The GOP has NEVER won a Presidential Election in which its candidate lost both Arizona and Georgia. Never.
And, speaking of which, let’s talk about the GOP’s woes in Arizona and Georgia in the Trump era. #TrumpLost
The GOP lost margin in Arizona and Georgia in two elections in a row. Not only did Trump do worse in these states in 2020 than he did in 2016 (he lost in 2020). But he also did worse in AZ and GA in 2016 than Romney did in 2012.
And since Trump took office in 2017, the GOP has lost the following in both Arizona and Georgia:
- Lost 2 US Senate seats (in each state)
- Lost US House seats in 2018 which it did not regain in 2020. In Georgia, the GOP lost a House seat in BOTH 2018 and 2020.
Since Trump was inaugurated:
The GOP lost at least one State Senate seat in both Arizona and Georgia.
The GOP lost multiple State House seats in both Arizona and Georgia.
At this point, the people who believe everything that Trump says and 95% of what they hear on Fox News, Newsmax, OAN and from their crazy uncles on Facebook will yell “but it was rigged!!”
Really? Look at the trend lines. Was 2016 “rigged” too?
The other thing that Arizona and Georgia have in common:
They both have Republican Governors and Republican-controlled State Legislatures.
But they were supposedly “rigged” in 2020? Which would explain Trump’s decline in 2016 and all the other GOP losses here … how?
Look at this and all the other patterns that corroborate the fact that #TrumpLost.
In addition to the fact that Trump has been known to lie about other losses.
Trump lies all the time, about almost everything. But this particular lie is a very destructive one. It shakes the faith people have in American Democracy. But he couldn’t care less because the only thing he cares about is himself and his very fragile ego.
So, as long as he continues lying, I’ll continue proving that #TrumpLost. And sharing the various facts that show that he is, in fact, a loser.

So, my take on the debate. I listened to the audio of all of it but only saw a little of the live video. And so I listened very intently to everything Walz and Vance SAID and not to the visual aspects of their respective deliveries.
I’ve known people like both of these guys all my life.
Listening to Vance’s answers, he sounded like many of the empty suits I’ve met in life. Lots of words. Confident delivery of the words. But he didn’t say much. And that’s not even counting some of his very blatant lies.
Many of Vance’s answers, even the ones which were not attempts to rewrite history, lacked any level of detail. He sounded like a student who read the Cliff’s Notes but never read the book.
Let’s cut to the chase and talk about the REAL reason some of the prominent Republican politicians and pundits who know and even publicly admit that Trump is unfit either still support him or won’t actively vote against him.
Some of them know the cost. And don’t want to pay it.
They saw what happened to brave politicians like @Liz_Cheney and @AdamKinzinger who told the truth about Trump and didn’t later try to unsay it (like @NikkiHaley). It cost them their careers in the GOP.
They see them. And don’t want to be them.
@Liz_Cheney @AdamKinzinger @NikkiHaley The pundits saw how conservative pundits who told the truth about Donald Trump fared. Some of them lost prominent gigs like @WalshFreedom. Some of them lost affiliates like @MedvedSHOW.
Some of the others saw the cost they paid. And simply didn’t want to pay it themselves.
As professing Christians (including some folks who actually are real Christians) spread false and dangerous information about Haitian immigrants and promote other lies from proven chronic liars), remember what the Bible says about lies and lying.
Ephesians 4:25, Amplified:
“Therefore, rejecting all falsehood [whether lying, defrauding, telling half-truths, spreading rumors, any such as these], speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are all parts of one another [and we are all parts of the body of Christ].”
And there are also some pretty explicit warnings in Scripture about being a liar, whatever exactly that means.
We tend to focus like a laser beam on sexual sins and ignore a lot of other behaviors the Bible associates with condemnation.
A quick question to my white brethren who, even in this current Trump era, continue to vote for Republicans:
Have you ever noticed what a high percentage of the arguments those politicians appeal to you with are based on appealing to fear? Specifically fear of “them?”
They play you the same movie script over and over and over again, with only the villains being cast differently. But you keep buying tickets to watch the movie.
It’s always some variant of “them” coming to take your [FILL IN THE BLANK]. Always.
First they were supposed to take your guns. Many Democratic Presidencies later, you still have your guns. You have more than you ever had before, actually.
Then the pitch was that “woke” teachers were going to take your kids and make them hate themselves.
A good half of society is all but ready to overlook Trump’s:
- 34 felony convictions for fraud covering up an illegal campaign contribution (Michael Cohen was sent to prison for his part of the scheme BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION).
…
- A federal indictment for taking, refusing to return documents containing nuclear weapons info, war plans and the vulnerabilities of both the U.S. and our adversaries. And then trying to destroy the evidence.
- A federal indictment for trying to steal an election which he and his advisors knew he lost.
- A state inducement for trying to steal that state’s electoral votes. A case in which the defendant was literally caught on tape asking the Secretary of State to “find” him votes.
The only reason that the election may even be close is because Donald Trump is singularly held to the most generous grading curve ever applied to any politician in U.S. history.
He is held to a different set of rules. The lowest standard ever applied to an elected leader.
Trump can lie, multiple provable lies every minute he speaks, and it’s not considered news. He’s just being Trump.
But if his opponents mess up even minor details in any statement they make - that becomes a matter of concern to the public.
Donald Trump is a man who cheated on his first wife with his second wife and on his third wife with a porn star and a playmate. The porn star testified under oath and the playmate stated on the record he told them they reminded him of his DAUGHTER.
