Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Where are you getting your information? According to BallotPedia Trump backed 254 candidates in the general election. 76% of them won (that was from earlier today so it may have changed a bit). I've heard this a couple of times but no one can give me a reliable source. So far it's been some bullshit from Facebook or Twitter or some shit...Originally Posted by def90

Trump should shut da fuk up. Pack his bags and go home. His time came & went, lets get someone else on line for 24.
He's a boat anchor, that draws crowds, but not an overwhelming amount of votes. IF he did, there would have been a red wave. Instead we got, what i pretty much expected.

Not trying to negate your point, BG, but to me it seems like the candidates he backed in the "big" and "important" races underperformed. It will be interesting to see how many candidates he backed in contentious races that performed well once all the final tallies come out. Maybe it's just the fact that several of those important races got so much media time that they are the ones that stand out in memory. Hopefully we can still prevail in GA senate race, but here in CO we are basically doomed as I see it.
Or maybe they (D's) are just getting better at doing what they do and how to do it, and are starting to understand that a win (even with a slim margin) is still a win, and that a tight race that that has a bit of back and forth throughout the tallying is a lot easier for people to accept than an obviously skewed and/or implausible blowout.
In the end, even if it is all mostly legit, we are still being played in a game we are steadily losing the chances of winning. JMHO

I don't know. I have read reports that Trump is upset that some candidates he endorsed based on recommendations from others, even Melania, lost their elections. Oz was specifically mentioned.
But I'd argue they're all pretty important when you're trying to flip the house/senate. I'm still curious to see if Boebert can pull off a win. I see it's 50/50 right now with Frisch leading by about 64 votes. That's a close election.

Yeah, they are all important. That's kind of what led to my statement about media coverage. I didn't really seek out or follow a lot of the lower profile races and was inundated by the media saturation of the few deemed high profile by our benevolent keepers.
I didn't really think Oz was the best R choice, but I'm almost flabbergasted that he lost.
Ok, he backed 254 candidates so pretty much everyone.. The ones he personally stumped for in person did not produce. Just look at Pa, Oz was Trumps pick and he couldn’t beat a vegetable even after that debate.
Sure, and just like while he was president every bad decision he made was due to him relying on a bad aide or cabinet member, it’s never because Trump himself fucked up.
It's funny 'cause it's true.
Pennsylvania re-elected a literal DEAD guy (D) with 85% of the votes. The other candidate was a 3rd party progressive liberal so it wasn't like dead guy or right-winger. It was liberal dead guy Dem or liberal 3rd party. And 85% chose to vote dead guy Dem instead of liberal green party with the exact same politics.
