Re: “Flawed candidates and campaigns”

I disagree.

The Democrats have just as many flawed candidates and campaigns as we do.

The difference? The GOP and Conservatives do not have the political will, or the political passion, or the philosophical self-confidence to fight back.

Example - Minnesota just elected a state Attorney General who is a Black Muslim Democrat, who was accused of beating up his girlfriend, and who was photographed with Louis Farrakhan.

As noted previously, Presidential strength doesn't always translate into local strength. Alternatively, local weakness doesn't necessarily convey national weakness.

To wit:

-Reagan, in the process of winning one of the greatest Presidential re-election landslides, STILL hadn't the coat tails to bring about a Republican House majority: Reagan netted 54MM votes or 58% of the total (Mondale got 38MM). Further, Repubs flipped 16 House seats. Nonetheless, the aggregate Dem House vote of 43MM was 52% of the total, helping the. Keep the majority, and Dems picked up Senate seats.

-Same type of thing in 2012: Obama got 66MM votes/51% while Dem House members got 60MM votes - more than Repubs - yet remained in the minority.

I DO believe, that Repubs need to get a handle on fraud and be proactive. Dems seems to always have a "In Case of X Break Glass" plan.

But if we just whine that this is all fraud we are going nowhere. Combat fraud with building a wall of MAGA-loving centrists (they still exist) that overwhelms the faked votes. Lovers of liberty can't be flat footed in 2020.

We beat Hillary/avoided despotism by only 60,000 votes, we got tax reform and Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and a strong economy and NK willing to talk and Kanye wearing a MAGA hat. Now is not the time for people to bail because we lost the House.

Dems address defeat by sharpening their axes and becoming even more impossible. I hope weak-kneed conservatives finish their tantrum and get to work...there are scores of fellow citizens waiting to be red-pilled.
