The Campaign Update: One Great Chart Says It All About The GOP
Found this on Twitter this morning:
Emily Eakins is the Vice President and Director of Polling at the Cato Institute. The poll is a NYTimes/Sienna poll, so you take it for what it’s worth. But the reality is that these results just show us a truth that has echoed over time: If conservative voters in the U.S. were united on their direction like the Democrats are and would turn out to vote in the elections in their true numbers, our country wouldn’t be in the mess we find ourselves in today.
Herschel Walker lost his election to Ralph Warnock by less than 1% of the vote. What if those 3% additional voters in Georgia had actually shown up to vote? As of this morning, Adam Laxalt leads in Nevada’s plodding vote count by less than 2% - how much difference would the additional 1% shown in that poll make there? Blake Masters trails by 5% right now in Arizona with 25% of the vote still to be counted. That additional 4% would have given him a fighter’s chance to end up on top.
The biggest problem we have as conservative thinkers and Americans is that conservatives tend to carry their arguments and grudges with one another right through election day. Democrats don’t do that. They squabble and disagree internally all the time, and Democrats like Bernie Sanders and AOC detest Democrats like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. But when it comes down to voting and getting more Democrats elected, they march in goosestep like the good little Soviets they really are.
