Walker, who previously served as the No. 4 House Republican, has pinned blame on Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows, a former congressman from North Carolina, saying that a year-old disagreement between Meadows and himself had factored into the endorsement.

“My first thought — it was that Mark Meadows had orchestrated this whole event,” Walker told the USA Today Network over the weekend. He said that his endorsement last year of Rep. Madison Cawthorn over a Meadows family friend in the House race for North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District had caused “friction” with Trump’s former chief of staff.

Bush League Republicans wanted another Amnesty Senator like Tillis.

The strategist argued that Budd’s decision in December to join an amicus brief supporting a lawsuit challenging the results of the November presidential election in four states, as well as his vote against certifying President Biden’s Electoral College victory, pose a liability for Republicans’

What kind of a GOOFY STRATEGIST is this????

Budd’s actions after the election would HELP HIM IN THE RACE.

What a crackpot...no wonder Republicans have problems. Whoever this guy is...GET RID OF HIM/HER.

Once Budd wins the Primary they should get out of the way. If Budd wins, they need to support him going forward.

Doesn't matter anymore what RINOs do. After the 2020 Steal, the republican voter is perfectly aware of who the traitors in the GOP are, and that scum can support whoever they want -- it will have no effect. RNC money can back the swamp -- it won't matter. (And RNC fundraising is non-existent since the Steal).

A tidal wave is coming for the RINOs in the 2022 primary season, and every 2020 Trump voter will turn out in the general to support MAGA candidates. RINOs sitting out the general will have no effect because the voters are overwhelmingly pro-Trump. Just because nearly half of the republicans currently in office are RINOs is no reflection on the RINO make-up of the rank-and-file voter.

These are the same experts who said Trump had zero chance of winning.

I am a party official in Prince George’s County Maryland and have more than once firmly told a candidate that he has no “right” to a nomination.

Walker was the number 4 House Republican under who? Boehner? Ryan? And it was Meadows who removed Boehner. Looks like Trump made the right choice. His endorsement of Budd has them pissed and flummoxed like nothing else. Good sign.

Partner, this is the best news I have heard so far today.

I can not believe that these two (2) were Speakers of the People's House.

I did not like that Boeher and Ryan and I still do not like them one bit. They are the Rinos that we need to ship off to Antartica.

That is pure BS .Everyone Knows the election was stolen and whomever is on that side , is on the right side. The hell with those RINO Bastards ! The General election will prove that right straight out, if they can fix the fraud.

Partner, you are so right in your evaluation!
