Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, an auto shop owner who was a virtual unknown before August’s primary election, pulled off perhaps the most stunning political upset in the country this year, winning a congressional seat in Southwest Washington that few saw as competitive.
Gluesenkamp Perez, a Democrat, defeated Donald Trump-endorsed Republican Joe Kent on Saturday in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, with roughly 50.5% of the vote.

We do all the time and it is soul crushing. OTH the RINOS are rich and can afford to sit out elections. They will be rich regardless. Politics is like a sport or hobby for them. For us prols, it may mean everything, a bad economy can wreck us permanently.
For us prols, voting may mean everything, a bad economy or corrupt Deep State pol can wreck us permanently. Our freedom is at stake and for a lot of us that is all we have.
George W Bush was a hero here on FR. Yoi want me to give you a list of GOPe heroes here like Ann Coulter,Karl Rove,, Dick Cheney. You’d get zotted for even mild criticism. Hell you’d get flamed for even mentioning Coulter if you failed to post a pic. And Rove wasn’t Rove. He was “Rove ! You magnificent bastard!!” So don’t go saying how we held our noses when we voted for them
If Reagan’s speeches, policies, willingness to work with Tip O’Neill were common knowledge today he would be treated here like the Dems would treat JFK.

From the numbers, it looks to me like GOPee bayoneted Joe Kent.
The establishment won’t vote for or help the populists (MAGA). Similarly, the populists should never help or vote for the GOPee.
The greatest thing about President Trump is how he gets ALL these piles of dogsqueezins to reveal themselves.
Yep.
Time for the bayonet.
[Trump had a very large success rate of turning out RINOs
during the primaries.]
“The establishment won’t vote for or help the populists (MAGA). Similarly, the populists should never help or vote for the GOPee.”
I agree.
Why am I not surprised?
always just outside the margin for an automatic recount
hmmmm
Thanks for the Trump truth.
You are correct.
Cheating.
In 2018, Jaime Herrera Beutler (R), who is half Mexican, won by just 6%.
Jaime Herrera Beutler (R) faced the same opponent in 2020 and beat her by 13%.
In 2022, MAGA Joe Kent beat Beutler by just 0.5% (1,000 votes) in the Jungle Primary.
Nobody wants to hear your facts. They are still not tired of losing, they are already trying to lose again in 2024.
I like your assessment.
