CLEAN SWEEP: Democratic meddling in GOP primaries paid off in a big way on Election Day
Fox News ^ | November 10, 2022 | Brandon Gillespie |

Democrats spent more than $40 million to boost Republicans in primaries for key midterm races..

Democrats' strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle.

All six of the Republican candidates who seemingly benefited from the meddling in their primary victories fell to their Democratic opponents. Those races include a number of key House and gubernatorial races, as well as the New Hampshire Senate race.

Democrats spent more than $40 million boosting those six GOP candidates, all of whom expressed support for former President Donald Trump as a leader of the Republican Party or were backed by him.

In New Hampshire, incumbent Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan easily defeated Republican and former Army General Don Bolduc, who was the Democrat-aligned Senate Majority PAC's candidate of choice to face what many viewed as one of the more vulnerable Senate members.

...

The group, aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, spent at least $3.5 million bashing moderate Republican state lawmaker Chuck Morse in an effort to boost Bolduc, who Democrats saw as the easier candidate to face Hassan.

Also in New Hampshire, incumbent Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster defeated Republican Bob Burns in the state's 2nd Congressional District. Burns reportedly benefited from $94,000 in spending by a new Democratic PAC called Democrats Serve in his primary race against a more moderate George Hansel.

“Nope. DeSantis 2024, even if I have to write-in. Many more like me.”

There are two-sides to the coin you’re flipping.

We just won’t have to do a write-in.

You would not vote for the Republican nominee if it isn’t your one candidate?

The other reason is Mitch witholding GOP funds from these candidates then blaming their losses on the “quality of the candidate”. He and his spy wife need to go.

The Kool-Aid Cultists here refuse to accept reality. Trump never was the savior, he was a cipher for me who even though he was Johnny Come lately, he expressed what I thought as a Conservative. Gets tiresome with some of the inbreds here, explaining to them basic logic. We don't need PhDs in the movement, but hell you have to have at least a 60 IQ. The constant squeaking about cheating(which I know happens)...I want to punch some of them in the face. Some imbecile posited(that means suggested to you Cultists) that the leftists cheated to give DeSantis the win. I have heard more cogent conspiracy theories for David Icke on Joe Rogan. If you read this and believe it, get a vasectomy or get your tubes tied immediately, you just can't breed.

Yup, this election proves DeSantis is the winner.
Trump tried to rally for his hand-picked candidates in Pennsylvania and they both lost miserably. He’s lost his touch. The handwriting is on the wall.

Democrats are grown men who think they’re college frat boys pranking a rival fraternity down the road. It’s stupid, childish - and as you can tell from how our government’s being run - destructive.

But it pulls in young political science majors- - bends whatever morality they had to serve the sociopaths running the democrat party. “It’s fun” “It’s a game” “They do it too”

Totalitarians and their young useful idiots. Yes, we will have undated versions of the Nuremberg trials.

Agreed, I am in NH.
The negative Dem ads started the morning after Bolduc won the primary. We got outspent in EVERY race. This brought out the DEMS in NH to vote in record numbers. My town had an 80% turnout of registered voters. Even higher than 2 years ago.

In NH2 Burns had absolutely zero money to spend against Kuster. Kuster is a TROLL. She has zero personality. It is hard to believe that a decent candidate could not defeat her.

The problem with NH is that we Republicans never have any money to spend on our candidates. This goes right down to the state Rep races. The Dem candidates outspend the Republicans to win a NH House seat or NH Senate seat paying $100/year plus mileage to travel to Concord.

sn’t it funny how Republicans have to nominate rinos approved by the deep state to have “electable” candidates,

Well because if not then McConnell [or the deep donor pockets behind Mitch] will not support them. Because they are all born losers.

Whatever happened to just using English to write a post?

Do you use all that gibberish in normal conversations?

FOX Propaganda uses the term "Democrat meddling" to lie about the truth that this was RINO sabotage of MAGA and Trump's picks. Cheney, Romney, and McConnell among others detest Americans and are showing they prefer Democrat wins over MAGA wins. Liz Cheney blatantly supported Democrats with the full support of the RINO machine.

President Trump has done the world a massive favor by getting all these enemies to not only take off their masks but to throw them on the ground and stomp on them. This is not the time to surrender to TWO enemies; Democrats and RINOs but the time to strengthen one's resolve to back Trump and the other MAGA Republicans.

President Trump was absolutely correct when he stated, "It's not me they're after, it's you. I'm just in their way."

It's a very simple question; "Are you McConnell's b*tch or do you want to Make America Great Again?"

NH does NOT have mail in voting. In my town in south central NH we had roughly 1500 out of 1900 registered voters cast a ballot on Tuesday. There were less than 50 mail in ballots. I personally counted(with a partner) 7 ballots Tuesday night that the machine did not read.

Republicans got OUTVOTED in my town big time. DEMs showed up in record high numbers to vote in person. The Independents DID not like Bolduc.
