CLEAN SWEEP: Democratic meddling in GOP primaries paid off in a big way on Election Day
Fox News ^ | 11/10/2022 | Brandon Gillespie

Posted on 11/10/2022 7:58:42 AM PST by Heff

Democrats' strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle.

All six of the Republican candidates who seemingly benefited from the meddling in their primary victories fell to their Democratic opponents. Those races include a number of key House and gubernatorial races, as well as the New Hampshire Senate race.

Trump has tremendous support...from a segment of the electorate.
I’m wondering if that segment can win POTUS again?

Nobody shows up to see Biden or Obama at the rallies but Dems do show up to vote.

2024 will be interesting.

The torch has passed. DeSantis’ time is now.

So you want to retreat and then pass the torch?

Establishment Republicans have been coaching us to do this for decades.

I'm not going to do that now.

BTW, Bolduc followed the establishment's advice and backed off his comments on election integrity. I believe it turned off just enough of his support.

Shouldn’t that read Mitch McConnell meddling?

McConnell didn’t want anything to do with these “Muh stolen election!” loser candidates.

Trump dropped these turds in our laps and then sat on his wallet.

IT's pretty much impossible to say if this is true or not without a comprehensive survey of voter motivations. The cost to do such s survey and study is probably not worth the return, because if it's proven that Trump endorsements hurt some candidates it will probably also show that it helped some candidates - I suspect that both are true depending on the locale and the electorate sampled.

You have your Trump can do no wrong people and you have your Trump is Hitler people - neither one is right. He's human and makes mistakes - for one he has a history of picking people for his staff and advisors who stab him in the back. On the other hand he put this country back on the road to prosperity that the damage of the years of democrat deliberate misrule and destruction had had wrought on the economy and the culture of the country.

Show me another Republican who....

1.) Has done something to stop our never ending regime change wars.

2.) Has challenged the Fed Reserve officials and their decisions by name.

3.) Has done anything about the terrible trade deals that have bankrupted our country.

4.) Has fought against the globalist entities such as the U.N., NATO, WEF, World Bank, etc...

5.) Challenged the legitimacy of the FBI and CIA enough that they have become a target of them.

6.) Points a bright light on the fact that the process of our elections is no longer legitimate.

If you can show me someone who fits this role and is on the right side of the issues that actually matter, let us know.

We can then determine if that person is better than Trump.

Until then, STFU. You globalist bootlicking loser.

Motor Voter needs to be repealed. The voting rolls need to be completely purged and everyone should be re-registered.

There should be an national check to ensure they don’t register multiple times and in other States.

There should be tough penalties for those who commit vote fraud.

I am sure others can chime in on ideas for voting integrity reforms.

I do not agree. The Left will attack ANYONE we nominate. They have drawn battle lines around the GOP as “extremist threat to democracy” and such. WE are the enemy to them. GOP, Inc. and its refusal to actually fight is mostly to blame.

A few points:

*Give up on NH. NH is a BLUE state infiltrated with Leftists from New York, Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont. I have heard for 20 years we are gonna turn it red. It NEVER happens.

*AZ is in trouble too. It is being infiltrated by Californites like NV and CO. Kari Lake is struggling in the biggest counties around large fast-growing cities like Phoenix. Pinal county has always been Leftist. When we win there, it is by slim margins now, and even that is ebbing.

*The talk of a “red tsunami” was gasbag happy talk by people inhaling the hopium. Liberals are entrenched in their ideology and are not going to change until they die.

*Looking at it with fresh eyes we did about as well as we could. Even AFTER Roe was overturned, the D’s did not increase their power, and indeed bled some of it. That’s a good stopgap.

*There is some evidence that Gen Z is rejecting many of the extreme Leftist views held by Millennials. Hopefully that will hold up over time.

You must not have been paying attention for the past 30 years.

The reason the media, the intelligence agencies, the FBI, big tech, the establishment Republicans, other countries, the Democrats, etc... went after Trump as viciously as they did is not because he is “mean”. It is not because he is “stupid”. It is not because he is “conservative”.

It is because he actually tried to make America great again. He refused to further the regime change wars. He challenged the Fed Reserve. He ended the bad trade deals. He fought the U.N., NATO, WEF, World Bank, etc...He challenged the FBI and CIA. He publicly told the truth about our corrupted voting system.

If DeSantis STARTS doing these things (he hasn’t yet), he will immediately be destroyed just like Trump. He won’t and that is why he is being supported by the Graham, Romney, Bush wing of the Republican party.

I am not willing to surrender the country to the false song of globalism. Maybe you are.

Are you a bot or a mo-ron or just the basic Trump hater trying to lure the weak-minded into the qwap you believe? Inquiring,THINKING folks want to know. Your sermon against D.Trump comes up as short as your ability to think beyond what the progressive rinos have trained you to believe. IF you are a real person you are guilty of hatebot thinking and if you ARE a bot you are guilty of NOT thinking. Either way....DON’T CARE! Can’t MAKE me. But thanks for the Amusement.

Geez, you GOP elite conditioned wuss! Yeah, let’s ignore all the ballot stuffing Dems, MSM fake news pushing, McConnell sellout meddling, CIA infiltrating, FBI corruption and George Soros operatives that have for years undermined the voting process. Just ignore all that and blame Trump. You weak spine wuss just want to go back to sleep and pretend all those things don’t exist because you don’t want to believe America is lost to corruption and evil. Much easier for you to have a fall guy to put all the blame on.

Trump is running in '24. Desantis will get crushed if he tries to go against Trump.

You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.

Get used to the idea.

Where else are you going to go?

Lou Barletta would have been a far better general election candidate.

Trump is still the main man and leader of the Republican Party

Nobody else can do what he can

Trump does need to learn from his mistakes and back off on his attacks on Republicans lest he earn his own new nickname - Toxic Trump . And deservedly so

The truth is that the main drivers of this election were

1-Mail in ballot harvesting and election vote integrity of all types was the elephant in the room. Republicans need to come up with a solution to this problem and secure our elections or we will no longer have free and fair elections. In some states we are already there

2- Abortion really was THE ONLY ISSUE to a huge number of women and they voted accordingly. This made a difference in some races, especially urban ones

3- it is necessary to reign in irresponsible and unsustainable spending and doing this is going hit the rice bowls of a lot of people riding the system. The big fight going forward is going to be economic in nature and there will be pain which will be blamed on Republicans. The Democrats made hay with the mere threat of cuts - imagine what they will do when the inevitable cuts actually occur. This fight is going to be a smash mouth, zero sum game of makers vs takers and the Republicans better learn how take care of their maker base

That’s the real problem. He’s not gaining new voters. Even worse, it’s attrition at this point.
