    These races would’ve been lost if the candidates weren’t all the worst people they could’ve possibly put up at the worst possible time. You can always buy elections. Musk just got outbid.

      Every trump endorsed candidate has always lost, trump certainly has the ability to destroy the gop from within that no other politician could. if he had fully endorsed kari, or mtg i think it wouldve resulted more damaged than even now.

        About 2/3 of the candidates he’s endorsed won. One reason for that is that he often endorses candidates only at the last minute, when polling shows they’re leading.

        In marginal cases, his endorsement is either ineffectual or has negative impact.
