GOP Rep. Mayra Flores: 'The Red Wave Did Not Happen'

Republican Rep. Mayra Flores, who won a special election earlier this year but then lost Tuesday against Democratic incumbent Rep. Vicente Gonzales, had a sharp tweet after her loss saying the Red Wave expected by some election watchers didn't happen. She tweeted: "The RED WAVE did not happen. Republicans and Independents stayed home. DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE RESULTS IF YOU DID NOT DO YOUR PART!"

I honestly don’t know you all expected.

It’s a major problem.

Your statement doesn’t align with the voting place/exit poll info. Dens had low turnout vs GOP. I think abortion was the issue,along with voter machine “malfunctions”. Look at the CA, MI, etc. abortion voter questions. That is what we atre dealing with.

I know this isn’t a popular statement but I know lots of D’Souza abd Independents and they HATE Ron DiSantis and HATE Florida. It’s irrational, I know, but it started with Covid. These people believe that DiSantis policies caused the whole country to be afflicted with Covid and for a longer period if time than if he’d followed Fauci. Thry hate Fla because of him and because of all the Conservative that live/are moving there. They see him as much more extreme than Trump, policy-wise, though they don’t like Trump, they have a weird, visceral hatred for DS/Fla.

We can’t expect God to have mercy on our country after we turned our back on him in the 60’s, and continue to disobey Him to this very day.

Wake up and pay attention.

You made a claim - now provide the evidence.

Otherwise all you're doing is jackassin'.

You have been on this forum long enough. You witnessed 2020 the same as everyone else.

You have read the same information I have. As they say on here “search works”.

If you haven’t come to the same conclusions then that’s you’re problem. I can’t help you.

If these problems are not fixed you won’t win in 2024 no matter who you pick.

I saw what was going on since at least 2016.

Re: 68 - So what is cheating in that? SPECIFICALLY?

And a word about Mike Lindell. He’s been jackassin’ for almost two years that he has the evidence of a massive fraud from the 2020 election. Yet, at every point, he has failed to provide the specific evidence, most famously at his 2021 Cyber Symposium where CISSP credentialed security experts traveled to see and review the packet captures Lindell said he had. He never provided them and has not provided to this day. Take what Lindell claims with a large grain of salt.

The gasbags of FR told us she had it sewed up.

She didn’t last long.

Agreed.

This, however, won’t drive them out.

They are still firmly in control of GOP, Inc.

Well, it is more people like McConnell’s fault than Trump’s.

Trump does occasionally make a bad choice though.

Republicans just don’t seem to be voting anymore and it is sad.

You are saying that Lake will win? What totals have been counted so far?

How many GOP voters sat this one out because “Dems cheat so my vote doesn’t matter anyway.” That is the real voter suppression and its self inflicted. Walker, Oz, etc., could have used those votes for sure.

Look at where we lost and why.

According to CBS exit polls, abortion and guns were the top issues for Dimocrat voters. See the first graph at https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-ELECTION/EXIT-POLLS/myvmomejqvr/

To even claim that you need to know in what order they count Early Voting, Mailed Ballots, etc.

Texas is also most obviously relevant to this thread.

The district this article is about went from red to blue (or rather two incumbents faced each other thanks to redistricting and the Pub lost). If it were a red wave/tsunami the pub would have won.

Specifics on how they cheated, please.

Curious as well.

Even if there was widespread fraud (and I'm skeptical myself), if we haven't figured out out by now how to combat voter fraud, then we don't deserve to win.

Another lackluster election, another cry of "We wuz robbed!"
