Fair enough. I take your word for it.
None the less, the terrible candidate came very close to winning.
With more money, GOPe support, he could have gotten the 9,500 more votes.
Being outspent like that means you don’t get consultants, you don’t get great signage, you don’t get great radio spots playing for weeks on end.
The other guy gets all the breaks. You drive around in a bus while he flies around in a jet.
While these might not be totally accurate there, you know what I mean.
He was stomped by folks who should have been there to support him. I’ve seen it so many times out here in California. Now you know how we became such a screwed up state. These exact same things took place with our candidates, abandoned to die on the vine by the RP in state and and out of state.
Lets face it our guys get nothing but table scraps. Then they tell us our type of people can’t win. B.S. They can too. Look no further than Trump for evidence of that.
McConnell and Ryan hated Moore. He beat their guy. They could’t help him, or it would have proven them wrong, when they said he couldn’t win in November.
It was more important to them to look smart, than to get our team elected.
This sucks.
It does stink. My house had to votes for Moore, but I saw something in my voting place that concerned me. I make a habit of glancing at the vote count. We only have two scanners. The vote count wasn’t impressive, but I noticed a steady stream of minority voters while I was there.
Not typical of my polling place.
And I dont think Ryan or McConnell care a bit for the Trump agenda. This is their opportunity to stop it right here. The Senate was impossible before. Now there is no way for Trump to get anything...even nominees through it. They will insist on open borders and amnesty andthat he leave the Swamp be...if he wants anything.
Trumps best move now is to go for stalemate for the next year - completely bind up government action on any major issue and govern by executive action on deregulation and man the border heavily for the next year. Use executive fiat because Congress will be impossible. Punt on the budget or anything requiring legislative action. Or trade DACA for something big. Let the economy help him. Hes going to have to fight a ton of rearguard battles.
