CLEAN SWEEP: Democratic meddling in GOP primaries paid off in a big way on Election Day

Democrats spent more than $40 million to boost Republicans in primaries for key midterm races..

Democrats' strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle.

All six of the Republican candidates who seemingly benefited from the meddling in their primary victories fell to their Democratic opponents. Those races include a number of key House and gubernatorial races, as well as the New Hampshire Senate race.

Democrats spent more than $40 million boosting those six GOP candidates, all of whom expressed support for former President Donald Trump as a leader of the Republican Party or were backed by him.

In New Hampshire, incumbent Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan easily defeated Republican and former Army General Don Bolduc, who was the Democrat-aligned Senate Majority PAC's candidate of choice to face what many viewed as one of the more vulnerable Senate members.

...

The group, aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, spent at least $3.5 million bashing moderate Republican state lawmaker Chuck Morse in an effort to boost Bolduc, who Democrats saw as the easier candidate to face Hassan.

Also in New Hampshire, incumbent Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster defeated Republican Bob Burns in the state's 2nd Congressional District. Burns reportedly benefited from $94,000 in spending by a new Democratic PAC called Democrats Serve in his primary race against a more moderate George Hansel.

Isn’t it funny how Republicans have to nominate rinos approved by the deep state to have “electable” candidates, but Democrats can get a guy with two functioning, brain cells, a geriatric pedophile, a dead guy, and a guy sitting in a prison cell elected?

It's not 'funny'... it's old bored sociopathic 'men' running the democrat party who think they're frat boys in an Animal House movie....

(well that's the cover for totalitarian thugs running the democrat party. Bored evil old men grooming foolish young men in the 'art' of politics)Nueenberg trials down the road...

I voted for Trump in both general elections, but I have long memories of him all the way back to the 1980’s. He has a tendency to blame others for his problems, back then, it was bankers and tax laws, Reagan tax cuts that were good for the economy.

I voted for him precisely because he is an SOB, which is exactly what we needed to defeat the SOB’s who run DC. He apparently wasn’t a big enough SOB, because the DC SOB’s defeated him, and elected a dufus named Biden, probably with help from the Chinese, who inflicted a deadly plague on us that reversed many of the economic gains that were the result of what Trump had accomplished, and got mail-in ballots permitted, which opened the door to vote fraud.

I’m hoping that he will get his ego out of the way, and support a good candidate in 2024, rather than running again.

I realize that this will not make me popular on FR, but, have at it.

Michigan Governor-elect James Craig addressed his supporters saying “Citizens of diverse ethnic, economic, and cultural communities, came together to begin a new day for our Great Lakes State. We are ending the division and coercion wrought by unrepresentative government policies that have brought decades of povery, crime, and recently unnecessary death and broken dreams, severely damaging our businesses, education, and trust. You all have rejected the dishonest and hateful plans to control and divide you and your neighbors. God bless you all you are Free again. “

Democrat, special inttests and RINO money prevented this from happenning.

Not really a liberal—he cuts taxes, supports school choice, and opposes gun control. He also isn’t the last R statewide officeholder in New England by any means. Phil Scott was just re-elected with nearly 75% of the vote in Vermont. Susan Collins was just re-elected in 2020. Charlie Baker is retiring, but was re-elected in Mass during a D wave year in 2018.

Would they fly as Rs in Texas? No, but they don’t represent Texas. If the GOP wants to be a 50-state party, then they need candidates who can win in every state.
