The theme of my discussions with you has not been around hatred, but discipline. I have been very consistent around that.
You confirm my point - when you say, "what is the point", turnout is depressed. Both lost. Now, were they perfect candidates? No, and especially Loeffler. She needed to figure out was she Romney or Trump. Like Tennis, it is hard to play in the middle of the court. But Republicans only needed to hold one seat - only one, so that, for example, if republicans want to hold Fauci accountable, the Senate can call for hearings. Now, that cannot happen until 2022.
You are correct. Trump did campaign for them, twice. With that said, I believe 70 out of 80 of the minutes were around election grievances not, "install, these senators, get out the vote and let's get after the voting reform that we need". He also sowed seeds of doubt on election integrity - again, why vote? The loss becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

To repeat Younkin did it the right way. He focused on the issues, on women, on suburbanites and galvanized people to vote, not a continuing retrospective on the 2020 election.
And he won.
To repeat, he won.
