The GOP cavalry comes to the N.H. Senate primary, but is it too late?

WASHINGTON — If it’s Friday ... The world mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II. … President Biden travels to Ohio for the groundbreaking of a semiconductor factory. … Vice President Harris visits NASA’s Johnson Space Center. … Secretary of State Blinken meets with the NATO Secretary General. … The Democratic National Committee’s summer meetings continue in Maryland. … The abortion rights measure is back on the ballot in Michigan. … Democrats blast Senate candidate in South Carolina over white voter comments. … 57% say Biden hurt economy in new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.

But first: Don’t look now, but establishment Republicans are making a last-minute play in the final pivotal primary on the Senate map: New Hampshire.

Republican Gov. Chris Sununu finally waded into the race Thursday to endorse state Senate President Chuck Morse over retired Brigadier Gen. Don Bolduc. Calling Morse the “best candidate to” defeat Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan, Sununu touted Morse’s record in the Senate, adding: “The stakes in this election are too high.”

Those stakes are clear. Bolduc, who has led most public polling for much of the race despite lackluster fundraising, still falsely claims former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election, recently questioned whether the FBI should still existafter it searched Trump’s Mar-a-Lago as part of an investigation into the mishandling of classified documents and called Sununu a “communist sympathizer” whose family “supports terrorism.”

Put simply — Bolduc is not likely the kind of candidate who can keep a purple state like New Hampshire on the battlefield at a time where Republicans desperately need to be on offense, not defense. That’s why a new GOP group popped up with plans to spend $4.5 million boosting Morse (and why Democrats are spending millions to sink him).

The GOP cavalry is actually what I call assistant Democrats.

It was written by the deep state comms team with a bunch of “pick me!, pick me!”s catching the deep T-Shirts from the deep state T-Shirt cannon.

General Bolduc is 100% MAGA and therefore a threat to their democracy.

Republicans have a knack for snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Oh I see. Bolduc is a general so let's boost his RINO opposition by calling them the "cavalry".

Clever Chuck Tard.

Speaking of N.H. Yup. The gopE is repotedly spending $5 million to beat Karoline Leavitt who is running for a house seat:

Morse can win and is OK. Bolduc can't, so what he is doesn't matter.

Sadly, that is true, but I believe that it's because they are part of the system.

Will NH Republicans make the same mistake when they didn’t support Kelly Ayotte? 600 votes more and we wouldn’t have all this crap. Maybe a lot but not as much.

Karoline Leavitt was interviewed on TV this AM and was an impressive display of leadership and knowledge. She will be a candidate for President in 20 years. Hope she wins by a landslide.

Unfortunately there are a lot of RINOs and designated losers in the Republican party in New Hampshire. Senator Morse is a nice guy, but unlikely to take the steps needed to win in the general election. Kind of like our last Republican Senator, Kelly Ayotte, who could have won her seat and helped Donald Trump take the state. But she didn't, she took the designated loser position and lost.

Bolduc may have a tough fight in the general election, but he will try harder to win than Morse will. And that is important.

Matt Mowers has been putting out a lot of lies and misleading campaign materials about Karoline Leavitt. They both worked in the Trump White House, but Matt must have missed the meeting where Republicans and conservatives learned to work together and not make Democrat style false attacks on fellow conservatives.

Get out to vote on Tuesday, and bring like minded friends. Any citizen entitled to vote in New Hampshire can register to vote at the polling place in the town or ward where they live on election day. Independent, or undeclared voters can take a Republican ballot and vote in the Republican primary.

All Kelly had to do to win her seat and help her own party's presidential candidate was not take the fake news bait from the Democrats. She didn't. Instead she jumped on the fake news about what Trump said to some guys about how some women were, to put it politely, willing to put out for rich and famous men.

If Kelly had just kept her mouth shut on that topic alone she would have won re-election.

Don't blame the voters for the mistakes of RINOs. They choose to lose.

Notice how the MSM is now backing the GOP-e....
Until the general and then they will attack them.

Saw Leavitt on Tucker last night. She appears to be pretty savvy. But since I don’t live there..............
