The issue is if you are a Republican, you will never make it to the general election if you have to compete in the primaries against someone who is further to the right and endorsed by Trump/Musk.
You can’t get enough money to compete against Musk and the true MAGAs who vote in the primaries and forgive anything that Trump does.
- bluGill 2y agoThere are very few areas where a democrat can't win with just a small shift in voters. Get 5% of republicans mad enough to stay home (or maybe vote third party) and that changes the outcome - not to mention independents who change their vote, or democrats who might get mad enough to go vote even if they think they don't have a chance.
- JustExAWS 2y agoIt’s not about a Republican candidate winning against a Democrat. It’s about a Republican beating another well financed Republican in the primaries before the election even happens. Besides with gerrymandering, most Republican seats are safe Republican seats. Even without gerrymandering, there are entire states that are never going to vote for a Democrat. This is map of red vs blue counties. https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/format:webp/1*86sURhsiwekHqCuqjbFnkQ.png https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/format:webp/1*86sU...
