I'm not denying Herschel was a flawed candidate but seriously, "candidate quality" is a cope people are using to justify the failures of national Republicans to elect the candidates Republican voters choose in primaries and when the flawed Dem candidates win and ours lose.

@greg_price11 Oz was a worse candidate than Fetterman.

@MaxNordau Gonna have to disagree with that one

@greg_price11 Read the room, Greg. Candidate quality does matter. In PA, Oz was worse than Fetterman. Had the GOP nominated Dave McCormack in PA and Mark Brnovich in AZ and a normal Republican in GA, the GOP would've won control of the Senate.

@greg_price11 Candidate quality was obviously the issue in Georgia when Kemp and other Republicans in the state outperformed Walker.

@greg_price11 Oh and don’t forget Katie Hobbs.

@greg_price11 If the basis of a “quality candidate” is ultimately that they win elections then under that over simplified analysis, Dennis Hastert would go down as a “quality candidate”. As a Faustian pact that was, don’t be surprised later to find out their true self. And yes insiders knew.

@greg_price11 I am so tired of hearing it too. I mean if they are that blind, should we even be listening to them.

@greg_price11 The Fix is in and the flaunt it in your face!

@greg_price11 The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that a Democrat will always vote for a poor candidate—even a dead candidate, while Republicans are more picky.

@greg_price11 Unironically, this is your problem. (Not just you specifically, but R pundits.) Fetterman was an average candidate, and Biden was a good one. Believing otherwise was and is red Kool-aid drinking.

@greg_price11 Yes, get to work harvesting ballots, organizing early voting, and stop whining about 'stolen' elections.

@greg_price11 Generally speaking, Republicans vote "for" and Democrats vote "against". So candidate quality matters to the GOP.

@greg_price11 John Fetterman worked his ass off as a civil servant in PA & is beloved because he’s a fighter. The man had a stroke & will continue to improve. And Lord knows he has more integrity & character than you.

@greg_price11 Warnock tried to run over his old lady with his car. reeks of quality

@greg_price11 Oz wasn’t even a Pennsylvanian. I guess you can be a political tourist in other states but being a Pennsylvanian matters in PA. Plus republicans fled the state in droves 🙋🏻‍♂️ Still a bit shocked Fetterman won though

@greg_price11 So simple, GOP cares about candidate quality, Dems don’t. Conservatives will never go with the “just go with the party” strategy so…..get better candidates.

@greg_price11 @JennaEllisEsq No need to think any further than this, Greg! Just keep running Oz’s and Walkers!

@greg_price11 Yup

@greg_price11 The candidate quality aspect doesn't work in primaries, because people don't consider the fact that Repubs need independent voters to vote their way in the general. If the primary winner is flawed or "far right" they won't win in most instances.
