Republicans should have won the Senate easily, but they nominated really bad candidates

Washington Examiner ^ | November 9, 2022 | Timothy P. Carney

There’s a lot of noise as these midterm results flow in, and a few unsettled races at the moment, but this much is clear: Republicans would control the Senate next year had they stuck to nominating good candidates. Instead, typical of the Tea Party-to-Trump Era, Republicans in many key states nominated people who were patently unfit for office.

It goes back to the Massie Theorem. Rep. Thomas Massie explained the Tea Party after the 2016 election.

"All this time," Massie said, "I thought they were voting for libertarian Republicans. But after some soul-searching, I realized when they voted for Rand and Ron and me in these primaries, they weren't voting for libertarian ideas. They were voting for the craziest son of a b**** in the race. And Donald Trump won best in class.”

Nominating the craziest son of a b**** in the race is not a formula for winning governing majorities.

Here’s the raw math:

Republicans, as of 5 a.m. Wednesday, control 48 seats in the Senate, with four states outstanding. (Technically, Alaska is still outstanding, but it is undecided between two Republican candidates.) Republican Ron Johnson will probably win reelection in Wisconsin. That means the GOP would need to win two of the final three races — outstanding contests in Nevada and Arizona, and a likely runoff in Georgia — to control the Senate. So, the odds are decent that Republicans end up with 49 or 50 seats, which is 1 or 2 seats short of Senate control.

Republicans should have won the Georgia Senate race easily this year. They also should have won Pennsylvania.

In Georgia, former NFL running back Herschel Walker will get about 48% or 49% as Gov. Brian Kemp gets about 54%.

Yeah.

Thank you! The best candidate in the world can’t beat the cheat. I’m glad you and some others can see what should be obvious to everyone, which is that we may never win another national election again unless the U.S. Supreme Court rules that ballot harvesting and elections of unlimited duration are unconstitutional and we go back to the old LEGITIMATE system of elections.

[iamgalt]

The cheating is so baked in now l do not see how Trump can win. Actually unless Biden is running l don’t see how any Republican can win. Early voting, mail voting, the Dominion machines, no ID laws on and on. We are a regional party now.

[chajin]

Republicans in many key states nominated people who were patently unfit for office.

And Franken? Fetterman? Obama? These were "patently fit for office"?

It has nothing to do with their fitness. It has to do with voters wanting Democrat-socialist-give-me-free-stuff representatives, regardless of their fitness or unfitness for office.

[FlyingEagle]

Not buying this. Explain to me how Fetterman is not patently unfit for office. Its all about the steal and always has been with Marxist “election” “count”.

[sarge83]

The establishment is probably good with yet another L if they can get rid of Trump in the process. They threw the 2018 and 2020 elections to try and get rid of him.

I suspect even if they do rid themselves of Trump they have accepted so much criminal activity the 2024 election is going to be yet another L.

[dforest]

I am staying of the useless primary merry go ‘round. Sick of elections all the time dominating everything. Even when we win, we don’t ever get anything we voted for out of Congress.

I am going to try and enjoy what is left for my life the best I can. I am no longer going to waste my time on thinking a mere politician can turn this wretched boat around. This disease is world wide and that is a tough nut to crack.

[z3n]

Oz is a bad candidate, but Fetterman isn’t???

[allendale]

No matter how you analyze it the people of Pennsylvania are so debased that they sent a bizarre, demented marxist to the United States Senate. They are not alone in their self destructive behavior. How any rational, decent person voted for the death and devolution that have been brought to America by the corrupt Biden and his cabal is bewildering. It strongly suggests that the majority of the American people are not worth much. Sorry but once a person is identified as a Democrat voter, have little or nothing to do with such cruel, inhuman people.

[Leaning Right]

> I really did not see a lot of enthusiasm for Oz here from the get-go. <

If you made a list of ten things that make a bad candidate, Oz would check off at least eight of them. It’s a mystery that Trump never saw that.

Now, Fetterman checks off all ten. Yet he got elected. That’s the second mystery here. My best guess is that it all boiled down to campaign ads. Fetterman’s were excellent. Oz’s were not nearly as good.

[FreedomPoster]

Let’s not ignore the tens of millions of dollars of out of state campaign funding Warnock got, largely used on nasty attack ads.

[1Old Pro]

Even when we win, we don’t ever get anything we voted for out of Congress.

Yep, thus the lackluster GOP turnout all the time.

CODE CRACKED ON ELECTION THEFT (Hostage Vanity From Nick Moseder)

12 minute video:
https://rumble.com/v1eo1ec-huge-counterfeit-ballots-being-injected-nationwide.html

Nick’s video outlines the elements of the steal. Whoever masterminded this was clever and very smart, but not completely.

Long short:
1. A voter marks choices on a paper ballot, not knowing the ballot’s calibration marks are deliberately off.
2. (Some) The paper ballots are therefore defective, and when scanned are diverted to a folder of rejected image files.
3. Replacement ballots with proper calibration marks are printed to match the rejected ballots and are rescanned successfully.
4. The voter markings of rejected ballots are ‘partially’ copied over to the replacement ballots.

The above steps allow for a particular candidate’s votes to be altered while preserving down ballot totals.

Note in passing:
Nick mentions Heidar Garcia from Tarrant County, Texas. Garcia is elections administrator for Tarrant County. Garcia is a native Venezuelan who came from Panama where he worked 12 years for Smartmatic. Smartmatic is ultimately owned by Soros.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

This is posted for further development.

The content gets moderately technical for those that are trained, highly technical for the untrained. Can’t fix gap in understanding yet without schematics, cartoons, everyday analogies.

But expect Nick Moseder, in concert with former Law Professor David Clements and his wife Erin (Erin is an engineer and is off the scales sharp), will in days ahead, perfect the mass media presentation to inform all Americans who are living day to day in a concerned state about our compromised, subverted election systems.

I will leave here a personal knowledge nugget. Each pdf printed paper has ‘microcode’ printed with it that has information regarding printer, print time, location, and other details. It requires special equipment to read the microcode.

I assert a reason that access is blocked to paper and image ballots for audits is that the embedded microcode will not match with scanned information.

[Drew68]

Now the blame-game starts. This is a tactic to try and get Trump not to run.

Trump needs to go away. The future belongs to Ron DeSantis.

[Kazan]

What load of horse sh#t.

Anyone that thinks this election wasn't as rigged as the last one is fooling themselves.

[nickcarraway]

Fetterman is a terrible candidate, but so was Oz. At least fetterman’s team was campaigning all summer long, while Oz took a vacation for the summer and let fetterman get ahead.

[V_TWIN]

Re. Hobbs.....As secretary of state she oversees state elections......no conflict of interest there.

SMH

[Tired of Taxes]

The Dems had terrible candidates who still won.

Here’s why they won:

Dems vote for their party. They vote (D) no matter what. Dems gang up to attack Republicans.

Republicans vote for principles. They won’t vote (R) if they don’t think the candidate is perfect. Republicans attack each other.

He's not a politician, he should have listened to Kelly Ann.
