Somebody please go find out why Republicans voted against #Massie. I really can't understand it unless they still just love Trump blindly or were tricked by the massive advertising. He's like a perfect Republican with brains and integrity. Maybe he wasn't focused enough on local issues.cc @ryan @eriner @billybon3s @klaatu @nam @sirphenom @SirSeatSitter @Darren @Vox @threalist @Nicktherat @melodiousowls @sirchris @phoneboy @fletcher @realcaseyrollins @takash @makeheroism

"By May 17, ad spending exceeded $32 million, with pro-Israel interest groups accounting for over $9 million of the spending against Massie. Massie described the primary election as a "referendum on whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress"I'm seeing comments that this was the most spent in American history for a house seat.Also, baby boomers voted for the Trump candidate.

@threalist @ryan @billybon3s @eriner @klaatu yes I know the spending was record breaking but what kind of ad can even be effective re Massie unless you're completely ignorant re who he is or willing to do whatever Trump says. And if you're that out of the loop, how does somebody get you to vote in a primary?

From the above, we could surmise that the Baby Boomers are the TV generation, and will do whatever the screen tells them to do.Maybe that's the simplest explanation of what happened.

@realcaseyrollins @ryan @wjmaggos @billybon3s @eriner @klaatu @threalist Massy made the perfect the enemy of the good. he voted against bills that did a lot to usher in MAGA because there was something in them he didn't like.There is a reason he got so much funding from democrats. When it really mattered, he voted with them. When it didn't matter much, he voted with republicans. (sadly most legislation doesn't matter much).If he had gotten his way, deportations would have all but shut down.

@Phil @realcaseyrollins @wjmaggos @billybon3s @eriner @klaatu @threalist > he voted against bills because there was something in them he didn't likeImagine if more Congresspeople voted this way. Imagine how much less pork and fraud would make its way into these 10,000 page bills.Maybe the problem isn't one person voting what he thinks is best for his constituency. Maybe the problem is the other 434 voting the way their party's hivemind demands.

@ryan @wjmaggos @billybon3s @eriner @klaatu @threalist @realcaseyrollins Go examine his actual voting record (ignoring what he says about it) and make a list of all the things that wouldn't have passed if everything went the way he voted. It would be a near disaster and only serve to empower the commies. God forbid we eliminate 350 billion in progressive funding in exchange for 50 billion in funding he doesn't like.
