Democrats Outspend GOP to Lose...Again; TN 7th District goes to Van Epps

[Althea]

Says who?

So you aren't even qualified to discuss this?

 

[Earl]

Only the far left loons can turn an almost double digit, special election win by the Republicans into a win by Democrats.

This is why they lose…they can’t count.

 

[Jake Starkey]

An election win by less than half the majority last time? That election, Earl.

 

[FastLane]

GOP won with half of their victory rate a year ago.

That's in line with the Democrat victories of the last two months.

The GOP is clearly weakening.

That is like being half dead. You are still dead.

You are just recycling the same bullshit,

No, that's you, anchovies... (see below)

be it local, national, or special, the GOP always preformed high, very high, in the district regardless until now

There have only been three elections held under the current district lines. The 2022 general election (midterm), the 2024 general election (presidential), and the 2025 special election (special).

2022 = R+22 (incumbent representative, midterm election)
2024 = R+21 (incumbent representative, presidential election)
2025 = R+9 (non-incumbent representative, special election)

There are no prior special elections held under these district lines to compare this special election result against. The same applies to prior midterm elections and prior presidential elections.

The 2026 midterm will be the first election held in this district that would be fairly comparable against a prior election result (the 2022 midterm). I expect the 2026 midterm result to be roughly double the margin of the 2025 special election result (so closer to R+18).

They also can't differentiate between different things. (e.g. special elections vs general elections)

 

[Jake Starkey]

We are talking about this victory. Your majority was less than half the last time.

Says who? They only this well because it was n off year special election = low turnout; GOP STILL WON.

And once again, be it local, national, or special, the GOP always preformed high, very high, in that district regardless until now

They also blew nearly $2 billion for the Queen of Cackle to lose , as well....

That cracks me up, thank you. I didn't know they were that crazy, and I already think they're certifiable so, wow, 2 billion on a House seat. And libtard's pretend to hate billionaires, hilarious.

How much was spent by both parties in the recent TN 7th District Congressional seat?

Republican Side (Van Epps + GOP PACs)​

• Candidate fundraising: $993k
• Outside PAC support: $2.3M (Lookout) → up to $6M (USA Today full-cycle estimate)
• Estimated total GOP-side spending: ~$3.3M to $7M

Democratic Side (Behn + Dem PACs)​

• Candidate fundraising: $1.23M
• Outside PAC support: $1.8M (Lookout) → $1M+ (USA Today)
• Estimated total Dem-side spending: ~$3M

Who gave U permission to speak?

Himself, Hawk. He doesn't need any other permissions to speak.

She lost by less than half that. Trump won by more than 22 points.

Trump won by 86 votes, Sybil.

 

[Into the Night]

Harbinger for a massive Dem victory next year.

How?

 

[Into the Night]

I didn't.

But if you MAGA morons want to crow about a GOP win in a state like Tennessee...do it. I enjoy seeing it. I am sure our Democratic Party colleagues do also.

I was just surprised. But I guess nothing should surprise me about the MAGA morons. I should just laugh at them...and move on.

MAGA is not a person, Doofan.

Courtier's fallacy.

Argument from randU fallacy.
Making up numbers and using them as 'data' is a fallacy, Sybil.

 

[Into the Night]

Math error. 53.9% is a majority, Sybil.
