Is there anything a Republica can do to lose votes? [View all]

J.D. Vance has said that women need to stay in abusive, violent marriages and Herschel Walker is a certifiable fool who has fathered children with multiple women and can't complete a thought. Yet they are in a tied in their Senate races against intelligent, qualified Democrats.
Hell, even verified pedophile Roy Moore only lost by less than a point.

It makes one very cynical about a big percentage of American voters.
