the oppo research was everywhere and nobody caught *any* of this? Even one of these thing--the financial issues, the fake Jewishness, the mother dying on 9/11 and also in 2016, the racist bullshit--could have sunk him. All of it together would have meant a blowout loss.

The media did.

But go ahead and wallow in your hatred of Democrats. It's what the anti-Democrat brigade here always does.

The losing Democratic candidate in this race has commented that his campaign was underfunded and neglected by the state party. In retrospect, anyone can see that he's right. Is he also "wallowing in hatred of Democrats"?

of opposition research and discovered quite a lot of his "embellishments". It didn't make a bit of difference with the republican voters in his district.

Republicans don't care if their candidates are total liars, hardened criminals, mentally damaged illiterate former sports figures, violent insurectionists, or whacked-out conspiracy theory believers. It doesn't matter to them.

Any means to reach their end, which is the power to turn back the clock 200 years, to what they envision as the halcyon days of the United States.

Pro-slavery, no rights for women, white men run everything, no corporate laws, no anti- trust laws, and violence solves everything. This is the United States they see as their ideal situation.
