“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.
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.
