GOP Rep. Mayra Flores: 'The Red Wave Did Not Happen'
WSJ ^ | 11/9/2022 | Unknown

Posted on 11/09/2022 3:06:36 AM PST by Phoenix8

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 think this is the most under reported and ominous loss.

After listening to hopeful neocons, talk show hosts like Ben Shapiro and pro illegal immigrant republicans go on and on about how the democratic strategy of political power by immigration was a failure. Again we see illegal immigration/immigration as a whole is a Democrat power booster.

Flores was supposed to be THE champion and example of how Hispanics are moving to republicans. Also the shining light of how We are finally fed up with the broken border. She lost by 8%.

This happened despite the fact the Fentanyl wave killed 108,000 Americans (mostly young unlike COVID) and the Cartels are creating havoc along the border.

Yeah I don’t understand why people do not understand this.

Voter fraud is the problem. Until something is done about it we will continue to under perform or outright have elections stolen.

Red still topped blue overall. Besides, the fat lady has not yet sung.

I am in Pennsylvania. The powers that be have the cheating down to a science. We now have a moron for a senator now and a useless puppet for a governor. God have mercy on our country. The mess we are in is going to get way way worse.

I just caught Steve grinder whining

He’s saying a proposal in Michigan won that allows for no voter ID then he slams Tudor Dixon for losing by 8 points.

That’s not logical. Michigan did not just vote in a proposal to cheat in order to start cheating.

People are so ready to trounce trump they’re illogical

Michigan is already cheating

The district she ran in this time was redrawn and was not the same district she won a few months ago. It was a significantly more Democrat leaning district this time. The Rio Grande Valley is trending more and more Republican but it is not all the way played out yet.

She is right that a red wave did not happen. Republicans look set to take the House and the Senate but by smaller margins than they expected. If you look, Republicans largely did well in the Sunbelt but not in the upper midwest.

If you need it explained to you, you’re a lost cause and part of the problem. Pay attention to the last two years and the demonrats history.

Can anyone remember when the Democrats DIDN’T cheat in an election.

Two things the Democratic Party was founded on was racism and cheating.
