Again the DEM party took another opportunity to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
They should have nominated Mark Kelly. The GOP ran on "this bitch hates America". You can't run on that against a 4 star rear admiral who also went into space.

If I've learned anything since 2016 it's that you absolutely can convince ½ of Americans that a 4 star rear admiral who also went into space hates America.
Look how hard Fox has to struggle when they debate Pete Buttegeig or Sanders. Confident, well spoken, white male policy wonks with plans for the working class are Fox News worst nightmare.
Conservatives lose all principles and decency if Trump says it.
Criticizing a single or several military generals doesn't mean you are against conservative principles.
Despite what you may believe, military generals can be wrong, political, biased, etc.
Insinuating that they should be put to death, personal insults, etc.. all because they did things he didn't like. I would recommend searching for the rhetoric used using the two names I mentioned above. You probably don't care, but both have come out and said he's a threat to the constitution and a fascist.
Seems weird that conservatives would be okay with trashing top military brass in that manner.
He was a Captain [1]. And what on 'Earth'(!) is a "4 star rear admiral"?
It's clear with how people ranked issues on exit polls,
Absolutely nobody would have won for the Democrats. The economic sentiment was too powerfully negative
This is it. I think people are drastically overestimating the complexity of the average voter's decision-making. We vote based off "vibes" in America unfortunately. Which means good ol' fashioned sexism and racism is all you need.
Trump didn't get more people to vote for him than 2020. That's very telling and seems to be something people keep ignoring.
Take a look at the demographics of who didn't come out to vote.
I don't know how many more elections we need to accept the fact that a large chunk of this country straight up won't vote for someone that doesn't pass the "Hey, I'd have a beer with that dude" vibes check. It's depressing but the evidence is the evidence.
