One would think it would be helpful for the D to be able to concentrate more on the run. Silsbee was a duel threat offense. We'll see how this one plays out.

she's the literal definition of a RINO. Did things exactly the way trump does, and can't believe it that she lost the election in a state that hasn't elected a democrat in 5 cycles. I did i say reasonable? I meant real. Or maybe just one who doesn't come off as a egocentric nutjob. But hey, she's just following Trump's blueprint, right?

Another trump disciple loses an election that a reasonable Republican candidate would’ve easily won 🙄 [Hidden Content]

They've played pretty similar schedules. Both lost badly to the only truly great team on their schedule, both have a win or two against good competition, a close game or two that shouldn't have been close, and a bunch of blowouts against cupcakes. It's hard to judge anything until they face each other.

their numbers are skewed, but both of those teams are better than PNG. One of them is a LOT better than PNG. Those two teams are also better than PAM, who beat the brakes off the indians early in the year. I won't be shocked if the indians win, but while your assessment of LBJ's district schedule is correct, your assessment of the games they played pre district is not.

beat me to it. Imagine creating an event for white men called "Tired of lesbian black women?"

LBJ in a weak district, but have outscored their last 6 opponents (including a 7-3 team in the playoffs) 455-0. averaged 76 points a game in that span. they clearly have a few offensive weapons. They lost to a couple of teams early in the year, but both teams are better than PNG, so... I'll take LBJ

who ya got?

They lost tonight 37-33 to 8-2 Dallas Carter

Didn’t see this one coming

Got you

Man, the way the Longview fans got on here talking I figured they’d be up at least 30 by now

Did not, but that's not a game the "best team in the area" should be losing by 20. West Brook isn't a bad team, but they're not that good. They're coming off a season where they had a nice record, but racked up 10 of their 25 wins against bad teams from 5A, 4A, and even 3A. HJ was 20 points better than them last year, and I guarantee you they're not 20 points worse than them this year.

Because given two terrible candidates, I'll always take the one who's pushing conservative legislation.

I think Walker is the better candidate, I just don’t think he’s a good candidate.

I don’t have to convince myself. The red wave turning into the red ripple convinced me.

How bad would a republican candidate have to be before you would vote for a democrat (no need to answer this)? The point being that the quality of the candidate only goes so far, and is always going to be outweighed by policy. It truly doesn't matter that bad democratic options are worse than the bad republican options in areas that are moderate or left-leaning, and vice versa in conservative areas. here's the thing that republicans in ultra-red states always seem to ignore: in many states there is a very even split of republicans and democrats. in some states democrats have an advantage, but it's not insurmountable. in order to win those states, you have to actually provide a good option for moderates and apathetic democrats to vote for. The candidate that you'd want representing you in Texas is a terrible choice to run in these races. A terrible choice that is also associated with trump is even worse. A quality candidate could've flipped Pennsylvania, but a Trump-backed TV doctor wasn't going to do it, even against someone like Fetterman. That's just the political makeup of Pennsylvania at the current time. I think you're an intelligent person, and I respect your opinions. That said, your continued insistence that the fault lies with the "low information voters" rather than with the republican party for failing to do what it takes to secure their votes is incorrect IMO. Combine that with the inexplicable attack on abortion (not arguing right and wrong, just insanely stupid timing) just a few months before midterms, and the Republicans are lucky to have secured the meager gains they did.

You can start with eliminating anyone who's running on a "the election was stolen" mantra. Of course, that's most of the candidates Trump has endorsed. Do I really need to discuss why Herschel Walker and Mehmet Oz were poor choices? A decent candidate in Pennsylvania would've been a cakewalk over the human potato, and the same goes in Georgia. The fact that Walker made it to a runoff with all of the information that has come out about him shows just how easily a real candidate could've won that race against Warnock. This pattern holds true in several other crucial races that the republicans lost. Kari Lake is another terrible candidate. From Republican to Independent to Democrat, and then back to Republican, going with whatever ship can take her the farthest. Being "pretty hot for a politician" and willing to tout Trump's wildest claims clearly wasn't enough to make her a good candidate. I guess we'll see how that race pans out, but it's not looking great.
