Walker was not a good candidate. His use of English language is lacking. Warnock is a slick as you'd think a life long "reverend" race baiter would be. Warnocks commercials were a LOT more sophisticated and targeted than Walkers - I knew he was going to win.

I held my nose and voted for Walker. The Republican PTB thought his football credentials would get him through. I did not.

Was Fetterman a "quality candidate"?


Nope, but he was a known figure in PA and rode the coattails of a blowout at the top of the ticket. Walker couldn't even ride the coattails of Kemp. The fact that Walker couldn't win 50% of the vote when the rest of the GOP did show HE was the problem. There was enough GOP voters in November for him to win out right.

It’s called “cheating”
And it’s a problem….
Georgias football God black male UGA Heisman winner couldn’t defeat some fake azz liar black male. When the Governor won by 6pts. It’s not REALLY what happened. But by all means continue to analyze fake data.

You’re not doing yourself any favors presenting simplistic assertions as fact.

Walker was such a bad candidate. A comatose person would have won against him

Bottom line

A dead person can run as a democrat and they will win. Democrats stick together.

Republicans do not.

This is why we have JBE as the Governor in Louisiana.

Kind of like in Pennsylvania?

This was no more about Walker than PA was about Fetterman. It's about electoral systems and funding. PERIOD!

If people don't get that through their thick skulls, we'll see a rinse-and-repeat in 2024.

McConnell's already the re-elected Senate minority leader. Ronna McDaniels is set to resume her sleepwalk as RNC Chair. McCarthy is on the cusp of assuming House leadership. They are each the best GOP leaders their democrat donors can buy. When they're done they'll follow their money to join ex-RNC Chairman Michael Steele and McCain's Campaign Chairman Steve Schmidt at the Lincoln Project.

Meanwhile, they got you convinced Oz lost PA because he was the bad candidate? The communist preacher and Fetterman are good candidates. That's why they won. GA was just about the two people running. You're swallowing that? Really?

What's the point of "winning" with a bunch of Romney, Ryan, Murkowski Republicans?

Just proves one thing to me. Kemp was protected by the fraud machine. Simple.



And you're calling the other guy retarded?



You have to be pretty fricking stupid to believe that some "fraud machine" would elect Kemp over Stacey fricking Abrams, while at the same time electing Warnock.

I mean, seriously...is this just your message board persona? Because it would be concerning if there are people out there who are really this stupid in real life.

Kemp went soft on election tampering and got both barrels from Trump.


Remind us again how Trump's candidate in the primary did against Kemp.

Both barrels from Trump? Did he have marshmallows for ammo?

"Good candidates" have to do a helluva lot more than appeal to their base. They have to win the independents.

Just because a candidate can fervently appeal to the core of their base doesn't mean they are worth a shite as a candidate, because they already have those votes.

And the next candidate to take on the daunting question of “what did hobbs do to win the independents?” is…

I did the first time. But didn't bother voting in the run off. Walker was just awful and kept getting worse. I should have just not voted for the senate at all the first time.

The Rs ran a black candidate that couldn't even pull 5% of the black vote. That is the dumbest strategy ever.

So, an “Independent “ would essentially vote for Leftist, by default, in not voting for those that oppose Leftist Policies? That is NOT an Independent. That is something much worse.

People keep ignoring this. Lake, Masters,Walker, Oz, etc. all beat somebody else to get there.

I would have voted for each one of them in their races over their opposition, but they were all bad candidates.
