People may not get out and vote for the R candidate, because they do not like him/her and miss the point of the big picture, that the majority is critical, not an individual candidate.
I do not agree.
I voted for DJT in the 2016 election, I did not vote for Kelly Ayotte, and she lost an R Senate seat to a radical leftist by 700 votes.
It's very important to punish elected officials who betray the trust placed in them. When Ayotte renounced her support for Donald Trump and urged others not to vote for him in October 2016, I decided I could no longer support her. Not because the Senate majority is unimportant. Because loyalty and trustworthiness in elected officials is important, and when they don't have it, they have to lose something important, in this case, her seat in the Senate.
I'm glad she lost.
