GOP turnout beat Dem turnout in Clark County by 10 points, 9 points statewide, and they won the gubernatorial election but got smashed downballot because their candidates suck.

Their candidates suck! âŚtrue, butâŚ
But lots of GOP voters really love these shitty candidates. Thatâs why anythingâs even close.
jfc, just look at Warnock/Walker.
Iâm terrified for the day the GOP doesnât run complete nutjobs.

Walker underperformed Kemp by 200k votes that means roughly 1 out of 10 Rs who showed up to vote for kemp didnât vote for Walker. If Rs had run any normal sane candidate they would have crushed.
Thankfully the next time they get a do over on the seat itâll be 2028. I like our odds of keeping it.

Their candidates are getting worse not better, so I donât think this will just magically happen without a huge shift in the party. Pretty much every new Senate candidate was terrible and it wasnât just random luck.
Itâs this. What wins a GOP primary and what wins a semi competitive general election donât have much overlap anymore.
Iâm not sure we can say this yet. There may be a shift after the beating a lot of the terrible candidates took in winnable races.
Iâll agree if this happens again in 2024. Weâll see who is the R candidate in places like AZ, PA, MI, VA and a fuckton of other states because JFC that map is horrible.
Leadership can understand this, but the people are told all day that liberal elites are drinking their babies blood or whatever. The downside of a media ecosystem devoted to whipping your base into perpetual frenzy: the ones who nod to their insanity win.
I mean look at Kemp himself. People often overlook how much of a batshit MAGA he was perceived to be in 2018. One reading of his 2022 election is that he pivoted successfully away from that persona.
right, GOP got high on their own supply. They got all the whackjobs winning gerrymandered house seats and thought âyeah letâs do that in senate races tooâ
itâs not exactly riveting, but other masochists can livestream Day 2 of the Kari Lake lawsuit here:
I really like the how the writers worked in G. Gordon Liddyâs son, and then put him on our side. Brilliant.
