You’re likely correct, but that doesn’t explain the primaries. While it’s likely voter apathy in the primaries, one would hope that Republicans would clean up the Cruz and Paxton crap in the primaries, but they never do.
For that matter, I’m to blame also. I should get off my ass and always vote in the Republican primary, cause that is the real Election Day in Texas.
Suck it mattress maga
and yet, Biden is too old?
This is counter to every in-depth review of voter tendencies though. It’s been shown time and time again that people don’t vote for the candidate that best represents their position, rather they adopt the position of the candidate they voted for. I saw an interview with some yahoo just today who said he’s not a 2020 election denier, but if Trump says the election was stolen, then he believes it was stolen. I’m not sure how he reconciles those two sentences in his pea brain, but he’s the perfect example of today’s voter.
Democrats think the politician they vote for is their employee.
Republicans think the politician they vote for is their boss.
Holy shit
It’s exactly like those in the last decade saying “I’m not a Birther!” and follow it up with “Obama is from Kenya”.
The problem isn’t Conservatism, it’s Authoritarianism. The first requires facts and logic, the latter requires neither.
This Nevada race is closer and better than it looks, if you’re a dem. If she pulls it out the GA runoff will be moot so far as majority is concerned. Definite reason for optimism there, I think.
Don’t know what effect was had but this happened in some primaries…Democrats took a big risk by pouring millions into ads elevating election-denying candidates in GOP primaries this year. It looks like it paid off.
Don’t be that contrarian asshole.
This would be wonderful. I haven’t followed much today, but is it cause the outstanding vote is mainly in the cities?
An estimated 165k votes from Clark County, yes.
ETA: I should add that that scenario assumes Kelly holds on to win AZ.
That’s not just Texas, sadly
Boebert has closed the gap significantly, and now trails by less than 75 votes. Most say she’ll now likely win, by as few as a few dozen votes.
I saw her opponent on TV. He said most of the remaining votes were in Pueblo, where he did relatively well. Thought it was going to be close, but was somewhat confident.
Meanwhile, Nevada seems like a stretch for the Dem Senate candidate, based on the subtext of what Kornacki described.
Frisch has re-taken the lead by 60 votes with 99% reported.
