I think the Trump endorsed candidate lost because the people there weren’t sold on the idea of a spouse getting her late husband’s seat like it’s a medieval feifdom! I don’t like voting for spouses, kids or whatever of politicians just because they’re related. I have of course just because the Rats were so unbelievably bad not because of my preference for the GOP’er.
I think you’re right. But they’re going to attempt to create the perception.
