They hate each other right up until election day when they all fall in line together.
Don’t let Republican hand-wringing over other Republicans fool you. They still have a common enemy to unite them- the fear of anyone except Republicans having power.
I mean I understand the truth in this but look at the Georgia results in 2020. Biden won the state even though a lot of other Republicans got more votes than Trump. There wasn’t a down ticket effect for democrats, a lot of Republicans just left it blank instead of voting for Trump.
I’m not sure about other states, I live in Georgia so i was hyperaware about what was happening here.
The other way to look at that is that it took a man as shockingly vile as Trump to make them reconsider even one specific R for the presidency, but they still voted R the rest of the way down. Don’t underestimate Republican commitment to voting Republican.
Also I think Biden’s win in Georgia can be attributed more to increased voter turnout than a few Rs declining to vote for Trump.

Exactly. “Oh no, that’s terrible! votes ( R ) down-ticket”

Yeah I brought in 6 new voters between the presidential and the runoffs for Warnock! I felt so useful.
That is pretty awesome. Getting more people to partiipcate matters more than almost anything else at this point.
