The stupidity of starting a public fight with Kemp and Raffensberger when Loeffler and Perdue had it in the bag and worse, pushing Doug Collins into the mix, costing a Congressional seat AND shaving enough from her lead to cause a runoff. There was NO reason! She was moderate enough to appeal to suburban women and fiercely took on Warnock’s antisemitism. Collins just preached the gospel and was so far right that he couldn’t garner any support other than Evangelical fundamentalists.
Even worse were Lynn Wood and Sidney Powell hanging around Perdue’s campaign screaming into bullhorns, telling people NOT to vote! That’s how stupid Trump’s attack on Kemp and Raffensberger was. It made Trump look unhinged and equally untrustworthy, if not more.He just does not know when to stop , where to focus or how to choose and deploy surrogates. Sending Pence to garner the Latino vote? I saw him in Miami and wanted to cry. I’m a native . White though I am, Pence looks like an albino in a city of every shade of brown and every regional Spanish accent. People, no matter their political bent, particularly if on the fence, are tribal in majority populations. He should have chosen a Latino to lead the Hispanic campaign. He never seemed to get that. The Democrats totally get that concept because identity politics is all they have, but it works. The Republicans are so dense that they seem to prefer losing.
Mayra Flores ran her own campaign. The DNC didn’t even give her a nod. Didn’t even give her a spot on Vote Red. And she nailed it! Maybe that’s the way to win. Youngkin, Winsome Sears ,the VA AG, Byron Donalds, Brian Mast and prior to shoving John James into Michigan, a local businessman who was really, really well liked had it in the bag. James could not connect with the constituents.
