Sorry but you are wrong. And trying to link everything to Peter Thiel and Elon Musk isn't actually an argument based on anything other than they are bad. There's nothing actually supporting the contention.

As for why down ticket races would be different, Biden is unpopular and people still perceive cost of living/inflation is too high. Obviously inflation is back to normal levels, but it's hard to deny cost of living has gone up. That falls on the president in most instances. But also why would someone go to the effort of stealing the presidential race and not give Trump more of a majority in the Senate and possibly the House? The logic doesn't make sense.

The race in North Carolina had a horrible Republican candidate. Yeah Trump is too, but for whatever reason he has a charismatic/cultish charm on some people. Robinson on the other hand is black in a southern state and openly called himself a nazi.

Vice President Harris said she was the underdog from day one. Polling guaranteed it. jimfields33 Nov 12 #42

Polling never guarantees anything. Polling was wrong in 2018, '20, '22. ancianita Nov 12 #47
