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.
Democrats spent more than $40 million boosting those six GOP candidates, all of whom expressed support for former President Donald Trump as a leader of the Republican Party or were backed by him.

Oh, and he endorsed J.D. Vance too.

Wait a minute here. I'm pretty sure he endorsed more than six candidates and a lot of those won their respective contests. Seems like Brandon is cherry-picking to fit his narrative.
That said, Trump did back some stinkers like Oz in PA. But let's not put this failure on his back when Turtle McConnell refused to spend RNC cash to back candidates that could have benefitted from it.
In the end, we did OK. Not a tsunami, but an appreciable wave nonetheless.

Ballot harvesting.
If a broken wreck like Fetterman can win a senate seat then the fix was in.

#2, lest we forget discounting how much ballot stuffing and ballot harvesting that happened in Zuck boxes and mail drops BEFORE the 2020 election as documented in the 2000 Mules expose, it must be remembered that millions likely did NOT vote for Biden, but VOTED AGAINST TRUMP.
That would also seem to be the case here-- creating FEAR and loathing of TRUMP-supported candidates even though he was not on the ballot, many were in essence running against TRUMP in this election.
A larger problem would seem to be Yertle the Turtle working behind the scenes to support or NOT to support those who would be loyal or could be turned to the 'dark side' of the Elite/establishment RINOs.
Its time for new blood in elected positions, and people are waking up to how badly those NOT in DC get screwed over in favor of a handful of 'republicans' who AREN'T. Turtle's people vote to raise your taxes going along with the Vegetable's agenda.
Time to continue to clean house of those people who have been traitors to the proposition that the Republican party stands for lower taxes, less government regulation, less big government programs that will never end once created, and the idea of supporting the rights of the individual over an over reaching government.
Do those fundamental qualities championed by our party EVEN EXIST anymore?

Michels in Wisconsin is a good example of this strategy. He lost to a dismal governor Evers, universally considered awful. The Trupistas do not want to understand that FPDT turns off as many as he excites, filling them with the same determination Hillary does “real conservatives.” What’s the reaction to the Hillary’24 trial balloon?

Sorry 5 but have to disagree with your comparison. The hatred for Trump is primarily a media driven event directed by Dems that have no pro-American alternatives to what Trump offers. The constant anti-Trump drumbeat from the time he declared continuing ad infinitum and not coincidentally refuted by establish Republicans, is wearing on the ears but doesn't make it true. Quite different to conservatives' reaction to HIllary who is truly a vile person and we aren't voting for the lesser of two evils and shooting ourselves in the foot at the same time.

In at least 1 case (Colorado) the anti-Trump candidate got the nomination and that person lost decisively.

#6, You think liberals don’t view FPDT exactly the same? Talk to a liberal…vile is the nicest thing they’ll call him. And many “centrists”, especially women, aren’t far behind.

This election proves that there are a lot of people who just aren't paying attention and if they did, they listened to the MSM. Even if one believes early voting shouldn't be allowed, the proof that every demoslut running shouldn't have been elected was evident long before it was election season. Good Lord, AOC won again and the brain dead Fetterman won as well. Just these two races prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that people just aren't paying attention.

6,
The media did not stick their hand up Trumps rear and make him say the stupid things he, in fact, says.
If Trump was even ONE part statesman for every TEN parts narcissist...
Remember that big Trump Baby balloon that British guy made and flew around various locations around the world? He sort of had it right. Trump is incapable of absorbing any form of criticism at all. He cannot process it. He goes into a hissy fit at the slightest provocation.
I voted twice for him. Stood up for him. Lost FRIENDS for having done so. I will vote for him a third time if he is the Republican nominee in 2024 (but if he is a third party I will campaign against him vociferously). But it is my hope that he is ousted very quickly so we can start the 2024 process with a clean palate.

This is such BS. So we should have selected weakling RINOs on the very, very, slim chance they would be more palatable to the delicate sensitivities of suburban women on their Peletons? Get a grip. There was massive fraud in all the mail in and absentee voting. Period.

Unless the “drop boxes” are outlawed in Philly, Republicans will never win another state-wide election. The great irony is that Mostriano pushed for drop box voting during the scamdemic.

Not necessarily true . Bolduc fared better in NH than Colorado Never Trumper O’Dea. It is difficult to beat an incumbent. It does show that the Democrats benefit from too much out of state money.

You don’t speak for me, nor the majority of the actual conservative GOP base. You and your cocktail party crowd looking down your noses at President Trump does not translate into hordes of people feeling the same. Why don’t you take your TDS to a site that appreciates the Republican establishment? Your schtick is well beyond its “Use By “ date.

Oops, forgot the most important part. My post was meant for #5, someone who curiously seems to know what motivates liberals and how they think.

The Obama/Biden agenda is obviously not for the American people. To win elections they have to be underhanded, which they have been very good at. It can be readily seen what's happening. Up to now the courts are not will to look at the evidence. Eventually they will have to.

I can tell many here there are ignorant people out there that aren't liberals. I have a conservative friend who sits on the fence and will vote democrat if he doesn't hear from the republican. Political ignorance is everywhere. I voted for Donald Trump twice I'll do it again but trust me many don't even know anything about DeSantis in Florida my friend is one. Dump Trump for DeSantis and DeSantis will lose. Neither men can 'beat the cheat' at the ballot box the democrats have perfected the steal. If nothing but 'lip service' is given about the paper mail in ballots and nothing is done to correct it there no need for me to vote again in my old age. This is the reason fraud Joe Biden is so confident and cocky he knows the party is secure at the paper ballot box.

There is a reason the Democrats spent so much on those candidates, and pushed the name Trump as often as they could, it's likely their polling shows it will excite their base in the same way Hillary excites the Republican base.
Remember, they have the likes of Google and other web services tailoring their site too. Ever talk about a vacation with your wife/husband, and suddenly find advertisements for vacation places? They know more about your habits than you might think and they support Democrats.

Wrong. Not a clean sweep. Kari Lake has a very good chance of winning once all the ballots are counted. In my state of Maryland, Trump's support of Dan Cox was not well thought out, but I don't think anyone could have won against the charismatic, smooth, brown-skinned, well-educated son of Jamaican immigrants, Wes Moore. The silver lining of these failed Trumpian candidates is that they brought new people into their campaigns, giving them knowledge and skills, friendships and networks that will last for future elections. If we have any future elections, that is.
