(20,817 posts)because to beleive that would mean he isn't the greatest candidate ever. I think it's safe to say, no one in his White House is elplaining the results to him. He spent last night tweeting insults to all the dems. He's nuts.
The rest of the GOP is resting on the idea, they always come home to roost. There's little evidence that moderate and the rare liberal GOPer is going to vote for a moderate Dem. Any dem candidate relying on appealing to them to win the general is wasting time (airing my frustration at the candidats last night and the pundits that waste air time to floating this balloon that there's little evidence for). The under count and getting them to the polls is their huge hope. These 9 percent are a chimera.
At least nationally. Regionally, it's a bad sign for taking back the house. I don't think they can do it with those numbers against them. Pelosi shoud be back in 2021.

Please don't any of you do this too. It's a very dirty trick.
