We lost bc of voter fraud everywhere in every race all around the country? Get Real. Democrats spending zillions collecting ballots from every warm body over Election Month is NOT voter fraud. It’s ruthlessly exploiting the rules they fought to get implemented for maximum advantage.

Those who lose always have all the excuses in the world but they still lose.

I’ll fill in what you skipped:

“That’s even more important in an era of absurdly loose early voting. If scads of mail-in votes are harvested before there are even debates, then the “campaign” doesn’t matter as much. You can run a tight campaign, make all the right moves while your opponent implodes, and still come up short because you got off on the wrong foot.”

“Oz was polarizing and it's unclear if he won over those who didn't want him in the primary.”

700,000 votes were cast before the Oz and Imbecile debate. Fetterman won by 113,000.

“Walker is flawed and we're looking at a run off election when every other Republican running state wide in GA had an easy win.”

Warnock is even more flawed than Walker. Warnock beat his wife up. He is a slumlord and voted 100% foe Biden Policies.

Do not talk to me about “quality” candidates.

He makes some good points.

It’s time to stop whining about ballot harvesting. There is no way to prevent ballot harvesting without severely restricting absentee voting, and while that may be my preferred solution, that just isn’t going to happen. Voting by mail is popular and there is just no political will to end it. So Republicans had better learn to win in this reality, including learning to do ballot harvesting of their own.

Republicans do just fine in plenty of states with no-excuse absentee voting, like Florida and Ohio. At this point, Republicans have no excuse not to have learned how to deal with it.

Also, guys like DeSantis, Rubio, Abbott, Kemp, Sununu, and DeWine had no problem winning by double digits, several against opponents with lots of money and institutional support. Again, there are no excuses.

Not sure what point you are trying to make. Quality candidates would have smoked Fetterman and Warnock. Instead, we got Oz and Walker.

Absolutely. And look at the candidates who beat them. If we want to win elections, we need Abbots and Kemps, not Ozes and Walkers.

It's one of the strangest elections on the books

Yeah, I think that's a nice way of saying, "most fraudulent".

Yes. That still doesn’t change the fact that Oz was a terrible candidate and a good candidate (like McCormick) would almost certainly have beaten Fetterman.

If McCormick was so good why did he lose the Primary?

"Yes. Candidate quality matters."

Yeah, that's why Fetterman won: "Me gambo he neela eli Pencilvania, Senatoe my wife goodbye."

This is the most ass-inine talking point to emerge overnight.

Hey, buddy, your dipshit author pimped "fraud". "To get the most obvious out of the way, a lot of people are yelling "fraud." Some hinky stuff happened".

Did you even read the article you posted? LOFL! Just keep typing with your elbows and be on your way.
