Six Republican candidates lost in the general election on Tuesday after Democrats spent an estimated $40,250,000 boosting them in the GOP primaries.
The Democrats’ primary strategy, which was mocked by many Republicans at the time, turned out to be a successful defense against the Republican Party on Election Day. The strategy took advantage of Republican disunity upon which type of GOP candidate should be supported by the Republican Party in the primary up to the general election. Former President Trump’s waning appeal to moderate voters in battleground races appeared to also be a factor.
Below are race specifics:

who's responsible for this jack-_ _ _ blunder?: mcconnell, mccarthy, mcdaniel??? yup, all three - no excuses for losing in the unabashedly timid way they did, was this all pre-planned to weed out the MAGA candidates?

Fraud and f**tard Republican leadership are a winning combo for Democrat/Marxists.

The Dems got busy and enabled Republican primaries to produce junk candiidates in the primaries whom they (the Dems) knew would flunk in the midterms.
Had nothing to do with Trump. How could McConnell have prevented at the primary level?

Democrats are street fighters, no rules! Republicans are debaters, with a bow tie!

Bolduc supported Trump until he got the nomination, then turned on a dime. Since he lost, they say it was because he supported Trump; if he had won, they would have said it's because he snubbed him later. Same as Oz.

That was all show. The real money went to rigging the election devices.

Pennsylvania was a unique situation, in that Lou Barletta was as conservative as Mastrianno.
Thus, had Barletta won the republican nomination, he would have lost as badly as Mastrianno did.
Shapiro was a strong candidate who ran a good campaign.

Maybe it's time for us to fund the most radical D'Rats in the primaries.

That's the money that the little crook Bankman-fried 'donated' to the dems. Money was sent to the Ukraine and re-sent to the US...nice little scheme going on there ....!

Benedict McConnell and his fellow RINOcrats is a Cancer on the Party and an enemy of the BASE of Republicans.
Time to oust the RINOs from the party or create a new Party made up of the BASE.
This has been coming for a long time, and now his hubris is close to taking down the Republic with his little mafia-types AGAINST the BASE.

These types of fraud will continue until we return to the days of the Party choosing its candidates, Yes, that smoke-filled back-room where those with long-standing party interests protected the party from such misbehavior. The risks would be worth it.

No, the dems spent $40M to pay for vote fraud. That’s a lot of palms that need to be greased.

The answer to your question...poster #2...yes...the Washington establishment convinced the rinos to sabotage the election because of President Trump's appeal to republicans...it was always about power and control of MAGA...they lost control of the gop when President Trump took the White House...and by God...they will not see him in there again...BUT...WE the People might have a different plan...

I''d be more indignant if it were not for the millions of dollars that were poured into these primaries by the Republican House and Senate campaign committees as well as Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell. Republicans should be able to choose their candidates in primaries without interference from Washington and contributors should be able to have some confidence that their dollars are going to defeat Democrats in general elections and not other Republicans in primaries. Few of them did as poorly as Mitch McConnell funded Never Trumper Joe O'Dea in Colorado who lost by almost 20%.

McConnell aided the Democrats by not sending money to Trump supported nominees.

#13 - The "parties" are the same people who rig elections by at least hobbling some among the insiders. They control the $$$, and I don't mean theirs. Contributors and PACs follow cues. Politics is not a fair game. No one plays fair. No one.
