Sorry but I really don’t think you understand US electoral politics at all.

Turnout in special and mid term elections is ALWAYS low.

The party in power must deliver a message to motivate voters to turn out, and whether you agree or disagree with it, really doesn’t matter, that is what it is.

Getting angry people don’t follow politics as avidly or actively as you do is counter productive.

Most people do not live or die by politics. you have 30% D 30% R and 40% I give or take. Large sections of all those groups do not follow politics closely. You can like it or not like it, but that’s reality.

The party out of power is going to be motivated and turn out in your special and mid term elections, the party in power must deliver a message to motivate those people who are not political junkies to show up.

The RNCC, GOPe Pacs and Saccone’s campaign itself has not been delivering a message to encourage the MAGA voter that isn’t a die hard R to show up. Need to Motivate them to show up, if you don’t you tend to lose.

Trump won PA and the Upper Midwest because he gave Is and disenfranchised D’s a reason to vote for him. These people didn’t vote R before, they aren’t going to be motivated to show up by a campaign that could be for any R for hte last 15 years.... And sadly that’s been the messaging of this campaign.

R’s plan on doing this in the fall, they will lose far more than 23 seats and lose the house, no matter whether Saccone pulls it out or not

Spare me the political-speak, mumbo jumbo. I've passed through all that drivel and I am way out the other side.

Read it all. Heard it all. Summarily dismissed it all.

It... is what it is... is a description of virtually anything. It is not an answer. It does not attribute responsibility. Moreover, restating a problem is not a solution.

I do not give a pass to folks who ignore the obvious impacting their lives, simply because the planets line up differently on an off year.

The voters - and only the voters - are responsible for today's outcome. We will find out today whether they deserve Trump or not.
