It always makes me nervous when I hear GOP losing seats. My hope is that the context is that it meant that those seats did not go to Democrats.
If I read the article correctly it was not lost seats they lost to republican challengers, this was not a general election but a primary, of course yahoo writes it up in a way to always discourage republican making you think they lost seats overall.
Be wary of the constant propaganda all the media outlets pump out, they never let up with the lies.
Literally the yahoo headline is written in a way to make a causal think republicans overall lost.
It’s a primary.
Probably RINOs losing to real Republicans.
It’s the primaries.
Perusing through the article, it appears to be a Republican primary only. An Idaho FReeper will have to break it down to identify Rino vs anti-Rino.
“My hope is that the context is that it meant that those seats did not go to Democrats.”
It was a Republican primary.
Primary, not general, where the party base picks their desired candidate for the party. Come on now, I know its early sill. 🙂👍
When Republicans support the Democratic Agenda does it really matter, the Republicans have had control of Congress that last 2 years, have they lived up to any of their promises 2 years ago.
The best thing that could happen to the Republican Party is this trend of incumbent Republicans losing to up and coming Republicans spread all over the country.
I know my US Congressman is John Rutherford, former Sheriff of Duval County, Florida for 8 years, you never hear from him, he totally supports the Republican Establishment, and his district is like 60/40 Republican, meaning he has no chance of losing except if an upstart Republican can defeat him in the primary, usually he runs unopposed.
This year he’s got a woman who claims to be 100% MAGA running against him in the primary, I plan on voting for her using the logic that Rutherford has been around far to long and needs to go, if for no other reason that giving a new person a chance.
I make me nervous when folks comment on headlines w/o reading the articles.
Perhaps we need to have a refresher about what the word “primary“ means.
Yep. Last thing we need is to end up with democrats winning these seats. They won’t win them all, but this is how it begins. See Georgia and Arizona.
I’d first want to know just how these ‘incumbents’ voted - what their records the past two years have been before I decide if I’m worried about it. Their positions on abortion, wasted money thrown at Ukraine, Covid 19 vaccine, illegal immigration......all that stuff. Without knowing all that those GOP’ers might as well just be RINOs.
Some seats went to RINOs...have friend who lost hers...but is relieved to be out of the Swamp.
