As Republicans faced a nationwide drubbing in Tuesday's midterm elections, supporters streamed out of a Dallas ballroom where they'd hoped to toast a win for US Senate candidate Ken Paxton, a favorite of President Donald Trump.
In the hotel bar, Michael Little, a 59-year-old businessman and three-time Trump voter, stared at the president's image on a television screen. "People are pissed off at Trump. Trump has cost us," he said, capturing a sentiment rippling through the president's Make America Great Again movement after the Republican Party's worst electoral defeat in decades.
