CT’s Republican Party has taken on a new look: ‘The Trump effect was as visual in Connecticut almost as much as every other state’

The day before the election, GOPe representatives were saying Themis Klarides had no need to worry and that even though Trump had endorsed Levy, the endorsement was not really enough to make a difference. I suspect they watched the election results come in while in a state of shock.

The establishment really did not think there was any chance that Klarides could lose. They are used to telling the voters how to vote, and the GOP voters doing as told. It no longer works that way, but they have yet to realize it.

If we States pull together, and only the ones with conservative Governors might actually do so, we might not need President in Exile Trump at the helm. Our Government might go back to how it was originally designed!

You know, States Rights being FOREFRONT and all that? Before so many were corrupted by FREE MONEY from the Feds?

BWAA-HAA-HAA! I crack myself up!

Meh. A girl can dream, can’t she? ;)

Have you not learned by now that Republicans seldom attack democrats based on religion, race or national origin? Republicans are a bunch of sissy’s, no offense intended to sissy’s.

“The condescension just drips.”

One of the lefts favorite phrases is ‘educate yourself’. In other words if you don’t agree with me you’re an uneducated dumb ass. I’ve even seen Freepers use it.

I agree on the hole with what you’re saying, but In my mind, 98% are rotten

49% straight up sissies

49% in complete agreement with everything the Democrats want. The 50+1 split in the Senate, used for budget items, is perfect over for them. They don’t have to save Biden on anything budget related as they can blame it all on Harris. Everything else, they’ve been the ones to sane him at every turn.

The remaining 2%(if that) ….Paul, Gaetz, Boebert, Massie, Green, Biggs

“educated, moderate party members”

Right.

Trump voters are all knuckle dragging, gap toothed bitter clinger deplorables with room temperature IQs.

Not like all us Really Smart Poli Sci and Journalism majors with our sub-1000 SAT scores.

Here in the Northeast corner of CT the citizens overwhelming voted for Trump twice. It’s the rich liberals and city sub-creatures that bulldoze the Republican votes.

I think you might see some changes in the Northeast in the next few years. Connecticut is a reddish Purple state, but the hellholes (Hartford, New Illegal Haven, Bridgeport) are the cities that find Democratic ballots in the most unusual locations (car trunks, freezers, etc.). I need to check to see what my town (East Hartford), Cow Town (Ellington) and South Windsor voted for.

“I think you might see some changes in the Northeast in the next few years.”

I think you’re right. It will not be the ultra-liberal bastion it once was (and is).

True, you can see what Globalism did to the many mill towns in New England. The shoe, textile, paper, brass and gun factories. All torn down or use as housing.

If someone was smart, they could stand in front of an abandoned mill, and talk about the problem with GLOBALISM. It doesn't hurt Wall Street, but it does hurt MAIN STREET.

Leora Levy literally came out of nowhere to win the CT senate primary going away. Despite the Trump endorsement happening just a few days before the election.

Now I see those little red Leora Levy signs popping up all over CT.
