I don’t know. As one example in Georgia all the current and top tier Republicans have said they are not running. So relative unknowns have to win the drawn out Primary fight, and then still defeat better known Democrats for Governor, Lt. Governor, Secretary of State.
That is going to suck up a lot of the donations available and swamp the ad space.
Georgia has a Senator and of course the House. The Senate Seat has a Democrat. Expect a knock down drag out fight there. The Democrats need to hold that seat. And the Republicans need to take it. So more ad time and donations gone.
Now we get to the underfunded races for the house. Where Trumpsters like yourself will have one question. Do the candidates believe the election was stolen? If no, give up now.
So the Republicans will be running nutters who can appeal to 60% of the Republicans and zero percent of the Moderates. This puts the Republicans at a severe disadvantage. First the lack of funds to run a campaign, and second the need to genuflect before the alter of Trump.
It is possible. But I don’t think it is going to be a Yule landslide victory for Republicans. I fear they will lose seats. I know. “Real Patriotic Good Americans” support Trump. But that is about a third of the actual population. And these “Real Patriotic Good God Fearing Americans” were outnumbered last time in Georgia.
But it seems the Dems' only Trump card is blacks.......and they're losing them in droves thanks to BLM.....and the riots.
That was the argument going into 2020. The riots would drive voters away from Democrats.
The problem is people don’t care about what you think they should. They care about what they care about.
Newt Gingrich was a genius. He picked ten populist issues to run on. Republicans who had never paid much lip service to many of those issues went all in. They spoke about the issues people cared about. This was the genius of the Contract with America.
When the politician in question is out of touch. They tell the public what the should care about. Another Republican example. John McCain. He said the only issue that anyone cared about was the War. The economy melted down. He was still out there talking about the war. Then he realized people cared about the economy more. Then he rushed back to Washington to get involved in the fix.
Obama pivoted earlier. And McCain was left looking out of touch and dumb. Obama won.
The problem for your assertion is this. A vast majority of the people do not live in the rioting cities. It isn’t affecting them. They don’t know anybody there. And they don’t care. They are not outraged that Blacks are in the streets. They aren’t incensed over the looting. It doesn’t mean a thing to them.
Most people do not view Minorities the way you and the rest of the White Wing do. So racism isn’t a winning issue. It just isn’t. Oh it will resonate with perhaps a quarter or a third of the population. But the rest don’t care. Problems in Chicago or Seattle are far away. They care more about their own lives and families.
Now like the arrogant left you all on the racist white keep screaming that we need to care what we are told to care about. That is not how elections are won.
What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today? [Open-ended]

If you want to win. You will listen to the people and put forward a platform that addresses their concerns. If you want to lose you’ll dictate what those issues are.
Look at the generic ballot polls.

Those are polls asking which party generally speaking you intend to vote for if the election was held today.
Democrats how the advantage in every single poll. So this mass exodus of yours doesn’t seem to be reflected in the polls. Perhaps they haven’t asked one of the hundreds who have left the Democratic Party.
And at the same time the Conspiracy Theory stolen election nonsense is having the more moderates leave the Republican Party. A majority have already lost interest in it. Why? The court cases. When the lawyers to the last in every single case said they had no proof of fraud. Everyone decided it was sour grapes and ignored the issue from then on.
Unless you can get a Colonel Oliver North up to confess then the issue is dead with the electorate. And you are not going to get an Olly North.
Why is the loss of top tier and well know Republicans an issue? A lot of reasons. First experienced people are less likely to say the usual Gaff that hurts their chances. Their message is more polished.
Second. They have the contacts for the fundraising and PAC’s. They know how to coordinate messages without coordinating illegally. They have an established staff and campaign that is able to handle the race.
They have name recognition. People know the name Purdue. They know the names and they recognize the faces. Honestly ten percent of voters go with the name they recognize. They don’t know shit about the issues or positions.
Honestly. A third of the population would vote Democrat if Satan was their candidate. A third would vote Republican under the exact same circumstances. That leaves the last third. The moderates. The people with no party loyalty. Of those a few will vote generally one way or the other. But the few who switch decide the election. Every single time.
Stop trying to win the base. You have them. Listen to the people and get them to vote for your side. And drop the nonsense race crap. It harms your side every time you or the others spout that shit.
