SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — US Senator John Thune has also secured the Republican Primary spot for US Senator on the November ballot in the general election.

The Associated Press called the race just about an hour after results came in.

Thune held off Bruce Whalen and Mark Mowry for the Republican spot.

RINOs are hard to get rid of.

NO.

I checked and it looks as she is a plain vanilla U.S. American, meaning nothing in any way exotic, nada/negatory/nuthin’, whether in terms of the circumstances of her birth, or in terms of the condition of her parents at the time of her birth.

LAL, do you concur?

[Dr. Franklin]

RINOs are hard to get rid of.

If MAGA votes en masse for the same third party or independent, the RINOs will lose. Thune and his ilk need to be lustrated from the Republican Party, if for no other reason other than to make examples out of them. Otherwise, there will be no change other than that of the party label on the uniparty.

Here in California with an open primary…all these f’ers are about the same! We have lost our voting rights. No neighborhood voting place, just your community place. Voting for days on end before election day and mail in ballots. Complete and utter FRAUD!

Did TWO republican challengers split the anti-Thune vote?

[Coronal]

Any splitting of any anti-Thune vote would have had no impact, as he got 73% of the total votes.

Now they can buddy up with oz and do fun things like ban travel, mandate masks, something bigger than a bumpstock ban.

Mitch McConnell appointed not elected.

In the dictionary under “Swamp Dweller” is his picture.

[Article10]

Yup, same here in NH. Democrats and Republicant party collude to ensure that the conservatives always lose.

Funny NY State of all places has a closed primary if I remember correctly.

[mewzilla]

Yes, it does. But NYC now has RCV to get around that problem.

[nickcarraway]

So is Romney.

barf.

Noem Got a bad rap because she didn’t like an early draft of a transgender law. She got the law corrected and has since signed it. I think she’s a credible VP candidate in 2024

NO! She’s deep state just like DeSantis! /s

Look around Free Republic. We have RINOs and Free Traitors™ all over this place.

[central_va]

Back to the GOPe's Managed Decline™ of America.

Primaries, regulated by the state, have become the method to ensure the supremacy of the Uniparty/duopoly. California's "jungle primary" is a prime example of this. I much prefer the European model of multiparty elections, with a runoff if no candidate gets over 50% of the vote. Not enough people vote in the primaries, so that is a poor substitute for a runoff.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yep.
