Why I didn't believe the hype

Red wave didn't happen. Dems complain about voter suppression but in my experience Republicans always fail to turnout at midterms. Every. Single. Time.

Indeed we are.
WITHOUT A DOUBT. Regardless of the final outcome of this year's midterms, you can see that many horrible and/or radical and socialist candidates came very close to winning, and in elections after that, we're doomed -- unless some sort of miracle involving Trump takes place!

Well, Trump turned many Independents off or riled up the Ds to turn out. Oz lost because he's a bad candidate and Trump endorsed him.

Time to sue for BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY.

"A fiduciary duty is an obligation to act in the best interest of another party. For instance, a corporation's board member has a fiduciary duty to the shareholders, a trustee has a fiduciary duty to the trust's beneficiaries, and an attorney has a fiduciary duty to a client.

A fiduciary obligation exists whenever the relationship with the client involves a special trust, confidence, and reliance on the fiduciary to exercise his discretion or expertise in acting for the client. The fiduciary must knowingly accept that trust and confidence to exercise his expertise and discretion to act on the client's behalf.

When one person does agree to act for another in a fiduciary relationship, the law forbids the fiduciary from acting in any manner adverse or contrary to the interests of the client, or from acting for his own benefit in relation to the subject matter. The client is entitled to the best efforts of the fiduciary on his behalf and the fiduciary must exercise all of the skill, care and diligence at his disposal when acting on behalf of the client. A person acting in a fiduciary capacity is held to a high standard of honesty and full disclosure in regard to the client and must not obtain a personal benefit at the expense of the client."

Guy I work with has family in PA. He thinks the deciding factor was that Oz used his inlaws' (I think) address to establish residency to run for office - but he has and I think still does live in New Jersey. I guess the last week or 2 leading up to election they just pumped reel after reel of various Oz video clips where he's introducing himself saying "I'm from New Jersey".

But there's a difference in being from new jersey and residing in new jersey. My sons and grandkids live in Green Bay. But they're from Escanaba.

True, but I think it was obvious he only established residency to run for office. To voters it was not geniune - he wasn't there to represent them or their state. At least that's the perception from one PA family, so you know it's true for the whole state! lol

I guess he has a feel good story behind him too. Troubled past, overcome, got into politics to help local community as a Mayor and moved up from there.

Health issues aside, I don't know much about either of them (outside what my coworker has mentioned - which has not included any actual policy). So I don't know if one is better or if they're about the same and just have a different letter beside their name.

At least Lurch is still alive! This is also the state that voted in a dead man!

He may not be the ideal candidate, but worse than fucking Lurch??
I can tell you people won't vote for someone trump supports. Even here in Alabama I know people who wouldn't vote for Mo Brooks back in the primary because he was trump supported. People voted against Dale strong here locally because Dale mentioned he stood with Trump. They are independents.

While Trump gets a certain base to the poles, he gets people to vote against those he supports. Jesus they voted in a dead guy. They hate Trump that much.

He was a shit candidate and everyone knew it. Barnette was a better candidate but Trump decided to endorse Oz.
