The cynical bid paid off: Literally all the extreme GOP candidates that Democrats boosted failed in the general election. Many people who would otherwise happily vote Republican were unwilling to vote for Trump or those he endorsed. And Trump’s sexist and misogynistic rhetoric alienated Republican voters, men and women alike. Women, for their part, moved toward the GOP, with women of color shifting more than white women.

☆ Dinner at Hate for Donald Trump, Nick Fuentes and Kanye West
  + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( Gerard Baker | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
“Dining With Nazis” sounds like the title of the latest Coen brothers film or a recently unearthed memoir of a favored restaurateur from the Third Reich. When it describes the social life of a declared candidate for president of the United States, we have a right to ask what it might mean. News of Donald Trump’s recent soiree at Mar-a-Lago with Nicholas Fuentes , a man whose repugnance stands in inverse relationship to his intellectual capacity, reminds us that the former and perhaps future president’s ability to attain new levels of notoriety remains impressively undimmed. Also at the table was noted musician, philosopher and apparently fellow candidate for the highest office Kanye West, who calls himself Ye. Mr. West has of late added to his repertoire of lyrical achievement the warning that he was about to go “death con 3 on Jewish people,” so it’s not unreasonable to infer some wider significance from this symposium of disordered minds.
