Pro-Trump candidate Danny Tarkanian to challenge Dean Heller in Nevada primary
Washington Examiner ^ | Aug. 8, 2017 9:05AM | David Drucker

Posted on 08/08/2017 6:37:55 AM PDT by EliRoom8

Perennial candidate Danny Tarkanian will challenge Sen. Dean Heller in Nevada's 2018 GOP primary, in the hopes of capitalizing on the incumbent's public clashes with President Trump.

Tarkanian issued a statement Tuesday aligning himself with Trump and promising to stick with the president if he is elected next year.

"I am a conservative Republican who supports the policies of President Trump to repeal Obamacare and end illegal immigration. I will continue to support President Trump's policies that have led to a 20 percent increase in the stock market in just six months. I will join Senator Lee, Senator Cruz, and Senator Paul fighting for real reforms against the liberals in our party," Tarkanian said, referring to three senators who also periodically oppose Trump.

Great, this is what must happen. The GOPe must lose some primaries. Make no mistake Heller hid behind his yes vote on the skinny repeal. He waited until he was sure McTraitor was a no before he voted.

Corker, Flake, Hatch and Heller all need to be removed from office in 2018 for their vote for Rubio’s amnesty bill.

Graham has told us if we do not remove the Amnesty Senators from office they will keep working for illegal aliens.

Graham and Alexander in 2020

Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022.

McCain will be dead.

Changing out these senators must become an obsession. They must go & Trump must do everything he can to see the senate get cleaned up.

The GOP should’ve nominated Tarkanian in 2010 to go up against Harry Reid. That was a golden opportunity missed.

Draining the swamp of the Senate and House is up to us, the voters.

WE have to stop voting for weasels that betray us.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

I firmly believe McTurtle and other Repub backstabbers intend to throw the election and purposely lose the majority so they can impeach DJT and return to their status quo of the globalist-fueled destruction of our country.

These primary challenges are what we will need to stem this flow! I hope to see A LOT more article like this as 2018 campaign season approaches.

This is only the beginning. In Florida, I will be not be voting for Democrat Senator, Bill Nelson to be re-elected, He is useless from A-Z. I also I have informed my Republican Congressman FL-18thCD, Brain Mast, that I will not be voting for him either. I am hoping that Mr. Mast will be challenged in a primary with a conservative that will fully support POTUS, Trump and actively seek the removal of Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.

I am glad that Senator Heller, NV, is facing a tough primary race, with an opponent that seeks to support POTUS, Trump and the removal of Senate Majority Leader, the most useless, Mitch McConnell.

I fully assume and am sure millions of Trump supporters will devastate the ranks of Republican, RINOs, “Never Trumpers” and establishment turncoats and traitors. God bless American political primaries.

If he has the courage, maybe not the right word, his father had, he’ll be a good one. Anybody but Heller!

Absolutely right, the Trump obstructionists must go. We have to support and donate to their challengers.

I was very disappointed to hear my new Republican congressman (Jacksonville, FL) on the radio sounding like a Democrat with his “bipartisan” nonsense. The guy never says a word and then, boom, he’s spouting Never Trump beltway talk points.

Hopefully someone who supports POTUS, Trump and wants to make America great again, will primary your “gutless” Congressperson.

Bottom line; Defeat every Democrat and primary every Republican RINO,”NeverTrumper” & Establishment Turncoat. If they support either Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell, vote to defeat them.

While POTUS, Trump works unendingly to MAGA, The Republican Party, Congress, the House & Senate has failed the American people on all fronts, is laughing at all of us as they collude openly with the Democrat low life and enjoy unending vacations, while doing nothing to perform their jobs and services for We, The People. Broom all of them!!!

Good. Now lets get a Trump supporting challenger for Hatch in UT, and Corker in TN. I think we need a stronger challenger for Flake in AZ.

Danny is a good guy. I attended law school, and graduated with, Danny Tarkanian in 1988. His Dad sat next to my Mom during the graduation ceremony. Bright red cowboy boots.

He’s a damn site better than Heller!

NO MORE MORMONS IN 2018!

Get rid of Heller, Flake and Hatch, the Mormon Troika. They are shills for their Church’s position on immigration. These states should tell the Romneyites to GFT.
I shudder every time I reflect on my parents raising me in that $hit “religion!” There was a time when Mormons stood for decent conservatism, but that is no longer the case.

Voting is done in such a stupid way. They should be writing their name, state, and vote on a piece of paper, put it in an envelope, and then all votes are revealed/counted at the same time. No more hiding under a 49-51 vote to let RINOs vote the way they should every now and then!
