Remember what we have stated about “tremors” and “twitches” that get overlooked by most media?  Yeah, well…

update-1UPDATE 11:30pm EDT Race Called !  Huelskamp Lost

tim huelskamp 5

(((snicker))) A July 15th Poll Release: showed U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp (+9) leading Republican primary challenger Roger Marshall, 47 percent to 38 percent.

However, one of Toxic Ted Cruz’s biggest republican advocates, Tim Huelskamp (Kansas), looks like he is about to lose lost his re-election bid with a primary challenge from Roger Marshall.

Tim Huelskamp is a rabid, VERY RABID, Trump hater.  He was one of the inner network republican house rep #NeverTrump antagonists, and a full-throated Ted Cruz supporter. A really nasty piece of work. – SEE HERE

Representative Huelskamp even advertised and promoted his hatred for republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.  A primary defeat tonight would portend some favorability toward the odds of a Paul Nehlen victory next week (Tuesday August 9th)....

It was also a victory for those who believe Trump will be far better for the country than Hillary.

And a big “so what” ? How is voting for a liberal RINO who is a puppet of the party establishment an improvement over a solid Conservative who opposes the Ryan/McConnell machine ? Folks need to get over their pathological hatred of Cruz, it’s blinding them to reason and perspective. Enough is enough. Focus on November instead and the real enemy: Hillary.

‘Freedom Caucus has done what? What purpose does it serve? Why does it exist?’

Now, now, it’s not as if they’ve done nothing. They voted by a super majority to make Ryan Speaker. I’m sure they consider that big accomplishment quite a feather in their caps.

You and I are usually in agreement. But this Huelskamp defeat does not serve our cause at all. Marshall is precisely the kind of people we’re trying to get rid of that keep the GOP from unapologetically pursuing a Conservative agenda.

Huelskamp supported Cruz. So did many of us. If you have any proof or evidence that Huelskamp currently opposes Trump or intends to vote for Hillary, please provide it. Marshall is a left-winger who will support open borders and oppose the Trump agenda. Do you consider that a victory ?

Actually, Lyin' Rotten Ryan supported Tim Huelskamp, and recently gave him another important leadership assignment (see "http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/tim-huelskamp-house-leadership-paul-ryan/2015/12/14/id/705791/".)

The Koch brothers also supported Tim Huelskamp (see "http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/tim-huelskamp-kansas-primary-226486".)

It’s hard to believe folks are celebrating this. Rogers is a Chamber of Commerce pro-illegal pro-TPP RINO. Folks have to start looking beyond the end of their noses. How someone stands on Trump is just a single factor to be considered.

And lost in all this is the fact that 11 conservative Republican allies of Sam Brownback were primaried out of their state senate and house seats yesterday. That means at least 11 fewer votes to support Brownback's policies next year. Is the Huelskamp loss really a Trump win? Or just another moderate Republican victory?

He’s not elected.

From what I can see, Huelskamp didn’t do enough to warrant being re-elected.

His base was not pleased.

Republicans should learn from this, but something tells me they won’t learn a damned thing.

‘Nothing, nada, zilch, bupkis, zero.’

You left out my favorite: the donut. (It’s another way to say ‘zero’; I got it from the conservative talk show host, Howie Carr.)

“can we get over this irrational hate “

The reaction is perfectly rational. The Cruz missile’s 23 minute RNC speech was a deliberate act of BS. F Cruz and anyone he endorses.

No, the GOP is trying to sabotage Trump, obviously.

That’s what they do. They are master losers. Experts in failure.

So tell me again why I should vote for any of them? tell me why I should vote for Marco Rubio. He’s my senator.

Telling me that I should vote for someone because they are not someone else, doesn’t mean a damn thing to me either.

I want positive reasons.

And no, I don’t support Nazi Poopsi and Shmuckey Shumer, but I also don’t support back stabbing, lying, do nothing Republican’ts either.

If they lose their jobs because of their pitiful and useless nature, TFB.

Better skill next time.

Huelskamp was tossed from the Agriculture Committee by the Weeping Boner (who celebrated his defeat last night), Ryan never gave him back the slot that he asked for that was of paramount importance to his constituency.

Ryan is certainly on notice. I saw his “team” announced today that they can and plan to win w/o Trump’s endorement. I hope he gets crushed. But it IS Wisconsin.

>Some folks cannot. They're mentally ill; their support for Trump is secondary to their hate for Cruz. If I were a psychologist, I would want to study them. As I am not, I only pity them.

I don't like back stabbing holier than thou liars like Ted Cruz. If you still support him after he broke his word then you are just as without honor as he is.

Once Trump secured the required number of delegates to be the nominee, the time to undercut and backstab him was over. Those who persisted past that point in trying to undermine Trump were working for Hillary. Period.
