiring against Republicans in an orchestrated plot to undermine them.

It’s one thing to try to paint a rosy scenario over a difficult to tolerate situation. It’s something else entirely to manufacture a fantasy world that has no resemblance to the world the rest of us live in. Trump himself has weighed in to whine “Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest? How could the Polls be so wrong???”

Of course the answers to Trump’s questions are “Yes,” most people believe the election was honest. And the polls speak for themselves as to how right they were. But don’t expect Trump or his MAGA cult to embrace a reality that is simply too painful for them to accept. Poor things.
