Sorry to point out to worriers, but the sky is NOT falling.
That too!
This was a rural state senate seat race special election held because the present state senator took a position in state government. It was held in bitter cold mid January that nobody knew about .Because focusing was on the next primary election which is scheduled for Feb 20th for judges (supreme court) and county board supervisors and should have been held then .
The “real base” probably constitutes about 35% of the voters. If you hold out for those “anti-globalist MAGA candidates” in every race, you’re going to end up with complete Democrat control of all branches of government for decades.
Bull. The electorate is tired of globalists, that was Trump’s appeal. It is the Free Traitors™ that at the tiny minority.
Your narrative isn't even supported by the facts, dude.
The fact is Trump beat 16 globalists to get the nomination. The fact is both parties represent the globalist interests and not the interest of the American people. The fact is both parties combined represent about 25% of the electorate, if that. The fact is the GOe stops that America First candidate in the primaries. Then if they win the GOPe undercuts them in the general. The fact is I think you are another Free Traitor™ and can go to hell.
Ironically, there's a good chance that he wouldn't have won the nomination if he had been running against ONE opponent.
The fact is I think you are another Free Traitor™ and can go to hell.
The fact is I'm not -- and I don't give a flaming sh!t what you think.
Maybe that is because the democrats are b*tch slapping the republicans everyday and they are kneeling before rogue judges begging for relief instead of wielding the stick they have.
But what can you expect from a Senate that thinks a Democrat Senator fits better in the Senate than an avowed Christian Republican.
It’s almost as if turnout = victory. Fancy that.
Senate District 10 is one of 710 state legislative districts that intersect with one or more Pivot Counties. These 206 Pivot Counties voted for Donald Trump (R) in 2016 after voting for Barack Obama (D) in 2008 and 2012. In 2016, Trump won the district with 55.30 percent of the vote. Hillary Clinton (D) received 38.05 percent.
In other words, this is largely a swing district as a whole and the seat was open.
Gogeo
You can not ignore what happened in Alabama. Their attack worked and will be used again.
You can’t buy off on it either. Alabam was a contrived attack and you have to blow it off. Are you willingly being manipulated? Are you a squish?
“More evidence of a blue wave. Is there any way to avoid a Dem takeover at this point?” Time to run to Canada - ha ha ha ha NEVER the sky is not falling.
Turnout will determine everything.
Not repealing Obamacare is really hurting the Republicans. The RINOS have lost the trust of conservative voters.
Nope, I am also not an Alabama voter who did fall for it, the rino’s attacking didn’t help either..
you are missing the point.
The attack worked. you don’t have to fool everyone. Just enough of them.
