Former President Trump on Tuesday announced his endorsement of Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin (R) in the state’s gubernatorial race against current Gov. Brad Little (R).

“Lt. Governor Janice McGeachin has been a true supporter of MAGA since the very beginning,” Trump said in his statement on Tuesday. “She is brave and not afraid to stand up for the issues that matter most to the people of Idaho, a beautiful State that I won by 30.8%.”

Trump said he is supporting McGeachin due to her stance on election integrity, the Second Amendment, American manufacturing, school choice and her support of farmers in the state.

The incumbent’s refusal to oppose mask mandates is reason alone to challenge him.

My fault. I emailed Trump just yesterday asking for the endorsement. Really! :-)

Now if he would only stop endorsing Bush League Republican Senators.

Grassley voted for the Trojan horse infrastructure bill, as did ND Amnesty Senator Hoeven and ID Senator Crapo.

In fact the only GOP Senators worthy of re-election are Kennedy, Johnson and Rand Paul.

The rest should all have primary challengers.

Idaho. In house fights won’t hurt. Wikipedia has her down as far-right. She’s easier on the eyes-those things count. I kinda think she should take on Crapo for the Senate. He’s getting too squishy.

Yep, ID has been infiltrated by the far left.

The Guv continues to compromise with the devil.

It’s disturbing that Trump leaves out vaccine mandates, masks, etc, the most immediate pressing issue of our time. He better get a grip on the fact that he screwed up and find candidates to help us get out of it and lead in that direction right now.

Guess we’ll see how “irrelevant” Trump actually is...

GOPe/Uniparty keep pushing he’s losing his grip....because they want you to believe it....

However, most know that’s not true...

VA Rural folks didn’t turn out in droves because Youngkin played nice with the suburbs.. as much as the fools in the uniparty want to believe it.

And lets not even get into what happened in NJ

I would too, but he’s not up in 2022.

these guys are:

Roy Blunt (Missouri) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Boozman (Arkansas)
Richard Burr (North Carolina) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Mike Crapo (Idaho)
Chuck Grassley (Iowa)
John Hoeven (North Dakota)
Ron Johnson (Wisconsin)
John Kennedy (Louisiana)
James Lankford (Oklahoma)
Mike Lee (Utah)
Jerry Moran (Kansas)
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
Rand Paul (Kentucky)
Rob Portman (Ohio) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Marco Rubio (Florida)
Tim Scott (South Carolina)
Richard Shelby (Alabama) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Thune (South Dakota)
Patrick Toomey (Pennsylvania) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Todd Young (Indiana)

Of this group only Johnson, Paul and Kennedy should be re-elected, all the rest need to be replaced.

Trump backed DeSantis when he ran against the Republican Establishment choice... it’s worked out well for Florida.

So, I went over to REDDIT to see what you were talking about. You are correct.

But, I do have a question.....Can anyone point to a time when the folks on the Right changed/manipulated their party affiliation to effect the outcome of an election?

Reading the REDDIT thread, it’s a lot of libs and Bernie-folks talking about switching their party affiliation just so they can vote in the Republican Primary to keep McGeachin from beating Little.

I have a friend that lives in Idaho. Like so many other states, with the liberal invasion, it’s creeping toward becoming a state where a few “urban areas”(if that can even apply in Idaho), with an increasing Left-wing population, will start to control so many things.

And the real folks of Idaho ain’t too happy. Unfortunately, the rising costs(for no explainable or justifiable reason) of living in places like Boise are forcing many out....property taxes and the costs of running a government, especially when affluent Liberals show up...allowing the Liberal Locusts to start their destruction of yet another great place. And of course, toss in the indoctrinated college kids to add a bit more fuel to the fire.

And for any on here that want to argue that it ISN’T Californians that are ruining the place, I’ll listen to a local realtor helping the invasion....

10. Boise, Idaho
A pressure cooker housing market
Forecast home price change by May 2022: 23.3%

Local professional: Suzi Boyle, loan specialist and branch manager at Castle & Cooke Mortgage

What makes the Boise market poised for growth?
“We’ve had this kind of crazy market since 2016 but it didn’t get national attention. A healthy real estate market has four-to-six months of inventory. We haven’t had four months of inventory since 2014. I have 72 pre-approved ready-to-go buyers that have been trying all year to find a home. There’s no supply, unless you’re willing to wait eight months for a custom build job. It’s become a pressure cooker market, because it’s 35% cash buyers.

“We do have a lot of tech people that commute to Silicon Valley, finance people that commute to LA and aerospace and biotech that commute to San Diego. In addition to all that, we have a lot of California retirees coming here. People like the climate, it’s a good place to raise kids, we have really low crime, we have 52 wineries in the Treasure Valley and everybody can afford to golf and ski here.”

I partially agree with you. The ONLY time PDJT should withhold his endorsement of a RINO/Bush League pubbie is during a Primary. Endorse the MAGA candidate during the primary and leave it at that.

Trump is smart enough to know that in a General election, a RINO is preferable over a (D) because you still have the RINO vote on your agenda over 80% of the time. I'm not great at math but I'll take 80% of the time over 0% all day long. Plus, a Majority in either house COUNTS for a lot as we are finding out now.

I know we want to 'send a message' that it is not OK to oppose the MAGA agenda, BUT giving up the majority will not help turn the ship around. That is a longer process that needs to work its way from the grassroots up. In the meantime, do everything possible to keep the majority. I know it's frustrating to see RINO's turn their back on the MAGA agenda occasionally, but we have to take a longer view of this fight.

His endorsements before the primaries are making it much more difficult to replace the Assistant Democrats.

The only GOP Senators worthy of re-election this cycle are Johnson, Kennedy and Paul.

The rest need to be replaced BEFORE they assist the Democrats to a permanent majority.

Ha ha... I had no idea what she looked like so I went found pictures of her. She instantly reminded me of the lady governor of Montana in the Yellowstone series. If you've watched that series, you know how she "gets things done"... lol.
