Nine of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol are already facing primary challenges – and some of them may have a very hard time holding on to their seats.

Trump vows to work against those Republicans as they run for reelection in 2022, and has already endorsed one primary challenger and signaled there are more to come.

“Instead of attacking me and, more importantly, the voters of our movement, top establishment Republicans in Washington should be spending their energy in opposing Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and the Democrats,” Trump said in his February CPAC speech.

“Get rid of them all,” he said of the Republicans who voted to impeach him.

Here’s a breakdown of the developing primary challenges.

Don’t dilute the vote! Trump must pick one top candidate in each race and make it known. Others should drop out.

That said, it’s encouraging that so many are willing to get involved. Says a lot about the actual mood of the country.

the GOP was going to allow execution of conservative
by guillotines that Corney had TESTED for years
since Obama accelerated what GBush began.

the GOP is more evil than imagined, and should
spend the last of their energy running from the
Americans they planned to murder, to then eat and
rape their children.

More evil than ever imagined.

Just make sure that it is one challenger against each Senator. Do not allow multiple challengers to split the vote in their favor. Do that and maybe we can get ALL of them out.

Add to those GOPs the ones who voted on 1/6/21 to certify the fraudulent election.

Well, yes, but now is too soon. Remember the Tea Party candidates, where we found a bunch of newcomers that were ‘not yet ready for prime time’? We want them to sort themselves out a bit over the next 6 months or so.
