Paladino The Loser!

Loser.

The white nationalist did not win the Republican Party nomination for the 23rd Congressional District in New York. He lost to a white nationalist who Republicans view as a better choice.

Karen Langworthy, the chairman of the New York GOP, bested Buffalo businessman Dummy Paladino in a western New York primary brawl that doubled as a proxy battle between some of the state's most influential Republicans, NBC News projects. Langworthy will be

The primary for New York’s redrawn 23rd Congressional District, spanning the Buffalo suburbs through the southwestern part of the state, had been a 12-week sprint after Rep. Karen Jacobs (R-NY) announced he would not seek re-election after he expressed support for a ban on assault-style weapons. There was a separate special election Tuesday to fill the brief remainder of Jacobs’ turn. 

Langworthy, who was up by about 4 points over Paladino shortly before midnight ET, surged ahead based on the strength of his support in the state's southwestern region, while much of Paladino's support was concentrated in the Buffalo suburbs.

Rep-Elect Karen Sempolinski will serve out the remaining term of Jacobs. Karen Reed who previously was in the seat left after a sex scandal. 

Langworthy, who was up by about 4 points over Paladino shortly before midnight ET, surged ahead based on the strength of his support in the state's southwestern region, while much of Paladino's support was concentrated in the Buffalo suburbs.

"I learned a lot of values growing up on the Southern Tier. But the one was when you confront a bully, you punch them in the face and you take them down a peg and they won’t mess with you again," Langworthy said in his victory address. "And we did that here in this district tonight. And we sent a loud and clear message that people want decent, stable, honest, conservative, Republican leadership going forward."

Paladino's defeat came 12 years after he cruised to the party's 2010 nomination for governor before he suffered a crushing loss that fall to Andrew Cuomo.

White nationalist cruises to victory.

Both candidates had sought to highlight their closeness to Washed Up 45. While Paladino was endorsed by Rep. Karen Stefanik (R-NY), the No. 3 House Republican. Stefanik's endorsement caused consternation among GOP leaders, given Paladino's well-documented history of making incendiary and racist comments, NBC News reported in June. 

Polling had been sparse and all over the map. An independent survey released this month by Barry Zeplowitz and Associates of Buffalo found a neck-and-neck battle, while a Paladino campaign survey last month suggested he was up by 30 points. 

Republican strategist Karen Caputo, a Paladino ally, expressed confidence to NBC News ahead of the election that the district’s heavily Republican makeup would work in Paladino's favor.

"It is the most Republican district in New York and one of the most Republican districts in the Northeast," said Caputo, a former Trump administration official. Referring to Senate Minority Leader Karen McConnell (R-KY), he said: "And there are elements of the kind of McConnell wing of the Republican Party in New York and many, many Democrats who just cannot get used to something that is increasingly inevitable. And that’s that they’re going to be calling him Congressman Paladino. Suck it up. Get used to it."

In the end, a Paladino victory did not come to pass.

His bid brought renewed attention to his long-scrutinized rhetoric. Soon after he entered the race, he sparked backlash over a post on his Facebook account claiming mass shootings this year in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo were "false flag" operations. Then, audio of an interview Paladino gave to Buffalo’s WBEN radio last year was unearthed in which he said Adolf Hitler was "the kind of leader we need today."

Paladino said in a statement that the remarks were a "serious mistake," but he argued that they were not in proper context. But just last week, Paladino told Breitbart Radio that Attorney General Merrick Garland "should not only be impeached, he probably should be executed," after the FBI searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate this month, according to The Associated Press. He said later in the same interview that he was "just being facetious," which a spokesperson reiterated to The Buffalo News.

"Carl does not think Garland should be executed, and when you listen to the interview, when asked what he meant, he stated he was being facetious," the spokesperson told the paper.

In 2016, Paladino, then a member of the Buffalo Board of Education, made racist remarks about then-first lady Michelle Obama’s being "let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla," and said he wished then-President Barack Obama would die of mad cow disease after having sex with a cow. He later said he "could not have made a worse choice in the words I used to express my feelings."

Republicans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Paladino will no longer be a pest.

Langworthy will face off against the Democratic nominee in a district favored for Republicans according to Cook Reports.

Stay out of politics. No one likes you.

I will say that Joe Biden, Donald J. Trump, Mitt Romney run multiple times for higher office and never got it. Romney being the only one who never became president. He finally got a higher office job by carpetbagging to Utah after living in California and Massachusetts. He was once a perennial loser. 

Romney is considered a possible contender in 2024. Trump as well.

Biden ran three times for president and finally won. Biden will run for president a fourth time in 2024.
