Remember what we have stated about “tremors” and “twitches” that get overlooked by most media? Yeah, well…
UPDATE 11:30pm EDT Race Called ! Huelskamp Lost
(((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)....

Wow—Huelskamp is really getting beaten up on Twitter.

Not interested. You folks need to let go of this pathological hatred.
He lost his job, because he and his entire party have done nothing of merit to warrant their return.
I know that a lot of people think oh, we have to keep the GOP in power no matter what, because if we don’t those other guys are going to take over. But that doesn’t really mean anything.
We gave them the opportunity, and they blew it and spit in our faces to boot, and now they are trying to sabotage our nominee.
My guess is they are going to experience the negative consequences of their arrogant behavior very soon.
Nehlen beats Ryan
Ward beats McCain
(and I don't care if it's the primary or general.)
No.
When Cruz gives his full-throated support to his party’s nominee — which he PLEDGED to do and which he should do just out of party loyalty — then, and only then, will I CONSIDER stopping the “Cruz bashing.” (“I’m not there right now...”)
As a Christian conservative, I am glad Huelskamp lost. His vitriol against Trump was judgmental and cringe-worthy, IMHO.
You didn’t answer my question. Do you think supporting an open borders left-winger in Marshall helps President Trump as opposed to Huelskamp who doesn’t support open borders ?
BOOM! Donuts!
People who support the election of Hillary Clinton are not Conservatives.
A long time ago the NRA figured our the best form of politics is to punish your the people who backstabbing you by rewarding their foes even if they don't agree with you. I don't see a reason not to apply the same standard here.
That you, Huma?
Cruz is a phony charlatan who is undermining Trump, ergo by default SUPPORTING HILLARY.
Now please click your ruby shoes three times and return back to Kansas.
No, he lost his job because the Marxist RINO wing of the KS GOP (along with their national allies) were desperate to take a scalp. They apparently also took close to a dozen others last night in the legislature. These were left-wing victories, not Conservative ones.
Our side lost.
Huelskamp voted for Ryan too. I sure hope he made that a prominent reelection campaign talking point. It no doubt occupies a bullet point all its own, in his resume of conservative victories.
Sure you do. You're on here advocating that we re-elect NO Republicans. If we do what you so foolishly suggest, we get Pelosi and Schumer, and Trump accomplishes NOTHING. Is that what you want? It's what you urging people to vote for.
Marco Rubio gets a 77% rating at Conservative Review. For what that may be worth to you. I know what it's worth to me. I'd seriously support his PRIMARY election opponent. If that didn't work, I'd probably vote for him in the General Election. The Democrat is guaranteed to be worse.
Now, you tell me: How the heck do you expect any conservative or constitutionalist Senator to accomplish anything with 0bama's butt-boy McConnell in charge? Hmmm? Did that even occur to you? No? didn't think so.
Go ahead ... keep trying to saddle Trump with a Democrat supermajority in the Congress. Keep supporting Schumer and Pelosi. I think it's pretty clear, now, exactly what you are.
It’s very hard for me to see Republicans as “our side”.
In fact, at this point, it has become impossible.
Quite frankly, if incumbents are being voted out, I’m thrilled.
And if that means their challengers lose in the general, oh well.
GOP’s got some serious learnin’ to do.
Whatever happens is going to happen.
I don’t have Cruz on the brain at all. He’s irrelevant. You’re still obsessing over him. Seems like a personal problem.
Every time a neverTrumper goes down it helps Trump vastly. It sends a message to the rest of the saboteurs: the voters see your backstabbing perfidy, and we don’t like it.
I didn’t say “Republicans.” Marshall is a “Republican.” The leftist primary challengers that won yesterday in Kansas are “Republicans.” I’m talking about Conservatives. I am not a Republican, I’m a Conservative. I don’t support Republicans because they’re Republicans. Defeating Huelskamp for Marshall was a victory for “Republicans”, it was a defeat for “Conservatives.”
So you 100% support an open-borders left winger (Marshall) who OPPOSES the Trump agenda of securing our borders ? How does that help Trump ?
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.
My examination and psychological assessment of you is complete; It's called cognitive dissonance. Sorry your princess was exposed and lost his glass slipper, but he's proven to be a Great Pretender.
If Cruz couldn't let go of the primary battle dust-up; couldn't endorse Trump during his BS ME-ME rant at the RNC Convention; Can't stop his pathological lying and masquerading as a "conservative" who endorses Hillary by inference ("vote your conscience"), he's truly and sadly delusional, not honorable, not a leader, and intellectually and spiritually dishonest.
Bol!
Btw, who’s the woman on the left? She looks nothing like the stretched, botoxed, pancake-made-up woman nominated at the DNC convention. Is she Hillary’s older sister?
Oh wait, never mind
It’s the same strange, manic smile. It’s merely another of the many iterations Mrs. Bill has adopted.
I am going to support Rubio’s opponent in the primary, and I won’t be voting for Rubio in the general.
I don’t vote for known liars.
A person who seeks to represent me gets exactly one chance to lie to me. He blew his chance, more than once.
Too bad, so sad. Bye, Marco.
You might vote for him in the general, but that’s you, not me.
And I have only said what I intend to do with my vote.
You spend yours anyway you want, I couldn’t care less.
I’m not a GOP fanboi, in fact, I hate them. They disgust me.
I am as loyal to the GOP as the GOP is to me, and that is not at all.
So is there a chance that the GOP will lose both house in November?
Yep. probably a pretty damn good chance.
Just goes to show that you better do what you can while you can, because you might be gone real damn soon. Right, Tim? Yep.
