Why Independent Voters Broke for Democrats in the Midterms (Trump)
wsj ^

Posted on 11/12/2022 6:39:23 AM PST by janetjanet998

Republicans succeeded in one of their top goals this year: They brought more of their party’s voters to the polls than did Democrats. But in the course of energizing their core voters, Republicans in many states lost voters in the political center—both independents and many Republicans who are uneasy with elements of the party’s focus under Mr. Trump.

Undercutting the GOP advantage was that independents favored Democrats by 4 points nationally, the survey found, and by a far more substantial 18 points in Pennsylvania, 28 points in Georgia and more than 30 points in Arizona.

Independents always break for Democrats. Not all, but most. It’s as if they are ashamed of the D-label but not of how they vote with them.

No they did not

It is an ongoing cheating disaster

California broke hard for republicans where the stealers were not monitoring.

New York broke hard for republicans where the stealers were not monitoring.

Those areas tell the story. Arizona is a blatant ongoing steal

GOP leadership helped them take in. They sit back now watching them steal it

No this is not an election. No voters broke hard for anything except a last ditch effort to get us out of this nightmare

Donald Trump really is the boogieman for these people. Next time I take a flight, I am going to take my Trumpy Bear stuffed animal as my comfort animal for the trip. Hope the other passengers don’t react badly!

WSJ BS.

Lack of support by Republican leadership for Trump candidates is the true reason, because they would rather lose. After all, the Uniparty is still in control, and that is all that matters. The D/R is just a dog-n-pony show for the electorate. When are people going to start to recognize this fact?

Well then, maybe Trum and his supporters should start their own party.

The $20 grand student loan giveback and abortion were much bigger deals than I expected. When abortion won 60/40 in Kansas, we should have realized the impact.

If democrats are so great why did they not win bigger? all this it is Trump is spin to implement an agenda...the result is essential tied...when Trump is not on ballot republicans recently have been underperforming...see difference between 2018 and 2020 vote.. Trump should run...he still has his voters Biden and democrats don’t.

I’m sorry, but this election wasn’t decided by how people voted; it was decided by stuffing ballot boxes with fraudulent ballots. Period.

Face some hard facts. It was values that were at the core of the Democrat’s victory. A near majority of the population enthusiastically and celebrated the unrestrained killing of pre born human life, voted to legalize marijuana and hallucinatory drugs even for adolescents and greedily wanted their loans cancelled. The moral fiber of America is rotting. Great civilizations do not survive when this happens. Does anyone think that this is the first time a previously great civilization with a storied heritage has been led by a demented, corrupt lowlife and the people themselves are so vapid have been bought off cheaply with hollow promises and policies?

Further ask yourself. Do you really trust any individual who boasts that they voted Democrat? Would you want them in your home or deal with them in any substantial matter?

The disinfo rolls on. 2020 and J6 seem to have quieted even those who would point out the obvious anywhere approaching the MSM.
