Trump voters are Trump voters...not GOP voters. If GOP Congressional candidates want them to come out they need to give them a reason!!! If I were Saccone I would have mentioned Donald Trump or one of his signature agenda items in every single ad I ran. Bar none.
I agree. I've met more than one person who said they hadn't voted in years, but that they were going to, or had, vote for Trump. And now that they've voted for Trump, they've probably gone back to not voting.
EXACTLY!!! THE MESSAGING OF THIS RACE WAS TERRIBLE!
Just Red Meat for the reliable R voter, not a damn bit of message or reason or even attempt to engage and motivate the Trump I and D crossover voter...
This was complete ELECTORAL INCOMPETENCE by everyone in the GOPe sphere... Saccone’s campaign directly all the PAC’s etc....
The GOAL from day one of this race should have been reaching those I and Cross over Ds that voted for Trump and get them motivated to show up... and not 1, not 1 single solitary attempt was made to do this!!
Complete INCOMPETENCE from the top on this... The line workers busted their buts, I never saw so much hard concerted effort put into this district by the R’s, but unfortunately they were undercut and killed by bad and incorrect messaging and still almost managed to pull it out by their hard work.
They literally were lined up on an ice sheet by the GOP leadership and told run to the finish line....
MESSAGING WAS WRONG, INCOMPETENT AND INEXCUSABLE in this race, and if the messaging here was the plan for November, then the Dems will take the house, period.
GROSS AND COMPELTE INCOMPETENCE!!
They literally were running a Rove type campaign in the Trump world... STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!! Red meat for the base, but NOTHING for those who weren’t part of that traditional base!!!!
This race with proper messaging the D’s would have never been closer than 8 points, instead the R lost.... INSANITY!
TRUMP SHOWED YOU HOW TO WIN!!! YET YOU IGNORED IT ALL AND JUST KEPT DOING WHAT YOU DID BEFORE TRUMP!!! MORONIC!
