1. I tell ya, if we "boat race" those bastards in the midterms, a lot of them might give up

for life. Bury them and let them thing it was rigged if they want to. Then it will be hard to get them to turn out in 2024.

3. A big fat K&R!

[lagomorph777]

4. Awesome! Keep it up, GQP! The more you convince your idiot followers that it's all rigged...

...the more you LOSE!

[Johnny2X2X]

5. LOL

Leftist policies caused unemployment? Leftist policies have reduced UE from the disaster Trump created.

[MissMillie]

6. Now there's a GOP trend I can get behind

When they stay home on election day.

[Dream Girl]

7. Plus Republican voters, it's gonna be harder to vote now, so you needn't both. Plus, it's rigged any

Way, cuz voter fraud. So just don’t trouble yourself!

[Skittles]

9. dare we be more hopeful

and wonder if some republicans are starting to question the integrity of their PARTY?

[Bettie]

10. Was Dem turnout low too?

Or just their side?

[Demovictory9]

11. 😜

[uponit7771]

12. Dem candidate won 1% higher than Biden with GQP candidate pushing false DTP issues

[11 Bravo]

17. Also, Dems drew about 43% of their 2020 Presidential year turnout.

Repugs dropped to about 35% of THEIR 2020 vote.

So tell me, Pubbies ... who paid a higher price for the continued promulgation of your "big lie" bullshit?

[uponit7771]

22. NICE !! That's not a bad number for a special election. Dems seem motivated

[peggysue2]

13. I was surprised by the low turnout

That's usually very bad for Dems, even though special elections are notoriously underrepresented.

In this case Stansbury crushed her opponent. It's laughable, of course, that any Republican rep would blame loss of faith in election integrity when the GOP is actually creating the problem by pushing the Big Lie.

More savvy Republicans have admitted they were outspent, the decision being that throwing more money into the race where Dems had a clear advantage was pointless.

Both are excuses after the fact but at least one makes a smidgen of sense.

[Warpy]

14. HAHAHAHAHA! They lost because Republicans SUCK

This is a military area with 2 national labs and a lot of retirees. They didn't take kindly at all to the crap the Republicans pulled on Jan.6.

The message has really gotten around in this district.

[wiggs]

15. It's always the Democrats' fault. nt

[mountain grammy]

16. Good.. hope they stay home forever.

[LaMouffette]

18. The problem is the Republican Party doesn't trust its voters enough to let them in on the secret

that their accusations of fraud are baseless and they're just using the Big Lie as an excuse to pass voter suppression laws.

It'll be interesting to see how they plan to encourage their voters and make it easier for them to vote, while discouraging Democratic voters and making it more difficult for us to vote.

[SoonerPride]

19. I hope this trend continues right on through 2024

tell their voters that the elections are rigged so why bother to vote and Dems come out in record numbers and wipe them out all over the country

I could live with that

[Shrike47]

20. Why should they vote for or trust Republicans, who lie in this message itself?

Leftest policies have led to massive unemployment? Really? Nothing to do with Trump’s pandemic?

[catbyte]

21. ...

[NJCher]

23. question his attributions

While this is music to my ears, I have to question his attribution as to why Democratic voters didn't show up (and thus also why Republicans didn't, either). Re the Democrats, it is just not a fact that massive unemployment is a factor. I realize the election was a few days ago, but this morning they announced unemployment at 5.8%. What it was in NM the last few weeks would be interesting to know.

I also question his attribution of "disenfranchised by the leftist policies out of Washington." Do people there really fear programs like the American jobs program? Is fear of socialism that prominent?

[oldsoftie]

24. Thats what happened in the GA Senate runoff;

Well over 100000 voters from mostly red areas of the state who voted in Nov didnt show for the runoff, because they kept being told "its rigged why bother?". They COULD have won both those seats if not for their own IGNORANCE!!

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. Apparently, Biden's policies have more of an effect on unemployment in 4 months,

and 3 months in the case of inflation (results tabulated every April) than did the previous guy's....I was looking for a more suitable word, but I guess they were "policies" by definition, if not in fact or design.

These bad numbers (inflation % is normal, but unemployment in NM is high) might be a holdover from the Bush administration, though. If Rs can make yardsticks of any length that's convenient and place the ends wherever they like, I feel I should be able to, as well.

[snort]

26. Democrats were disenfranchised by leftist policies.

Happens every time.
