This won’t sink into the thick skulls of the Neo-Con twats until November. This coalition took years to build and now the imperialist faction is throwing it away with mouthy arrogance. The political Left has its Woke faction to torpedo its party and we have Lincoln Project faction to torpedo ours.

15 or more candidates splits the vote. Harris was a “good” dim candidate with reasonable financial backing. Ex-military officer and a black man. Checks the boxes for some voters.

The R “barely cracked” 50 percent?? He won with 55.9 percent beating his opponent by 12 percentage points. Ten percentage points is generally considered a “landslide”.

It was 56% to 44%. 56% is not "barely" cracking 50%.

The Dem candidate spent millions of dollars on this race.

Continued off-cycle Republican turnout problem. Republicans — from top to bottom — need to be continually urging our people to vote.

He got 56% of the vote. A nobody GOP. Pretty good if you ask me. MTG had incredible publicity. Not a fair comparison by you if I may add.
