Trump and his acolytes seem to glory in putting in very unqualified or misqualified folks. I don't know why his followers do it, but I think Trump loves to embarrass people. I remember when he was going on and on about bleach and light up people's rear-ends in a covid press conference. He seemed to love watching Dr. Brix squirm as he said absurd things.<br /><br />I know nothing about substack. How do I find you there?

I'll always vote third party, if it's a reasonable option, rather than abstain, though. <br /><br />I've found in the blogosphere that "like attracts like", so even though I'm pretty moderate in my views (leaning neither left nor right all the time), I've learned what not to say in my comments. As Ed mentioned, many folks are close-minded (despite what they might think!).Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-29480989449409338972022-11-11T12:00:45.518-06:002022-11-11T12:00:45.518-06:00P.S.

But I know many a person who simply shuts down at the mere mention of anything negative said about their party of choice. I was banned from commenting on another blog earlier this year for that very reason. I just move on and feel sorry that they have to live their life so close minded in order to function.

When I turned on the ...You aren't the only one. When I turned on the television to watch the results come in, that was the first time I had heard of the "red wave". I mean I have heard and seen that midterms often swing for the opposite party of the president but I've never heard "blue wave" in the past either. Like you, I think it is mostly just the media seeking attention/relevancy. <br /><br />I had a mixed ticket too this year. I had planned to abstain from voting for our governor but ended up voting third party at the last minute. I have yet to see any graph, bar chart or figure announcing his vote total. Par for the course.<br /><br />Although I don't know this for sure, I'm guessing all the sleaze about Walker came out after his nomination. At that point, it puts his party in a tough spot. Does one continue to support him despite the sleaze or bow out withdrawing support and leave the other guy the winner. I personally would be willing to walk away but then I'm not supporting a party. His party obviously thought differently. Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.com
