We conservatives are too busy looking for the perfect candidate in all categories to be bothered to vote Senate control away from the democrats. I gots my principles, dontchaknow?

That's not why we lose elections.

We lose elections because we need independents and swing voters to get on board and when we run lousy candidates, they stay away.

Swing voters and independents broke massively for the Democrats this year, particularly in those statewide races where Trump hand-picked the candidate.

Some exceptions are in Florida, where they came out for DeSantis and the case can be made that they came out for the GOP in New York, just not in the numbers that Zeldin needed to win.

In 2021, they came out for Glenn Youngkin in Virginia.

Candidate quality matters. We need candidates who can appeal to the base and the swing voters.

So why did independents break for democrats in races where a human vegetable with horrible ideas was the dem candidate?

That makes no sense. I could understand if they just didn’t vote or went third party.

But in no way can anyone convince me that fetterman was better than oz at anything... including just being alive.

Why is Warnock better than walker? Other than being a race pimp and fake Christian who uses his “church” to enrich himself, what value does he bring? What kind of candidate would the GOP have to run to get independents to break from a criminal fake Christian who evicts tenants over $28 of late rent?
