This was a solid win that was lost due to GOPe incompetence pure and simple.

Can't argue with that. Bad candidate, bad campaign.

It wasn’t the candidate, he wasn’t great, but he should have won....

MESSAGING was wrong the entire campaign.... The messaging by the GOP/PAC and SACCONE was never one targeted at the Trump I and D voter.... Not once.. it was basically a campaign of red meat for the R base....

And that never got those voters to show up and vote R in the past, and wasn’t going to this time.

The complete incompetence shown in this election is unbelievable.

The sad thing is, the rank and file folks busted their butts, they worked harder int his distict that I have EVER seen... they did everything they were asked do and more.. but unfortunately what they were asked to do was the wrong thing!!!

They literally took these people, put them on a sheet of ice and said run to the other end... and dammit there hard work almost pulled it off anyway...

This failure was a failure of messaging. They NEVER EVER put out a message that was going to motivate the TRUMP MAGA voter who was not a traditional R... not once!

When this should have been the absolute PARAMOUT goal from day one!!! But not one time did they ever try.

Pathetic, inexcusable and if this type of messaging is their plan for the fall, the D’s will easily take the house.

Money cannot help a terrible candidate who won't even do his own fundraising.
