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.

Dr. Oz lost the general by 263,000 votes after winning the primary by only 950 votes.

The people who couldn't come up with 951 votes to take him out in the primary are confident that they would make up the 263K votes in the general.

Speaking of PA:

10 point loss by McCain 2008.

5.4 point loss by Romney 2012.

4.2 loss Bush 2000.

2.5 loss Bush 2004.

1.2 loss Trump 2020.

0.7 win Trump 2016 (#PASen win too).

13.1 point Senate loss in 2018

4.9 Senate loss in 2022

Last two Trump wasn't on the ballot.

🤷‍♂️

Thank you defeatists Never Trumpers for whining all month how no-chance @HerschelWalker has in the runoff which helped depress GOP vote.

Thank you!

Go ahead. Let me read your latest Blame-Trump Thread/Article.

(Walker is a rubber stamp for @LeaderMcConnell so whatever).
For an OMG-BAD candidate, Walker held his own.

In 2018, Abrams lost to Kemp by 1.4 points. She was held up as a good candidate and ran again in 2022.

Walker lost to an incumbent Senator by only 0.9 points in November, and it is quite close in the runoff (despite defeatist NTs).
A reminder to @EWErickson et al that in early 2020, Kemp appointed Loeffler as Senator as the Establishment's choice to the seat now held by Warnock.

"McConnell backs Georgia governor’s pick for Senate amid Trump skepticism." - Politico 12/3/09.

Go ahead. Blame Trump!

This was 9 years ago this week.

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. Image
12/16/13: Farrakhan says Kanye West does not owe Jews an apology.

2/1/15: Kanye West and KK visit Louis Farrakhan. ImageImage
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. Image

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.

.@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.

@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.

@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.
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.
