Trumps poison may be affecting the entire GOP slate.
Trump endorsed no one nor did he campaign for anyone in this race or as near as I can find any one in any other race. [Deleted]
So no Republican can win unless they have Trump's endorsement?
Do show proof of your statement.
I don't know why I asked. I know I'll never get the proof I asked for from you.
Opinions need no proof. You should know that by reading your own comments. The demand for "proof" we constantly hear from "conservatives" is hilarious. I guess they have nothing else but demands. How about you making a decent argument for your points of view.
Well you are right for a change, asking the feft for proof is "hilarious' since we already know none will be forthcoming from you. I ask for proof from the left then laugh my ass off because I know that is as close I'll ever get.
If that is true why does the left always ask for proof?
I and all the other conservatives here do. It is you on the left that base your opinions on your feeling rather than anything is actually true, practical or possible.
Please dont make a fool out of yourself. The comment that I made that you objected to requires no "proof'. It is an observation. You are free to disagree with it but it is not a matter of proof.
I am not but I am doing a damn good job of exposing you?
Then why is it that when I or another conservative gives an opinion either you or one of your compatriots , most likely your girl/boyfriend tessy will most assuredly ask for proof. One standard for thee and another for me?
Gee a Democrat wins an election to fill a seat previously held by a Democrat in a primarily and historically Democrat district and you are getting all excited and declaring victory in November.
In the last 17 congresses, republicans have held the seat 10 times ... kinda makes it one of those bellwether thingees.
The Democratic candidate won by a larger margin than Biden did in that district in 2020.
There was also a special election in a Republican Congressional district in New York. As expected, the Republican candidate won, but by about less than half the margin Trump did in 2020 and about 4 points less than the 2020 Republican Congressional candidate.
These were the last special elections for Congressional seats before November, and they were being carefully monitored by campaign professionals in both parties for signs of a "red wave" versus a "blue resurgence".
If tonight's results are an indication of things to come, the much ballybooed "red wave" may prove to be a Republican ebb tide.
Exactly, just over half the time or 58%.
Trumpsters such as we see here suffer the delusion that most people think like they do.
