Tom Coburn endorsed him.

I wasn’t impressed with the other two. Rokita has a 65% Conservative Review rating. Messer is at 58%.

Otherwise, I don’t know.

He voted as a Democrat until 2012. He has the least conservative rating of the 3.

Rokita has the most conservative voting record hands down

Friend of mine’s husband is running in District 1. David Dopp for House of Representatives. I hope he wins, he’s very much a conservative.

From what I understand of him, No. But the same case could be made for the other two.

He was a RAT. Tells you how bad Messer and Rokita are. Messer and Rokita both have been against Trump until now. That ruined their chances.

I bet the turnout was low because we hated all of them.

I watched the full WV debate and I thought Blankenship was the best candidate. He answered the questions honestly with no bull, which is why he had a late surge.

People are SICK of normal political fake-talk.

As to Indiana, both Rokita and Messer are in the 50’s or 60’s in conservative rankings. They’re lackluster yes-men, which is probably why Braun is leading.

The main reason they are screwing up in Indiana is that they had a very nasty 3 way primary and ate up their campaign funding reserves.

Bruan is the most Trump like. Business background. Self funded his campaign. Ran as an unabashed political ally of the Trump. However has a political background as an Indiana state legislator while Trump had no political office experience. .

You are not even close to right

Braun is very Trump like in his business background but also has Indiana Legislative experience.

Even the GOP E political commentators like Rove admit he is a very solid candidate with a very good chance to win in Nov

They are not “screwing up” IN. That is just the idiot babble of the GOP-E Bush bots that thought Jeb was a good idea.

Braun is a very solid candidate. Even you god Karl Rove thinks so.
