pubs have no machine.


Hard to have a machine when you don’t have an unified agenda. The country club and MAGA wings of the GOP have diametrically opposed agendas and never the twain shall meet.

Lets blame the candidates despite nothing but red wins incl Trump and two red waves-

until nothing but fraud.

His endorsement record is so good that the censorship industrial complex at ballotpedia et al has obfuscated the results.

This is 100% fake news. This s/b about Obama, who lost record amounts and is cancer on the campaign trail. He barely even went out campaigning as acting POTUS in 2010 and 2014.

This is fake news fr same folks saying GOP needs to run more Romney/McCain moderates to attract independents. Not doing that Clinton is 93% to win.

The Rat machine is - Santa Claus with public money!

The GOP machine mostly isn’t, but over time becomes ‘me too!’.

The rent seekers know who’s in it for real and who isn’t and respond accordingly.

The truck driver beats the Goldman Sachs billionaire incumbent in the upset of the century in the NJ gov absent fraud.

Oh but Youngkin and DeSantis are self made winners!

That is indicative of wtf is going on not this fish wrap.

You keep lists of DeSantis supporters and just randomly tag us in threads? That's creepy.

Anyway, enjoy the next six years of a Dem in the White House, because that is what you want by your backing of a proven election-loser.

The article evaluates three election cycles. It cherry picked and you’re cherrypicking.

Yes, because Trump counts among his "93% winning endorsements" candidates such as Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and Chuck Grassley.

Meanwhile, in the races that mattered:

Governors:

Lombardo: W
Lake: L
Mastriano: L
Michels: L
Dixon: L
Perdue: L
Abrams: L (Let's not forget Trump endorsed Stacey Abrams.)

Senate:

Johnson: W
Walker: L
Masters: L
Oz: L
Laxalt: L
Bolduc: L

Secretaries of State:

Finchem: L
Karamo: L
Marchant: L
Hice: L

And then there's Tuesday's disastrous Supreme Court loss in Wisconsin, where despite being fired up over Trump's indictment, Republicans didn't bother to show up to vote.

These are the critical swing states that Trump will need to win if he wants to return to the White House and, as you can see, with a couple of exceptions, the voters in these states totally rejected Trump.

Trump has no path to the White House in 2024 and he's not even effective as a kingmaker.

The only "winning" Trump has been doing the past three elections is to send Democrats to Washington.

And in '28 it'll be, "Trump is the only proven leader who can drain the swamp! DeSantis needs to wait his turn!"

We can probably write that one off as well.

Even by these lunatic’s standards Trump will be too old at that point in 2028. But you never can tell with the Trumpies.

Nice job picking cherries-

https://ballotpedia.org/Endorsements_by_Donald_Trump

That is the greatest endorsement record in US history.
It is Harlem Globetrotterlike.

There is no close second.

-it lists success percentages so one can’t even get a simple total. The wayback machine shows it is purposeful obfuscation.

Pick me some more cherries while imploring me to ignore the fraud and blame the candidates.

To the cherry picked DE race-congrats fr 2010-2016-Dems won three national races of note: Obama, PA Gov and Coons. Good job on that one/

They’re the Washington Generals.

“In 2015, the Harlem Globetrotters management chose to end contractual relations with the Generals organization, resulting in the Generals ceasing operations. The Generals played their last game against the Globetrotters on August 1, 2015, in Wildwood, New Jersey.[11][9] Overall, the Generals had lost to the Globetrotters more than 16,000 times in their combined history[2] while winning a mere 3–6 games.[12][13]”

The deals have been made.

Rallies mean NOTHING They’re a sedative for actual political/ election engagement. It’s Trump’s opiate for the base. It’s a lazy strategy. They’re a pep rally to the right and a call to action for the left. They’re a distracting carnival show.

That has a lot of the overall political strength and shows the fake news nature of this piece.

Historically GOP has more power now than in most of the nation’s existence.

But, if what you’re saying it right, that doesn’t explain how a state like Wisconsin has a Republican majority in the legislature.

Here's how it could be true: The red districts, of which there are many in Wisconsin, are won by Republicans with small or moderate size margins. The blue districts (e.g. Milwaukee), of which there are fewer, are won by Democratis with overwhelming margins (even unopposed sometimes). So adding the numbers, the Democrats can have the advantage in any statewide race.

“most support abortion rights”
No, most are conflicted. They are uncomfortable and don’t want to take sides. They are repulsed and act negatively to the extremists on both sides. They are especially repulsed by the lack of context with reality in hard line pro-lifers.

They are political candidates for either side. But the Pro-Lifers go out of their way to be repulsive. Of course, the media loves to feature those with whom they disagree who are repulsive.

RFK Jr running as a presidential candidate ...

Except for his anti-covid vaccine stanch, RFK Jr is in the Bernie Sanders-Liz Warren camp. Far left but presents a personable face and has the Kennedy name. One to look out for...

It pretty much is since they started ballot harvesting and mail-in votes. There is no way those are legitimate forms of holding an election.
