Or maybe, just maybe, they figured that . . . wait for it . . . Trump chose poorly.
Lesson: Trump should be smarter about his endorsements and advisors. Taking responsibility for your choices demonstrates character. Blaming the Club for Growth, and trashing the candidate you endorsed for running a weak campaign is childish.
The good news is that both candidates were ok, and it appears that the better one prevailed.
I get a bad feeling from the guy. I’ll bet in no time he will be hanging around with the RINOs.
Trump didn’t back Sessions, and what happened?
It’s not so much who President Trump SUPPORTS as it is who he DOESN’T SUPPORT.
What I’m wondering is, short of a Biden induced diversionary hot war caused by a cyber breach, who will be Vice-President when President Trump is soon sworn in via a Writ of Quo Warranto?
It better not be the Vice-Backstabber Judas Pence.

Familiarize yourselves with PCAP = Packet Capture. It’s going to be Frontpage news very soon.
The DNCMedia are absolutely giddy about this!
Trump just shrugs and says, “Hey, ya win some, ya lose some.”
What the DNCMedia doesn’t say, is another Republican—not democrat—is going to Washington.
She won my county (Navarro).
wishful thinking by lefturd loons
i’m guessin this: “... some Dems voted, and it’s likely that Ellzey fared better than Wright with this cohort.”
C’mon man, doesn’t the “widow” always win?
I stopped reading Powerline except for the “Week in Pictures” to escape the odious Never Trumper, Paul. Now he appears on FR. Giving wider exposure to people like Paul encourages them when they should be abandoned in their echo chambers.
The better headline was “GOP gains seat in U.S. House”. By my math its now 220 Dems and 212 Republican. So if the minority has party discipline, they only need to have four Dems vote present to block legislation. We can expect party loyalty from the GOP, right?
I am going to quote Steve Bannon after the May 1 primary in CD6. “The widow only got 19%. The rest of the Republicans together way out polled her. (15,000 for Wright 28,000 cumulative for the other GOP candidates) Sometimes he gets bad advice.” Bannon knew these numbers were trouble for her. Also all but one of the candidates were Trump supporters.
It was about the candidate herself. In the general Wright got 18k and Ellzey 20k. So the voters from the May 1 primary split their votes with the 10k going to Ellzey vs. 3k for Wright. In other words they didn’t vote for her the first time for a reason and didn’t choose her the second. The Club for Growth attacks on Ellzey didn’t help either. The Dem TDS votes might have given him a few hundred votes but not enough to swing the election.
When there is more than one Trump candidate in a primary Trump needs to stay neutral. In the May primary there were three former members of his Administration! Wright was not one of them!
How much fraud went undiscovered in that election?
In your dreams.
All politics are local.
A congressman’s wife is not necessarily the best qualified person.
I don’t know the race, so I can’t opine on the wife, but as a general rule sharing a marital bed does not give you some kind of hereditary title to the job. There are a lot of republicans who seem to secretly wish we had royalty.
Flame away, but Trump has a bigger record of picking and hiring losers than he has picking winners..
The idea that Trump has and had 100% endorsement success is a lie in it’s self!
