@BE : with all the respect, this is a cheap scape to bring gender relations in for explaining the failure of female candidates. some of the most conservative US states have had female governors
in any case , it sucks that MAGA will take over the GOP for at least a generation and good old fiscal conservatism will be flushed down the toilet for the supposedly conservative party
I blame this on Democrats who propped up an obviously zombified man as their candidate, only to be forced to discard him for an obviously unliked and unpopular candidate at the last minute.
