[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] His establishment pick lost and the Trump QAnon crazy candidate won.[/quote]

The establishment pick lost because of shadow campaigns from Democrats that poured MILLIONS of dollars into promoting him. Also, the only people that talk about Trump and AQnon this much are democrats. I’m a republican and never hear chatter about either of these things.

Outside of the DMV I think he will have a chance, but needs to start getting his name out there. People want moderate candidates that aren’t a gazillion years old. [/quote]

I've heard this before, and the assumption of direct causation between the "shadow" campaigns and Cox getting the nomination strikes me as fanciful at best.  If democratic campaigns were actually this powerful, the country would look a lot different right now.

Also, you live in a state of denial.  The MAGA crazies *are* the base of the party.  As an example, look at Arizona.  You might not like it, but Trump is the most influential corce in the GOP [/quote]

You’ve heard it before because they have been numerous articles in the WaPo talking about it. It’s real, it changed the course of several important elections and is despicable. 
You can’t claim “Russian influence” on campaign outcomes while doing THE EXACT SAME THING domestically to primary elections. [/quote]

First, the assertion that "it changed the course of several important elections" is completely speculative.

More importantly, if you are equating the fairly common phenomenon of boosting an undesirable candidate in a primary to make the general election more favorable to a (hostile) foreign power interfering in a domestic election . . . well, you are the problem.  And a decent example of today's Republican party.  [/quote]
