The people whose @KLoeffler as INCUMBENT SENATOR trailed @ReverendWarnock by 7 points in the first round and 2 points in the second round, have opinions about candidate quality regarding @HerschelWalker who trailed 1.4 the first time and maybe slightly wider in the #GASenRunoff.
The people whose McCain lost NV by 12.6 and whose Romney lost it by 6.7 have opinions about Trump who lost it by 2.4.
His Senate candidate lost this year by a much smaller margin (0.9%) than the machine GOPs who lost the last two #NVSen elections (2.4 and 5.0).
Also THIS year:
The people whose @MarthaMcSallyAZ lost #AZSen by 2.4 in a year that Trump lost AZ by only 0.3, are arguing that Trump's @KariLake being down by 0.6 in #AZGov and his #AZAG candidate breaking even, is proof that the McSally wing of the GOP knows how to win elections.

Trump in his midterm loses the House; expands in Senate: Trump BAD!
Biden in his midterm loses the House; expands in Senate: Trump BAD!
Dems have 222 seats in the House after the 2020 elections: Trump BAD!
GOP has now 222 seats: Trump BAD!
TDS is now a full psychosis.
As I noted multiple times in recent years: There is a wing in the GOP that destroys candidates simply to own Trump, and then these clowns say "see? Told ya Trump is a problem!"
You oppose Trump? Ok, but your sabotage doesn't prove anything. It can be done to RDS and others too.
In closing and good night.

Can you zombies stop chasing you tails?
Number of seats in the HOUSE for a president's party after the midterms 6 years into first (or only one time 🤓) being elected:
144 Nixon
177 Reagan
211 Clinton
202 Bush Jr (2006)
188 Obama/Biden 2014
222 Trump 2022
Are you getting this? See Trump vs the others, clowns!
Trump's influence in the GOP is SO strong according to Never/Non-Trumpers that his mere endorsement dissuades quality candidates from taking on garbage candidates (if so good why not run?), yet Trump stands no chance to win the 2024 GOP primary those same people claim.
🤷♂️
Why are we debating "Trump Candidates" when Trump is anyway blamed for losses on seats where he did not endorse and elections where he did not rally for.
Like... what's the aim of this exercise? Trump's mere existence is used by Dems against GOPs. So what are we discussing here?
People pretend that this is Trump's second midterm.
Ok.
House seat losses from POTUS election through second midterm (and total seats held by POTUS party after the second midterm):
43 Nixon (144)
14 Reagan (177)
47 Clinton (211)
19 Bush (202)
69 Obama (188)
19 Trump (222)
The GOP Machine messed up multiple Senate choices in 2016, 2018 and 2020, especially in AZ, NV and GA; losing 5 seats in those few states alone.
The retort is that "Trump dragged them down" but Trump in 2016/2020 and his candidates this year did better than Machine Candidates.
The Establishment handed @KLoeffler a #GASen seat and she lost including winning only 25% in the first round; trailing Warnock by 7.
"Trumps" candidate was voted on in a massive primary vote.
The people chose!
If you have quality candidates, they should run.
Oz won only 31.2% of the GOP Primary and by only 950 votes among 1.3 MILLION votes!
If you couldn't consolidate part of the remaining 68.8% of the primary vote and if you couldn't get McCormick 951 more votes, then um, how do I say this?
YOU WERE NOT GOING TO WIN THE GENERAL!
🚨
Days before the general, @EWErickson projected a Walker win.
Didn't Erickson know then of the Trump Factor and Candidate Quality?
Shows how dishonest his current take is!
Post election, he was prob going to say "Trump wasn't on the ballot so we won." Did it in #VAGov.
The attached is informative.
Trump "held two big rallies before the state's two runoff elections two years ago."
But...
"Will steer clear of Georgia" before the next runoff (as in yesterday's one).
Trump shows up? Blame him.
He stands clear? Blame him again.

Some of "Trumps Candidates" won 50-68% of the high turnout vote. Is your stance that a quarter-plus of the voters that you need for the general are idiots?
Others (Oz) won only 32% of the primary so why couldn't you consolidate the rest 68% behind your "quality candidate"?
Remember 68%.
68% is what @HerschelWalker got in the high turnout Primary so when you attack him as a choice, you are attacking those whom you need in November.
68% is what Dr Oz did NOT get in the primary yet the GOP couldn't consolidate the rest of the party behind quality.🤡
Fetterman won 57% in the Dem Primary.
Why didn't Republicans find a Fetterman-like candidate and line up 57% of the vote behind him?
68% did not vote for Oz so I am sure if the GOP found a Fetterman Quality (🤡), that guy would win primary AND general.
He went on to say more hateful stuff in the coming years and to meet with Farrakhan, yet he was accepted as a regular part of society including being a big Hillary Clinton donor and performing at a DNC event.
It then got worse and worse.
12/16/13: Farrakhan says Kanye West does not owe Jews an apology.
2/1/15: Kanye West and KK visit Louis Farrakhan.
Kanye West is a follower of Louis Farrakhan who years before privately meeting Senator Obama and other elected Dems had said that "Hitler was a very great man."
Farrakhan has a MASSIVE following among leading music artists, ball players and elected Dem officials.
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.
.@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.
@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."
@rachaelmbade@SpeakerRyan@jonkarl@ThisWeekABC@BretBaier@JeremyDBoreing Ryan was VP in 2012 to @MittRomney who lost a Senate race in 1994 by 17 points; who didn't run again as Gov in MA; who lost the GOP POTUS primary in 2008; who lost the General POTUS Election to Obama in 2012, and who relocated to a solid Red State to get a seat in the Senate.
- 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.
