"Gary L. Rose, chairman of the Department of Government at Sacred Hearst University, said that watching the primary returns on Tuesday, Levy’s evening-long double-digit lead over Klarides was quite extraordinary, especially as towns with reputations for educated, moderate party members voted for Levy."

The condescension just drips.

Should we be thinking about the survival of America rather than which bathroom to use? Is the choice of pronouns more important than avoiding a nuclear war? Great minds want to know! /s

If Levy starts polling within reach of Senator Stolen Valor you will see some serious ugly dirt thrown at her by the CT Dem machine.

There is a fundamental misunderstanding on the part of the GOPe and indeed the DNCe.

It is that being a lifelong party adherent and being in politics for over 10 years is something to viewed with contempt. Not praise or admiration. Contempt.

Does this mean you can only run unknowns? It does. It largely does.

Does this mean you always lose? No, it does not. CT is going to be lost anyway. It’s time to get the local state legislature Swamp drained.

It is the basic misunderstanding or refusal to understand that threatens the structure. DRAIN THE SWAMP . . . not build the wall, not America first in all things and certainly not lower taxes . . . DRAIN THE SWAMP is the number 1 issue of conservatism.

“towns with reputations for educated, moderate party members”

As you said, the condescension just drips.

“expects that state Republicans will try to change the topic every time Trump’s name comes up on the campaign trail.” If campaigners are smart, they will say “I believe in A, B, C and so does President Trump.” No need to run away from the ideas Trump represents.

“...combined with the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago...”

That completely swayed my vote this past Tuesday! I voted for the Trump-Endorsed Tim Michels for Governor, over the Pence-Endorsed Rebecca Kleefisch.

That raid on Mar-a-Lago is going to help us a LOT come this fall and 2024.

Never forget! :)

PTrump needs to have a ‘You shall not pass” meme, as he’s in the breech.

I wonder just how many times there have been attempts on his life. By the FBI even

I’ve been told that Blumenthal’s and Murphy’s relationships with certain groups of Muslims, mainly Iranians, isn’t all that private. Apparently it’s no secret.

Are US Senators allowed to do that?

If true, I wonder why the Republican’s in Connecticut aren’t using it?

I thought so too. However, I hope that they keep underestimating the stupid cretins who are Trump supporters (like me). We always do better when we are underestimated.

Because educated and moderates would never support Trump policies right.

I wonder how many states will not allow President Trump on the ballot.

Question is though, does it mean that even they are fed up, have awakened, and are starting to see reality?

I sure hope the answer is yes to my question. 🙂

This victory is amazing. It's CONNECTICUT.

And yes, of course the left will cheat. It's what they do. They started in Eden.

But the left is COUNTING on a phalanx of alleged conservatives to get discouraged, whine, and not stand up to be counted.

In the end, Bidet "won" by 42,918 votes spanning GA, WI, and AZ. If half of those votes went for Trump, it'd be different. Yea fraud, but the sheer amount of fraud required to overcome legit, bone-crushing levels of Deplorable votes IN PERSON (more on that later) would expose their operation. And I pray that Trump 2024 has a massive army of IT and fraud-defense guys that is thinking 3 steps ahead of the left.

For now, as I wrote elsewhere, remember that Ann Landers said "nobody can take advantage of you without your permission."

Here are a few, very simple steps you can take to secure your vote:

1. Log on to your State's Voter Registrstion site and make sure you're locked and loaded. If not, take action.

2. Print out that you're locked and loaded.

3. Keep checking every few weeks.

4. DO NOT MAIL IN YOUR BALLOT - you may as well vote for Stalin otherwise.

5. On Election Day, show up at your voting location, and vote in person.

Indeed, anyone saying "we can't overcome Dem fraud" is implicitly saying the left is smarter, quicker, and better than we are.

Not me, I'm not gonna take this...let's go.

Listening to RINO Themis Klarides's concession speech Tuesday night made me extra happy Lora Levy won.

Themis didn't ask her supporters to come along-side of Leora and help her defeat Blumenthal - it was merely four minutes of "I", "I", "I" - sounding like an Obama speech.

Graceless loser.
