The 2022 primary season is nearly over, but already one thing is clear: former President Donald Trump won.

Candidates who support Trump’s false claim of widespread fraud in the 2020 election have won big in key swing states, and candidates he backed to challenge the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach him following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol have been mostly successful.

“This was a referendum on the never ending Witch Hunt,” Trump wrote in a post on his social network Tuesday after his endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman beat out Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who voted for impeachment. “The people have spoken!”

Trump began endorsing candidates last year at a more aggressive pace than he did in the previous campaign. He’s backed 235 candidates for the 2022 midterm compared with 183 in 2020, according to Ballotpedia.

There was a lot of manufactured talk about Trump losing his endorsement mojo after they "arranged" the Trump losses in Georgia.

But they can't deny the results now.

[Steely Tom]

They have to indict him.

Who knows what they end up doing to Trump? That’s between the dems, Trump’s lawyers and God.

But they still have to deal with us.

My brakes locked up on the first sentence of the second paragraph. The first thing that will have to be done is a Federal examination of the vote thefts once and for all, and an examination of all the judges that blocked all the court cases.

May as well rename it. It’s the Trump party now. Either you get in line, or you get out. People laughed when he said that he alone can fix it. Well, he was right.

The author.

“. . . Trump’s false claim . . .” = whistling past the graveyard. They know the fraud, endorse the fraud, hide the fraud, and live the fraud.

[Billthedrill]

Candidates who support Trump’s false claim of widespread fraud in the 2020 election...

No bias there. The author is trying to avoid the truth - the people who lost were all supporting the steal.

WHO is this & where is he from????

[wjcsux]

He’s really butthurt.

Like I said, he’s the article author, D. Hunter Schwarz.

[Steely Tom]

But they still have to deal with us.

They have Dominion and Dibold to deal with us.

It is time for the Democrats to throw one of their over the top funerals that lasts a week.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I can’t wait to vote for Matt Gaetz in next week’s primary and help complete Trump’s set.*

*Dunno if Trump explicitly endorsed Gaetz, but I believe he’s pro-Trump.

[Steely Tom]

Like I said, he’s the article author, D. Hunter Schwarz.

Can't help but read that as Schwartz D. Hunter.

I think they were desperately holding onto hope that the steal would save them. That's not how it works. The voting machines, mules, dead voters and fake ballot dumps happen to some degree in all elections, but they're only decisive when Trump or his candidates lose.

[TigersEye]

They have to indict him.

And double his endorsement power.

[Steely Tom]

And double his endorsement power.

At his arraignment, they'll have the judge put a gag order on him.
