Freedom, Capitalism, and Putting America First’

The nostalgia candidate, huh?

Only will appeal to the age 60 and over crowd.

He’s my congressman. Heritage ranks him at %100. ACU ranks him at %97.21.

On the opposite side, National Environmental Scorecard ranks him at %4.

That and the fact that he’s a gun store owner sounds promising.

Mark Robinson who I really like, said he won’t run. I don’t think Lara Trump has decided yet. Not sure if Mark Meadows would consider it.

He talks MAGA but I suppose we'll find out.

Shaping up to be a very crowded primary.

MAGA for sure !!!

He’s a Real American !!! I was just thinking the other day about calling Ted and asking Him to run for the Senate.

Ted has helped Me with several things over the last few years. I called His Local Office to leave a message early one morning at 06:45 and on the 4th ring I was caught off guard when I heard “Good Morning, Ted Budd’s Office this is Ted speaking how may I help You ?” After catching My breath I told Him My name and what I was calling about. He replied that He was going to calling Me later that day and He knew what I was calling about and gave Me the information that I was looking for.

How many times have any of Your Reps answered the phone themselves ?

He’s got My VOTE !!!

Excellent. People are starved for candidates who have genuine beliefs and values and live out what they say.

W Bush eventually was shown to be a fraud. He ran on conservatism, but has been proven many times over to be a fraud. He definitely was NOT the person he campaigned as.
