I guess it's the exception that proves the rule. In Colorado we had a serious qualified state senator running for governor in the primary. Also running running was a MAGA election denier (as in all elections are corrupt, even the ones Republicans win, so extra MAGA) and an actual "howl at the moon" candidate who has no experience with elected office. Trump didn't endorse but outrage/wacko beat qualified/smart 60/40. And "howl at the moon" is on the ballot in November.
I wonder how this breaks down in Democrat leaning states/districts vs Republican ones? Are the Trump endorsements still effective if the candidate is likely to lose the actual election? Or is it the other way around and the endorsements are more effective if the candidates are likely to prevail?
This is what I so appreciate about WUTP. You do such a good job of breaking down the "shouting" into "This is what is under these numbers." This one was particularly interesting to me. Thanks Gabe.
While the politicians shuffle around on the stage, Trumps felony convictions count is higher than his approval ratings. Republican voters are a lot less motivated to vote at all as their support for Trump slumps. Democratic voters are far more motivated. The swing in the Independent vote will probably decide it.
