The internet isn't real life when it comes to politics

This is why Thomas Massie will likely lose his primary, while Byron Donalds and Vivek Ramaswamy will win convincingly.

If you looked solely online you would believe Thomas Massie is the most popular politician on the planet. Some Democrats like him because he stands up to Trump, while groypers like him because he doesn't take money from AIPAC. Unfortunately for Massie, he will have to win over Republican voters in Kentucky in a closed primary against a Trump-endorsed opponent. I don't think it's impossible Massie could win, but I don't believe he's favored.

In Florida and Ohio, we have other candidates that are supported by the "terminally online": James Fishback and Casey Putsch. Fishback is running solely on opposing Israel in a state where the Republican electorate is primarily Boomer retirees (a demographic that largely supports Israel). Fishback will likely place a distant third behind Trump-backed Donalds and DeSantis-backed Collins. Putsch is even less known than Fishback, and has posted pictures of burning a MAGA flag. While Vivek is flawed as a candidate and could face a competitive general, I think he will win his primary by a large margin.

Just look at how terminally online Valentina Gomez did in Missouri last year. She only got around 7% of the vote in the Missouri Republican SoS primary. I expect Fishback and Putsch to face a similar result, albeit with less candidates. Massie will do better than those two due to his incumbency, but I don't think he's some beloved electoral juggernaut like his fans believe.
