Interesting article worth the full read. Gives good examples on both sides and applies them to Massie. Our own 'autopsy' report. Too bad we don't have access to the democrat one for '24.

The Massie loss isn’t something you throw a party over but it’s gotta be much more satisfying in a quiet way because our enemies on the left-you know where they’re coming from.

When I clicked “continue” I got a message that my Amazon account was on hold due to a $544 charge.

I wonder if Massie is taking it out on his new wife.

It sounds like he did.

He took the position that the country didn’t need to be protected and that’s what did him in. He thought he could push for open borders and not care about Americans.

Male version of MTG. Egotistical show-off with no loyalty.

Some 95% of all human woe is self-induced. In Thomas Massie’s case, the figure may be somewhat higher, but it is impossible to exceed 100%.

Do not engage mouth before the brain is in gear.

It’s being discussed on the Ruthless Podcast today.

No matter how you try to re-frame Massie’s defeat, the people will remember that this was the moment when it became no longer just a conspiracy theory....Israel controls our government. It is there in black and white.

Feb 2024 - Massie was one of 14 Republicans to vote against funding Israel’s war on Gaza
June 2024 - Massie went on Tucker and exposed the fact that every Republican in Congress has their own AIPAC person.
April 2025 - Massie voted against supplemental aid to Israel
July 2025 Massie voted against sending money to Israel for missiles

Jan 2026-May 2026 - The Israel lobby spent over $20 million dollars (more than any Congressional race in history) to remove him from office. And they succeeded.

There is really no question about it.

AIPAC’s own X.com page claimed responsibility for his defeat the day after the election.

People who are saying it was about Trump or Massie’s constituents turning on him or any of this other garbage are just denying reality and re-writing history. Nobody but Fox News boomers are falling for it.

Massie should have sucked it up and did the right thing.

Whatever side you’re on, it’s important to stay grounded in the realities of voting.

Robert Barnes and one major poll had Massie at +10.

Seth Keshel said Gallrein in a blowout, about 8-9.

Keshel was right & the other guys off by nearly 20.

By the way, Seth also called the GA Supe race for the R (he didn’t make a call on the second race).

Seth also has Paxon up in TX by 4+. “It won’t be Cruz” at +2.5 again.
