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.
“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!
