I particularly remember her dinging a guy for losing who in fact won.

Sure, but the broader point remains: she is clear about where/how modern elections are won.

It's worth reading the rebuttals to that theory of victory by Conor Lamb and Elissa Slotkin, who are winning those modern elections in contested seats.

Yes, that one. IIRC Lamb was the guy she incorrectly called out by name for losing.

Slotkin’s smart. Though I wonder how cohesive the GOP will look in two years if it all goes impeachy in a week or so.

I wager you a large hard salami of your choice that they will win decisively in 2022

Sure. "Win" counts the 6 percent advantage they have in the House due to gerrymandering and the Senate which they can win with 20%? They may well "win" both, and look what happens when they don't win even with the massive electoral college advantage they had.

Are there any conditions at all under which the Republicans can win an election and it's not unfair or a coup in your eyes, so I can get Charles to buy me a salami?

Yes, of course. Elections have widely-recognized standards, not my made-up rules. I agree they would win *some* even under those standards, but Senate is structurally minority;most of the rest of the country is gerrymandered and voters disenfranchised; plus electoral college.

For example, we had a Voting Rights Act and it was enforced, obviously partisan gerrymandering struck down and they won the popular vote as well as the electoral college? Choice of hard salami is on its way. (Senate is what it is. Rest is their deliberate choice.)
