MAGA Candidates Clobber RINOs Across the Country, the Rig Fails or is Called Off

[James_Madison_Lives]

Fascinating. No doubt the RINO and DemoRat hacks were eager and willing to crush any Trump-endorsed candidate, but too many eyeballs were glued behind the curtain. Media frantically downplays what happened yesterday. November will be a bloodbath.



Reuters; Trump-backed candidates prevail in U.S. midterm primaries

[Anti Federalist]

November will be a bloodbath

How do you figure?

Tudor Dixon won and is running against Wretched Gretchen in MI, as an example.

Great, she won the primary, and seems pretty solid.

Real Clear Politics has her beating Dixon in a head to head match up by as much as 37 points.

Wretched Gretchen could barbecue babies on her front lawn and still win with polling data like that.

Marxist democrats hold solid leads in the PA governor's and Senate races.

There are signs that the race for the House and Senate are getting very close, a "red wave" is by no means a sure thing.

Freedom is not popular at all.

Maybe the RINOs were eager, but the Democrats were spending money to get the Trump-endorsed candidates nominated:

In risky midterm strategy, Democrats boost far-right candidate in Michigan race

Democrats spend over $1 million to boost Dan Cox, the Trump loyalist and 2020 election denier who just won the GOP primary for Maryland governor

Boosting of Doug Mastriano 'Paying Off' for Dems in Pennsylvania: Pollsters

Democrats spend millions on Republican primaries (Pritzker’s ad buy for the primaries was more than triple what Bailey had raised for his own campaign)

It worked for Claire McCaskill in 2012, and now it seems to be standard operating procedure (which I find hilarious given the noise the Democrats made about election interference in 2016)
How I Helped Todd Akin Win — So I Could Beat Him Later

But I'm going to be able to laugh no matter which side wins in these contests in November.

Hey @PAF, even if you somehow believed in the legitimacy of electoral politics, what's your take on this? Democratic process? Will of the people? Or a primary process designed to present the general electorate with the worst options of each political party. ROTFLMAO!!

As a resident of Michigan, I agree with this assessment. Unfortunately I don’t see Wretched Gretchen losing in the general. Uggh!

H.L. Mencken was a prophet.

So was C.S. Lewis:

“I am a democrat [proponent of democracy] because I believe in the Fall of Man.

I think most people are democrats for the opposite reason. A great deal of democratic enthusiasm descends from the ideas of people like Rousseau, who believed in democracy because they thought mankind so wise and good that every one deserved a share in the government.

The danger of defending democracy on those grounds is that they’re not true. . . . I find that they’re not true without looking further than myself.

I don’t deserve a share in governing a hen-roost. Much less a nation. . . .

The real reason for democracy is just the reverse. Mankind is so fallen that no man can be trusted with unchecked power over his fellows. Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. But I reject slavery because I see no men fit to be masters.”

So that's what's going on.

It's even worse than Democrats spending money to get MAGA-Republicans (what they call the Grand Qanon Party <GQP>) nominated ... there are fringe Democratic groups urging Democrats to just outright vote for the GQP candidates in Republican primaries.

Sure would be nice if democrats cared who made it to the top of their tickets. I confess I was going to vote for Tulsi in the GA primary in 2020 because out of all the dem candidates she seemed to be the only one who would dare to criticize Hillary and live to tell about it. However my calculated risk was based on who I thought was the 'best' alternative to Trump if the democrats won, not the worst.

(this is comparing democrats to democrats, of course, I still probably wouldn't have voted for Tulsi in the general election but I think she would have been much more sufferable than what we have now)

Me waiting on democrats to rise up against the establishment on their side:

What all can you tell us about these so-called MAGA candidates besides the fact that Trump endorsed them?

I keep thinking of that scene from Moneyball where Billy Beane tells David Justice that the New York Yankees are paying him three and a half million dollars a year to play against them.

I believe Whitmer ran unopposed in the primary. You’d think someone would run against the incumbents, but Democrats run a tight, authoritarian ship.

Same with Stacy Abrams in Georgia.

I'll give it to the GA GOP, there was at least a selection. Some races had a half dozen or more candidates running, but voter apathy during the primaries is a tough nut to crack. Then lo and behold everybody wants to b*tch and moan about how our choices suck in November. Well, it's not like the primaries are kept secret. People say they want a 3rd party— well don't bother if you don't give a sh*t who makes it through the primary, I say.
