Not So Fast: MAGA Media Celebrates Primary Wins, But Extreme Candidates Are on Track to Get Smoked in General

The story of Trump’s influence on these Republican primary elections is a legitimate one. But it only tells half of the story — or more like 25% of the story, depending on the actual size of Trump’s base. The other and more telling part of this political narrative? The majority of extremist far-right and MAGA-friendly candidates look likely to get smoked by Democrats in the general election in November.

The Political Environment Might Be Improving For Democrats

This coming from a site that is notoriously leftwing. Another is I glanced at the article from 538, but saw polls but nothing about the polling metrics or questions.

The GOP probably doesn’t take the Senate this time. Idiot Republican primary voters have nominated weak candidates who will probably lose.

Just Setting the stage for more election shenanigans...they are always guilty of what / where they lay blame.

Trump endorsed candidates are extreme where the left side is not...it's all bs.

Because putting America first is an extreme radical concept.

You misspelled Trump backed weak candidates....

The truck as W.F. Buckley put it is to nominate the most right leaning candidate who can actually win in the general election.

Would you rather nominate an right wing idealist who can’t campaign for shit and loses, or a center right candidate who will win?

We’ve been here before... as long as fools keep supporting this clown he’s going to keep screwing things up.

Trump Loses the Senate

That's my belief. The problem is that Trump and his hardcore supporters are spending more time waging war on "traitors" within the party than they are on beating the Democrats. The Trump wing of the party also throws around "RINO" the way the Democrats throw around "racist". RINO used to mean a liberal Republican like Romney or McCain; now it means anyone who is not a yes-man for Trump.

They can nominate very conservative people in very conservative states and districts, but they need to stick with center-right in purple areas. That should have been abundantly clear after the GOP won the VA elections last year, but nope.

We have a sketchy Governor's race coming in AZ. A whacked out left wing kook, Katie Hobbs, won her current position fraudulently on last minute provisional votes which set her up to oversee the election where Trump was screwed on fraud.

Trump's candidate, Keri Lake, is portrayed in less than good light for openly campaigning on the election fraud. By any reasonable measure, Hobbs, who also lost a battle over unjustly firing a black woman (libs can hate blacks... it's ok for them to do so), should lose in a landslide against Lake.

But with the fraud machine already in place, it will be interesting to see if these lunatics rob the same train thrice!

The massively interesting thing is that NOT ONE political add for either party in the primaries involved anyone campaigning on anything other than center or right. Liberal bull shit is WILDLY unpopular, yet we're expected to believe that these lunatics are in contention to win???

It's so crooked, it's disgusting.
