Massie’s support had already slipped somewhat between 2022 and 2024. Like 7 or 8 points between the 2022 and 2024 primaries

What public facing positions /stances did he change and promote to alert his voters? Epstein files? What else?
did he ever accomplish a single thing while in office? Kind of curious why someone would think voting for him again would be any different this time?

You cannot comprehend and that is why you lose. Stop and think critically about the steps that are being made. I dare you.

Are you arguing he wasn’t in a personal battle with Trump?

That NPC talking point has been shown to be meritless a long time ago ITT.

Small government types know we are in the extreme minority

Nothing is better than more/bigger government

If Trump perceived it that way, it says a lot about Trump and not Massie.

It still doesn't directly address why so many of Massie's constituents pulled a major 180 in 1.5 years, unless they had some views on the Epstein files (which I don't think existed on any scale)

Trump 100% assumed it was personal. He made it personal.

Massie joined in the personal over the past couple of years. I think most non-autistic people would agree.

No. I get it. You’re addicted to big government. Just like an addict “just a bit more, I can quit at any time, maybe tomorrow is the day”.

Trump is literally outspending Biden already. and wants to add $500B for defense. He fought to have the debt ceiling permanently suspended. He’s chased anyone not voting for his spending out of the party. He’s also a proponent of government owning chunks of private industry. Clearly smaller government is right around the corner.

This only happened in your head. Not in this thread.

I have two workers. One talks a lot about efficiency and optimization. He does nothing.

He is replaced by a guy who doesn’t talk about efficiency and optimization at all. He also does nothing.

There is zero change.

This will be tough for a guy who talks for a living to grasp.

Its so silly. Why would Trump get $20+million thrown against someone that was so ineffective?
