[QUOTE="JSRG, post: 76995643, member: 418772"] An irrelevant statistic. I could "endorse" hundreds of candidates on a blog and be sure to win every single one--just by picking a bunch of people who are in districts they're guaranteed to win. The races that matter in regards to whether Trump cost Republicans winnable races with his primary endorsements are the ones where he gave a primary endorsement to someone who wasn't necessarily going to win the primary without him [I]and[/I] the general election was competitive (or the general election wasn't seen as competitive due to the election area normally strongly favoring Republicans or Democrats, but it ended up coming out the other way). As far as I can tell, when we examine those cases, things don't look particularly good for Trump. Now, I'm willing to admit maybe I was wrong on that, though--there were some cases where it worked out (J.D. Vance got elected, though it was believed that he had a tougher time of it than another Republican might have), but it seems by and large he went for candidates that lost competitive races. Has anyone done a "compilation" of the results of all of the competitive races where Trump endorsed a candidate and said candidate won the primary as a result? [/QUOTE]
