I know you want to be fair. How many Obama, Biden, Hillary backed candidates lost, or are they insignificant for your assessment?

it's a different situation completely. across the country republicans ran out a string of less-qualified, more extremist candidates that were backed by trump solely because they fed into his election denial.  The majority of the candidates he endorsed that were involved in tight races lost, whereas many of those races would've gone to the right had a traditional republican candidate been on the ballot.  if you choose not to understand that, then that's fine.  but ignoring the obvious is what cost us the red wave in the first place.

None.  Because you don't even realize what happened.

Traditionally the Party (and more importantly the "figurehead" of the party" don't endorse any candidates during the primary process... that's where the parties are deciding who their candidate will be in the general election against the "other" party.  

Trump made it a point to endorse politicians in the PRIMARY process, and all you had to do was deny the election results and pledge your honor to his Trumpness and in return he'd get his red-hatted fools to vote for you. It worked out all over the place.  Trump's hand-picked candidates secured the nomination of the Republican Party, but then performed poorly in the general election.

Republicans need to dump Trump.  Him celebrating Republican losses last night of those that didn’t go along with him is not a good look.  

Agree with this, he just can’t help himself.  I still can’t excuse voters that choose what’s detrimental to the country because they get butt-hurt but come on.

Are you talking about the ones that vote D or the ones that vote Trump?  Because there's really not a difference.  A vote cast for an opponent that can't win is a wasted vote. 

I think that I'm just saying what a lot of people think... and it sounds like a lot of people who have been Trump since day one might be coming around on the idea.  The buffoonery just got old. 

He's literally that guy from high school that was kinda funny and always had a nickname for people that stuck.... and then we all got extra homework because of him.

Gee, I thought there was an answer in there somewhere. I haven’t seen where election denial was a requirement for Trump backing. The whole thing is, people will research which candidates lose that were Trump backed and totally ignore who lost with elite democrat backing. I have no trouble seeing where you stand. Trump is everyone’s scapegoat. Running both parties the wrong way is what I like about him anyway. He can’t be bought and that means everything to me. Everyone else will sell this country to the highest bidder and spit in your face while doing it

Trump supporters love him because he's the jerk that they don't have the balls to be in real life.....then they cry that he's a "scapegoat" when the consequences of his actions come around to bite him in the butt.  And for what it's worth, Trump is the biggest face-spitter that our country has ever seen.  

It's so comical that you believe that he "can't be bought" when literally everything he has is for sale for the right price.  Want some nuclear codes?  Pay me.  Need a place to house my secret service agents?  Pay me.  

You're right... he's not for sale.  He's all about Trump, and does it by tricking people into believing that he's America First, Pro-Life, Christian, etc.... And his fanboys just keep lapping it up.

Bottom line, there was no tsunami and most of the blame is at Trump's feet.

The red side need's to dump Trump and hitch their wagon to a better candidate.

Too many voters are voting against and not for. That's the problem.

Wrong, the results lie at the voter’s feet.

A guy like O’Rourke got 44% of the vote in a state like Texas.  Is that Trump’s fault?

TDS does literally blind folks to what’s happening.

Man, at least we aren’t lapping up the baby killers and genital whackers. How did Trump spit in your face? He didn’t. It just makes you feel good to run your mouth, and that’s all you are. Is that balls enough for you? You wouldn’t make a pimple on Trump’s  arse.

you see what you want to see, that much is clear.  It's not who backed who, but why.  The Donald backed poor candidates who were willing to toe the orange line and claim election fraud.  Those weak candidates won nominations based on his support, but lost elections the right should've and would've won had they put forward decent candidates.  Instead of acknowledging this, it's just more of the same "low information voter" nonsense.  It would take some low information voters to elect some of the nutballs that Trump backed.

The red tsunami ran into the orange road block.  If trump had put his time and influence into backing the best candidates instead of the best election deniers, the red wave would’ve come to fruition.  Democrats won almost every major election where trump backed someone.  In most cases, his influence was enough to get his pick on the ballot, but also a kiss of death in the actual election.  For all of their dumb choices and terrible policies, the dems correctly saw this coming, and their gamble to help endorse election deniers has paid off by greatly reducing the amount of seats the republicans were able to flip.

Isn’t it sad that we’re in a time where being deceptive about your policies and dirty tricks are considered great political tactics.

“Don Bolduc was a very nice guy, but he lost tonight when he disavowed, after his big primary win, his longstanding stance on Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Primary,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, 

This is the hidden content, please
. “Had he stayed strong and true, he would have won easily. Lessons Learned!!!”

Just shows what it took to get Trump's support, and also how delusional he is to think that voicing that stance is all it takes to win, even though nearly every candidate he endorsed that was in a competitive race lost.

    • I don’t know about any rivalry there because I don’t live there but although LP and DP play in different classifications they still have a lot in common.  I mean, both beat Barber’s Hill this year!
    • I’m super excited for this game.  PNG has the team and game plan that will slow TH down.  No way we can stop them the entire game, but I feel if we slow them down we can win similar to what we did last year to Lake Creek and SOC.  
    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
