Just like the Democrats whining about ‘Russia’- Nope- you didn't have ‘boots on the ground’, the right ads in the right places and a candidate who did what they needed to do. Whining about “Soros” or “Voter fraud” doesn't excuse laziness and incompetence.

Again, this wasn’t a failure of the GOTV effort... I can tell you I have NEVER seen the on GOP work this hard for this district EVER... The problem was they were targeting the wrong people!! The line workers killed themselves, and honestly NEARLY PULLED THIS OUT IN SPITE OF THE GROSS INCOMPETENCE OF THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE SHIP!!
Everyone I know (and I live in this district) was being contacted ad nauseam. 3 -7 times a day...
The problem was the people they should have been reaching out to with their messaging was never ever targeted.
You cant just angre up the reliable R base and win this sort of district here when the D’s are fired up... which they were.... YOU need those non traditional R voters, the I’s and D’s that went Trump to be engaged motivated and show up... and you aren’t going to do that by offering the same old tired Red Meat message for the party base... Literally this campaign messaging could have been for any generic R candidate for the last 15+ years... Not once was anything targeted at those non traditional MAGA/TRUMP voters to engage and motivate them to show up.. to show them exactly that the candidate GOT them and why they need him to help keep that agenda going...
It was PATHETIC and INEXCUSABLE.
