.@RRHElections Indeed, candidate quality matters:

The machine's Martha McSally who lost #AZSen by 2.4% in 2018, lost it again by 2.4% in a year that Trump lost the state by only 0.3%.

@KariLake this year is down only 0.6 there and the AG candidate broke even.

.@SeanTrende Besides, many Republicans/Cons who whine about Trump Candidates, made it fashionable or even a call of patriotism for Republicans/Cons to oppose Trump/his candidates, and when they lose (often by fractions), the saboteurs are like all "see? We told you." cc @brithume
Hey @SeanTrende @RRHElections @EWErickson @brithume: I am not sure how candidates of such low quality that they fail in high turnout GOP primaries, would suddenly win the general. The first test is to win the primary, and candidates need many of these "crazies" for the general.
In the #PAGov primary, 1.3 MILLION Republicans turned out to vote and the two main Trumpsrs won a joint 64% of the vote.

If the machine wants to degrade them as the crazies who turn out in primaries and to paint them as zombies who can't decide for whom to vote, have at it.
The people whose McCain lost NV by 12.6 points and whose @MittRomney lost it by 6.7, are lecturing Trump (who lost the state by 2.4) why his candidate lost #NVSen by 0.9% while the candidate he backed for governor WON by 1.4!

Oh, their Sen candidate in 2016 lost by 2.4 points.
BTW, do you remember the "crazy" Sharron Angle? Ya, she lost #NVSen in 2010 against the then all powerful Harry Reid by a smaller margin (5.7 points) than the McCain/Romney 2012 losses.

Quality Candidate Dean Heller won #NVSen by only 1.2 in 2012; lost by 5 in 2018.
I'm not trying to freeze your brain with data.

I am simply zooming out on Nevada over the last 15 years to show you that Trump and "his" candidates did there the same or better than the Establishment. I didn't know it until I looked it up now 2:00 am.

Get a life, Yossi.

Trump lost NV by smaller margins (2.4 points) than McCain (12.6) and Romney (6.7). His Senate candidate lost by a much smaller margin (0.9%) this year than the two machine GOPs who lost the last two #NVSen elections (2.4 and 5.0), yet we keep hearing about Trump & His Candidates.
The people who self righteously undercut Trump in name of #CountryOverParty, are explaining to you why Trump and "his" candidates have lost some elections (that many Establishment Republicans lost in the past and often by wider margins).
Many Quality Candidates that were going to win the general if only they won the primary, didn't um, how do I say this, win the primary against Bad Trump Candidates!

If they are so great, they would be the ones pulling in 40% - 60% of the GOP vote, clowns.

@rachaelmbade @SpeakerRyan @jonkarl @ThisWeekABC Funny coming form a guy whose national ticket lost 4 years before Trump's ticket won. I legit have no clue how he gets to say this without @jonkarl not laughing to his face. Oops. I do know. Jon is an anti-Trump hack who welcomes lies in the name of owning Trump. cc @BretBaier
@rachaelmbade @SpeakerRyan @jonkarl @ThisWeekABC @BretBaier Let's not forget that @SpeakerRyan used his 241 seats to keep a Russia Hoax cloud over Trump and delivered little to the GOP base (while Pelosi with 222 seats gave Dems/Libs many goodies). Then when the GOP base sits home, "see? Trump bad."

Absolute clowns.

- Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Trump all had DOJ Special Counsels against their own admins.

- Obama & Putin didn't have.

- Biden has one on his chief rival.

So much democracying.
So... Biden's DOJ didn't need a Special Counsel to do a #BidenRaidOnTrump but it does need one NOT to charge?

Obviously, the Biden DOJ's hope/goal is for Trump to be prosecuted.

You don't need a SC not to charge after not having one yes to raid.

Use your dead brains, zombies.
AG nominee Loretta Lynch named veteran federal prosecutor Jack Smith to head the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, which prosecutes cases involving members of Congress, state legislatures and the judiciary." - 5/8/15

He is a partisan shill from the Obama/Biden DOJ.

First time candidates, fully and complete Trumpian and with a big focus on 2020, essentially broke even in #AZGov and #AZAG. Yet, Never/Non-Trumpers think that this (which would tip into wins with a slight better GOTV op) proves something AGAINST Trump...

A slight better GOTV Op, and #AZGov #AZAG R in GOP hands.

Less broken machines on election day; a day where the GOP outnumbered Dems, and #AZGov, #AZAG R in GOP hands.

Less Sabotage by Anti-Trump Blackmailers, and #AZGov, #AZAG (AND #AZSen) R in GOP hands.

But cry about Trump.
I love the GOPs/Cons who decry Trump's focus on 2020 but then those same folks keep whining how AZ and other states have the same election day/vote counting issues that Trump complained about and wanted corrected, yet you told him to move on.

Make up your mind, folks.

The most Trumpian/2020-election focused statewide candidate lost by 25K votes among 2.57 million given.

I am sure it proves right all your hot takes about Biden, Trump, 2020, inflation, democracy, abortion.

Oh, plenty GOPs voted Dems to own Trump so it proves 2 X 0, clowns.
This candidate, @KariLake, won 48% of the GOP Primary vote. By attacking her as a "Trump Candidate," U R saying that 48% of GOP AZ Primary voters are dumb idiots who if not for Trump would choose a candidate of quality.

Ya. Being condescending to your own base is a winner!
Lake's loss in AZ is narrow enough to be put at the feet of GOP voters who are willing to blow up winnable races just to own Trump. This shtick can be done to DeSantis too, so how does this prove a deficiency in "Trump Candidates"?

"Candidate Quality" is the buzzword that the Gulag Guards told the inmates about after breakfast was denied.

The prisoners turn on each other thinking they stand a chance if only they behaved better.

Dems can take out anyone with the same ease; regardless of "quality."
"They lost because they spoke about 2020," say the Gulag Guards who won the House, White House and Senate after spending years investigating the legitimacy of the 2016 elections.

cc @brithume @RonColeman @JackPosobiec @redsteeze
The Gulag Guards who spent 72 hours talking about Trump's fitness for office and the need to trigger the 25th after his slow walk down a ramp at West Point, R convincing the inmates that Fetterman's health was a plus for him.

I am sure that would be the talk if he were a GOPer.
