That actually helps Democrats because they can just tie their opponent to Trump.

Yes it sucks to lose Masse given he was willing to challenge Trump, but it makes the seat more vulnerable to a degree, and makes it easier to paint the Republican party with Trump's image.

Don’t fall for this nonsense that the media will push that Trump is flexing his strength. He’s popular AMONG THE GOP. Anyone outside of MAGA hed increasingly unpopular and hugely under water.

Get the napalm ready.

You have 6 months remaining of your term in the House. Make it hurt. Make it hurt Trump. And Johnson. And the rest of the sycophants who make up your Party.

I'd be willing to bet the Democrat will win that seat in November, especially with a looney bin MAGAt running.

Kentucky is deep red. Look at the number of voters in the Dem and Rep primary races. I don't think Massie voters will jump over to the Dem candidate.

I hope you are correct and I am totally wrong!

It will take a miracle

To think otherwise is foolish.
You are right to face reality.

Trump just lost another Republican vote for any legislation he puts up.

How 'bout that Resolution vote, Donnie?

And your ballroom?

And yeah, EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN!

I wouldn’t be celebrating too much if I were a republican. Yeah…he lost but he was up against an unprecedented spending amount for the vote count. Republicans can not spend that much per vote at any scale beyond small states.

They may dance their happy dance now but Massie has a pulpit for 7 long months. Ky’s sore loser law keeps him off the ballot in November but, knowing him, if Johnson thought he was a pain in the ass before, he ain’t see nothing yet. There won’t be any “go quietly into that long good night” chit for him.

are split nearly 50/50. Independents will decide the ultimate outcome of the seats in play.

for Trump to hate him.

In case MAGAts and the media need help figuring out why: because Trump is a pedo. He's always been a pedo. He always will be a pedo. That is why he took Massie exposing pedos as a personal attack.

HOW do they not see this shit?

sexual predators or any of that other sht they CLAIM to care about. Unless it's a Democrat of course.

Nor do they care about the economy, Trump and family's enrichment at THEIR expense, or anything else.

Trump can fk them six ways till Sunday, shoot their MOMS on 5th Avenue, and still get their vote. They'd guzzle Jim Jordan punch, and ask for more.

Because like I keep saying,
THEY'RE A CULT.

Do NOT count on them to flip come November, or 2028.

He defied the cult leader.

The cult will make you pay.

Trump has high ratings with Republicans. However, His support from Indies is tanking and he never had much of any support from Democrats.

The ones that remain are the true believers.

Just not with the people who voted in republican primaries.

A fact that may provide large dividends in the general election

https://www.timesofisrael.com/a-gop-primary-has-become-a-costly-battle-over-israel-will-it-matter-in-the-long-run/

".... The primary will demonstrate just how much of a hold Trump still has on his party. But it’s also seen as a test of whether a staunch critic of Israel can survive in today’s GOP.

Massie has consistently voted against US aid to Israel — including its missile defense system, Iron Dome. In the closing days of the campaign, he announced a bill to register the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He’s also been accused of antisemitism for reasons that have nothing to do with Israel. AIPAC, the Republican Jewish Coalition and Christians United for Israel have all lined up behind Gallrein and spent heavily on him.

We’ve been here before — just on the other side of the aisle. The Kentucky primary is the most expensive ever, with more than $32 million in total ad spending, according to Politico. The second- and third-most expensive primaries ever also centered around Israel, when AIPAC-backed candidates ousted two anti-Israel Democratic members of the far-left Squad in 2024..."

It’s still Trump’s party. Lindsey Graham was right about that. Cassidy lost in Louisiana and Cornyn likely will as well in Texas.

This is his base, which is a cult. That’s about 30% of the population and still likely 60-70% of the Republican Party as a whole. The party is irredeemable. It literally had no platform in the last election aside from “whatever Trump says”.

That Massie even received around 45% after going against Trump on anything, is shockingly high in such a red district.

ALL REPUBLICANS ARE BAD!

I don’t give a shit if it your spouse, your offspring, your parents, your best friend.

ALL REPUBLICANS ARE BAD!

So if some ignorant racists in KY want to make a statement to support a Pedophile we need to understand who they are. BAD!

Now if there are enough ignorant racists in these States who vote Repub in the General, which is likely, then we need to decide if we are going to work with them or crush them.

I for one, as a Californian who is done supporting these fucking racist pieces of shit and more than ready to crush them.

The pro-Israel lobby spent $34 million to beat Massie because he voted against aid to Israel and opposed the war on Iran. It was the most expensive House race in US history.

“I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent to concede and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv.”

their God, their jebus to the very end.
