Trump needs to put Trump Org. private eyes on every Republican Senator. Go nuclear “Senator Geary” on their corrupt asses.

John Thune (R-SD) won his 2022 Republican primary election with 72.2 percent of the votes. His closest rival only received 20.3 percent of the vote.

He won the general with 69.6 percent of the vote.

The ‘Lesser of Two Evils’ crowd will ensure that he wins.
