[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Republicans continuing their two-year trend by underperforming again. But polls, polls, polls.

"It should have been a drama-free race.

Instead, the special election for Ohio’s deep-red 6th Congressional District turned out to be something of a nail-biter, with the Democratic candidate far exceeding expectations.

Johnson had represented the 6th district since 2011, winning reelection in 2022 by 35 points. Trump would have carried the district based on its current makeup by 29 points.

But GOP state Sen. Michael Rulli only defeated the Democratic nominee, Michael Kripchak, by about 9 points, based on the latest vote count with more than 95 percent reporting. That’s a roughly 20 percent overperformance for the Democratic candidate from what was expected for this district."

As hard as the billionaires and the media outlets they own are pushing and massaging us all toward Trump, I don’t think a lot of people are going to head that way. Trump and the GOP are [i]vile[/i].

The GOP losing this much ground in a safe district ought to terrify the cluck out of them, and it probably does, which is why we’re seeing the media freaking out and so obviously working on behalf of the GOP. [/quote]

Historically the Democrats were the party that underperformed midterms and special elections as the high engagement voters tended to be Republicans, which is why Republicans always overperformed compared to the Democrats in midterms and off year elections. However, the last few elections have seen a neat reversal. Democrats are now the high engagement voters who turn out in midterms and off year/special elections whereas a higher percentage of the Republican leaning base are low engagement voters, who only turn out for presidential elections - if they feel like it.

Which is why no one, Democrats or Republicans, are "freaking out" or encouraged by what you think you're seeing in the Ohio primary. Trump is on the ballot and will be turning out all the low engagement voters specifically for him on election day and they will likely vote down the ballot R. [/quote]
