Canada was the country of choice for all of the liberals who said they were leaving the country if Donald Trump was elected president. They followed through on that as well as they did at their promise to stop using Twitter if Elon Musk purchased it. (How are things over there on Threads?) NBC News reports that critics of Trump fear retribution if he's re-elected. NBC News decided to do a dozen interviews with people who share this fear. For those who have criticized former President Trump, fears of retribution grow as he campaigns for re-election. Interviews with a dozen...

Donald Trump took another step towards a general election rematch with Joe Biden by decimating Nikki Haley in her home state in the South Carolina Republican primary. The result was called just seconds after polls closed in an embarrassing night for Haley who has vowed to stay in the race even as her path to the nomination rapidly closes. Trump declared his swift victory at his Election Day party held on the South Carolina State Fairgrounds in Columbia, saying with a smirk: 'This was a little sooner than we anticipated.' Trump's victory builds on the surging momentum he has built...

Now that state legislators have adjourned two months early for the year, the Michigan primary election will be held on February 27, 2024, putting the Republican primary in violation of Republican National Convention (RNC) rules so that Michigan delegates will no longer be counted towards the winner of the Republican National Convention. To stem a competition between states to move the primaries earlier and earlier, the RNC established a longstanding rule that only New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, and South Carolina can hold their primaries prior to March 1, as those states have done so for decades. The penalty set by...

Katie Phang for Komissar Of The Ministry Of Truth! On her MSNBC show on Sunday, Phang denounced Fox News for scheduling a town hall with Donald Trump. Whatever the liberal media might hate about Trump, he is currently the leading candidate—by far—for the Republican presidential nomination. Which makes what he has to say kinda, you know, newsworthy. Even more bizarrely, Phang was also furious at CNN for scheduling a town hall with . . . Mike Pence—the man who rejected Trump's demand that he refuse to certify the results of the 2020 election! Incredibly, beyond even that, it seems that...

[snip] Wilson began by attacking DeSantis's personality, claiming that he "doesn't like humans, has to pretend to be human." He insisted DeSantis has a "mean streak." Yes, Rick Wilson said that, without any introspection about his own behavior.In contrast, despite being sure to get on record that he dislikes everything about Trump, Wilson argued Trump does have "charisma" and "energy." In a particularly gruesome metaphor, Wilson then predicted that in a debate, Trump would "tear Ron DeSantis's head off and kick it around like a soccer ball."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Has Fernand Amandi been binge-watching Joe Scarborough? You have to wonder, given his attack vocabulary on Ron DeSantis on Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC Sunday Show this morning. Amandi—an MSNBC analyst and Florida-based Democrat consultant—borrowed one of Scarborough's signature moves: riding a favorite phrase into the ground. No fewer than four times, Amandi described DeSantis, with full stops between each word, as a "MAGA. Extremist. Bully."For good measure, Amandi employed another tired Scarborough trope: referring to DeSantis as a "fascist." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

So this happened… Michigan News Channel 3 published the results to the Republican primary election. RINO Tudor Dixon won!! AND … Trump hater Peter Meijer won his race too!! There’s just one thing… The Michigan Republican primary is not for another week— on August 2nd!!

This November, Pritzker will face his favored opponent, Bailey, in what will be a heavily contested race for the gubernatorial seat in the Prairie State.. On June 28, Illinois held its gubernatorial primary election, which featured several Republican candidates, including Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, State Senator Darren Bailey, and political outsider Jesse Sullivan. Irvin, a popular local official who happens to be black, had been the favorite among the GOP candidates. But a funny thing happened in the months leading up to the vote. When the ballots were tallied, Irvin ended up in third place, well behind Bailey and the...

Republican primary voters showed up in droves to take part in Tuesday’s contests, a good early sign for GOP hopes to regain the House and Senate this fall. As of midday Wednesday, Republican voters made up 54.9% of the turnout in Idaho, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon and Pennsylvania, according to data compiled by JMC Analytics & Polling.

Ada County Clerk Phil McGrane is currently leading his 3-way GOP primary by a small margin according to recent polls from a few weeks ago (60% of voters were still undecided). Election day is rapidly approaching in Idaho on May 17th. Idaho is a solidly red state. But like in other red states Democrats are working to put imposters in office who support a liberal agenda. Phil McGrane solicited, accepted, and now defends taking “Zuckerbucks” that were used to benefit Democrats and stop Trump in 2020. There were two documentaries recently that explain how Zuckerbucks helped Democrats steal the 2020...

The final phase of the Marjorie Taylor Greene inquisition came to an end this week. After Georgia Democrats spent weeks arguing that Greene needed to be removed from the primary ballot for “taking part in an insurrection,” Judge Charles Beaudrot announced that Greene remains eligible to appear on the ballot. That sent the decision to the Georgia Secretary of State. (Associated Press) A judge in Georgia on Friday found that U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene can run for reelection, rejecting arguments from a group of voters who had challenged her eligibility over allegations that she engaged in insurrection. But the...

Former Trump administration official Mick Mulvaney said that Joe Biden-backing Hollywood star and Black Lives Matter supporter Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could be one of former President Donald Trump’s serious Republican primary challengers in 2024. After being asked by Politico who could mount a serious challenge to Trump in the 2024 GOP primary, Mulvaney said, “It’s a short list,” but oddly included The Rock on that list. “[Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis could give him a run for his money. [South Carolina Sen.] Tim Scott can give him a run for his money. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson could give him a...

Republicans were absolutely fooled when Lindsey Graham used his Kavanaugh, pro-Trump, “give me money to fight for you” schtick to win re-election in 2020. Republicans need to remember who betrays them and act accordingly. Stop rewarding betrayal during primaries.— Prince of Doges 🇺🇸 (@princeofdoges) March 8, 2022Is there a "Brutus" out there who will primary Lindsey Graham?— Coop (@ClownPopper) March 4, 2022Lindsey “Sissy” Graham is a maggot. Any South Carolinian that votes for him is a moron. There are better Republicans out there. Primary this swamp sucker. https://t.co/PCrSOv8Brt— Jim Martin (@JimMart94591668) March 5, 2022Let’s not forgot that Lindsey Graham also...

Normally, when an incumbent who is popular with his party is running unopposed in a primary — or when the opponents are fairly marginal figures most voters have forgotten actually exist — there's very low turnout for the incumbent. That was not the case with Donald Trump last week, on Super Tuesday. He had a blowout primary, with people turning out in unexpected droves to vote for him. Trump voters knew that their vote wouldn't matter in terms of Trump gaining the delegates for their state. They turned out to make a point: Trump's voters are wildly enthusiastic. They don't...

Fifty-two percent of Republican voters in Alabama favor Tommy Tuberville, while 40% support former Senator and Attorney General Jeff Sessions in the GOP runoff election for the U.S. Senate, a new Cygnal poll reveals. Tuberville, the former head football coach at Auburn University, will face Sessions in the March 31 runoff.

Former Sen. Jeff Sessions and onetime Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville were neck and neck in the Republican primary race for the Senate on Tuesday night and likely headed for a runoff.

As is well known, Georgia senator Johnny Isakson resigned in December due to health issues. He never should have run for re-election in 2016, but that's another matter. He had three years left in his term, and Governor Brian Kemp solicited applications from Georgians to fill his seat for 2020. Kemp received hundreds of applications, one of which was from Representative Doug Collins, of my congressional district — the Georgia 9th. Collins was President Trump's choice to replace Isakson. The president reportedly asked Governor Kemp on several occasions to appoint Collins to the Senate, but Kemp bucked the president and...

On Thursday, however, the conservative Club for Growth released a poll that showed former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville surging into first place, getting the nod from 32% of those polled to top Mr. Sessions’ 29%. The Club for Growth has campaigned aggressively against contender Rep. Bradley Byrne.

Republican Congressman Doug Collins announced Wednesday a bid for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, teeing up a showdown with fellow GOP Senator Kelly Loeffler in the state's November special election. Collins, a staunch ally of President Trump, confirmed the Senate run in an interview with "Fox and Friends" and on Twitter, where he said he had for months "given serious deliberation to the role I should serve that would best benefit GA, the country and @realDonaldTrump." The top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee and a four-term congressman, Collins has emerged as one of the most vocal opponents of the...
