GOP Rep. Renee Ellmers and Rep. George Holding are facing a winner-take-all June 7 primary for the GOP nomination in North Carolina’s 2nd congressional District — and conservatives are rallying to defeat Ellmers.
“In a [primary] race like this, I get to run on my record and she gets to run on her record,” Holding told Breitbart said. “I have a conservative voting record and she has a liberal voting record—and this is a conservative district.”
Carter Wrenn, Holding’s campaign’s spokesman, said North Carolina conservatives once had high hopes for Ellmers.
“She jumped on the Tea Party bandwagon in 2009,” he said. “But, as soon as she got the Washington, we learned that she was just an opportunist.”

Paleocon Walter Jones (Trumpkin, Buchanan type) beat Kristol buttboy Taylor Griffin.
Would have throught Trump’s endorsement would have helped her pull more than 24%
Right? That’s kinda odd.
Trump needs to be careful who he endorses. He needs a mix of advisors,and not just listen to the one who speaks the loudest.
It’s not just that she lost, it’s that she got clobbered.
