Prepare to vote!
Trump has made no endorsements in any of these primaries.
Don Bolduc is the conservative running for US Senate In New Hampshire against the moderate, Sununu-endorsed Chuck Morse
Also in New Hampshire, in the first congressional district, Karoline Leavitt is the conservative against Matt Mowers (former Chris Christie aide) and Gail Huff Brown (Scott Brown's wife)
Governor Sununu is also up for reelection but is likely to win
Weird that NH goes with the first primary date in presidentials, but the last in off years.
(The early one for cash and publicity, but the late one probably so the lefties can get all those college students voting the day of.)
So, Trump is done - as far as controlling Republican offerings.
How did he do? Is Congress a lost cause? Should Trump not bother to run again?
Perhaps Oz is good news. Pennsylvanian Conservatives don’t like him, but he might win and he’s not the eGOP quisling.
I think Trump did well, numbers-wise, but some of his endorsements are probably lost-causes against the Democrat. The eGOP machine under China-Mitch may still be trying to starve them out against the Democrat, as in Arizona.
I’m all set for tomorrow morning. After dropping my daughter off at school, it’s straight to the polls for me.
I’m in NH District 2.
Hope Karoline wins in NH; she has it all with the potential of a Presidential run in 20 years and winning.
“How did he do? Is Congress a lost cause? Should Trump not bother to run again?”
Trump did well in the primaries. 92% of his endorsements were nominated. There’s a caveat to that since a number were unopposed or were incumbents were were going to win anyway. But Trump is creating an endorsement record, to strike fear into the hearts of elected officials to veer off the conservative path (that is, they won’t get an endorsement again, and they WILL be replaced).
The Establishment wanted to prevent Trump from having such a record, but they only succeeded in Georgia, and were crowing about it for weeks (Trump is slipping, Trump is done, etc.).
We’ll see how many of Trump’s endorsements get elected in November (I’m predicting 85% or higher).
But overall, there will be A LOT of people in government positions come January that would not otherwise be in government positions because the Establishment would have preferred somebody else.
So we’re well on our way.
In governorships, if Lake and Mastriano and Lombardo and Dixon and Michels and LePage win it’ll be DefCon1 in the media and in Washington.
And in US Senate races, if Masters and Oz and Walker and Bolduc and Laxalt (and others) it’ll be even moreso.
And furthermore, other lower positions will be filled by new people, and legislative bodies, both large and small, will be remade.
After tomorrow, it’s on to November!
And a big number of Precinct captains and school board members...lot of angry parents throwing out entrenched bureaucrats.
For the general in November, we must now vote (R) regardless of whether the republican nominee is MAGA or not. If the Democrats win the Senate, they will pack SCOTUS and pass more devastating legislation for our country. We must turn out en-masse to vote (R) on election day. The ONE good thing the Turtle did for the country was to prevent Meritless Garland from being on SCOTUS when (R) had the majority in the Senate under OBozo.
Which is excellent news and a good start.
Persistence is key! No time to go home pat ourselves on the back and tell ourselves we’ve won the war. We have won the first battle maybe only the initial round of the first battle but not the war. Next election it’s time to send home more RINO time servers and leftists. The ones that survived this round. Then do it again and again! If the left is anything they are persistent we must be too.
Also, we must be vigilant in regard to our own who have been in office 10+ years. The 10+ year mark is about the time they start confusing the ‘political straphangers’ and ‘favor seekers’ with their constituents - the constituents, the ones who brought them to the ‘party’. This is particularly true if the office they are in gives them access to or the ability to influence the spending of taxpayer money. At that 10+ year mark is very likely time to send them home. Always look askance at the well sounding conservative who is making a career in politics. By just being a career politician, they already have at least a toe in the RINO camp. Since their next paycheck is contingent on the next election that siren call of listening to the ‘straphangers, etc.’ will be loud and strong.

“For the general in November, we must now vote (R) regardless of whether the republican nominee is MAGA or not.”
I agree wholeheartedly. The only place where I would possibly vote for a democrat or blank my ballot would be if I lived in Dan Newhouse’s district in Washington, just to get another of the Impeachment 10 out of office (I think David Valadao will likely also lose in CA).
But other than that, EVERY Republican right on down the line.
Thank you for the reply. I forgot Governorships.
The way I see it, Trump has to have support within certain key states to even get elected, assuming he is able to run. This is at least enough of those who cheated him out, last time plus those I am sure the Democrats have been adding. He has to overcome the loss of Georgia, which is hopeless.
Then, even if he wins he will face a repeat of his last term unless he has sufficient support in Congress. The only way that any repair approaching permanence might be accomplished will be with McCarthy gone and Mitch out on his Chinese-wife-ass.
Otherwise, it’s maybe just more Ju-Jitsu than last time. Still, I’d take the four better years.
