Still, there are many millions of voters who are perfectly happy to make Trump's pathological inability to accept his own failure their main "issue" when deciding who to vote for. I have heard, though, that validity has little to do with it at this point...

TRUMP’S BIGGEST LOSERS

Dr. Mehmet Oz
David McCormick, a former undersecretary of the Treasury Department under George W. Bush, was recruited to run for the Pennsylvania seat vacated by Republican Pat Toomey. But Trump favored TV personality Oz and attacked McCormick in the primary. Oz lost to John Fetterman, a Democrat who was so addled by a stroke, he could barely debate.

Blake Masters
Mitch McConnell and other Republican leaders very much wanted Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to run against Democrat Mark Kelly for Senate. But Trump blasted Ducey for not illegally overturning the 2022 election results in Arizona, and the governor decided not to run. The race hasn’t been called, but it seems that Kelly will defeat election denier Masters.

Don Bolduc
The Republican candidate for senator from New Hampshire got Trump’s support for saying 2020 was stolen during the primary. But when he wavered in the general, Trump attacked him, and when Bolduc lost to Democrat Maggie Hassan, Trump disowned him.

Herschel Walker
Trump was all in on the former NFL player despite doubts from other Republicans. Walker way underperformed fellow Republican Brian Kemp (whom Trump refused to endorse or campaign for because he wouldn’t illegally overturn Georgia’s vote), who cruised to re-election as governor. Walker now faces a runoff with Sen. Raphael Warnock.

Doug Mastriano
The GOP thought it had a shot at the Pennsylvania governor’s seat, but Trump boosted the election-denying Mastriano, who lost to Democrat Josh Shapiro.

Damn. The youth vote in Arizona is 70-30 Democrat. I can see IB running down his street right now yelling at the Hippie kids to get out of the park. It's dark!

they think the democrats are going to figure out a way for them to buy a house, pay off their student loans and give them free health care.

They'll switch to GOP when they realize that won't happen and they have to pay taxes

Yeah, Baby Boomers were 70-30 Democrat when they were stupid 20 somethings.

I was actually thinking this yesterday.

if you are young and not a liberal you have no heart
if you are old and not a conservative you have no brain.......

Liberal fundraisers actually put money behind Trump-endorsed candidates in GOP primaries all over the place to help them prevail so that Democrats could face them in the general election. It was transparently cynical and an abuse of our political process. But it worked like gangbusters...

That book was published in early 2021.

Maybe they have a better way. We'll see Mr. Doubtpants.

Do People Really Become More Conservative as They Age?

Folk wisdom has long held that people become more politically conservative as they grow older, although several empirical studies suggest political attitudes are stable across time. Using data from the Michigan Youth-Parent Socialization Panel Study, we analyze attitudinal change over a major portion of the adult life span. We document changes in party identification, self-reported ideology, and selected issue positions over this time period and place these changes in context by comparing them with contemporaneous national averages. Consistent with previous research but contrary to folk wisdom, our results indicate that political attitudes are remarkably stable over the long term.

No. And it's not "folk wisdom" either. It's stupid smug Republicans that used to say that shit.
