71 Percent of Trump-Endorsed Candidates Lost Their Elections

35. LOL! Sorry... No, I do not believe that's an entirely accurate statement....

...endorsed by every one of us here at DU. Including you.

LOL! Sorry... No, I do not believe that's an entirely accurate statement. In my opinion it's a bit misleading to make such a claim.

The significant distinction being made here is with your use of the words "general election". At that point, they were already the party's nominee and it's assumed that loyal Democrats will (by default) "support" and/or vote for the party's nominee by virtue of their party association.

I'd also take issue the word choice and the assertion that GeorgeII actually "endorsed" either of them. Supporting them by default as the party's nominee (and voting for them where applicable) is hardly what I'd consider to be an actual "endorsement".

It's unclear to me what good purpose it serves to go down this path. Is it an attempt to refute the figures that George II posted? Or is it just to distract?

In any case. none of this changes the facts on the ground and the dismal showing that "Our Revolution" and "Justice Democrats" had with regard to their preferred candidates.
