ENDORSEMENTS ROLL IN: GOP Lawmakers Line Up Behind Trump, ‘Only He Can Stop This Swamp’
Republic Brief ^ | 12/04/2022 | Jeff Miller

As Donald Trump prepares for his next run for the White House in 2024, he has already received endorsements. The former president is getting support from Republican lawmakers.

November 15 was the day Trump announced he was running for reelection.

“In order to make America great and glorious again, I am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the United States,” he said at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida estate where he will base his campaign.

“America’s comeback starts right now,” Trump declared, proclaiming, “Your country is being destroyed before your eyes.”

“Under our leadership, we were a great and glorious nation — something you haven’t heard for quite a long period of time,” he added. “Now we are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation. For millions of Americans, the past two years under Joe Biden have been a time of pain, hardship and despair.”

“House GOP Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik has endorsed Trump for president, referring to him as the “leader” of the GOP,” Just the News reported.

Republican Reps. Mary Miller of Illinois, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Troy Nehls of Texas, Ronny Jackson of Texas, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Clay Higgins of Louisiana, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller and GOP Rep.-elect Wesley Hunt of Texas have also endorsed Trump.

“Our country is in a rapid decline thanks to Joe Biden and the Democrat Party,” Hunt said on social media.

Representative-elect Max Miller of Ohio announced he supports Donald Trump for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024.

“I wouldn’t be here without his support, and President Trump will always have my support,” he declared.

“Eli Crane of Arizona is another incoming freshman member of the House who is supporting Trump for president,” JtN continued.

While U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama released a statement in support of Trump’s 2024 run, Texas Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn haven’t publicly endorsed Trump. Cornyn told reporters he will “support the nominee of the Republican Party, but I think there’s likely to be a competitive primary election.”

The former president has some early supporters in Hollywood as well.

Actor Jon Voight, a strong supporter of Trump’s in 2016 and 2020, is supporting his bid for a second term in 2024. Trump awarded Voight the National Medal of Arts at the White House in November 2019.

“Let us pray that the one president who understood truths and had the best interests of the American people, the American dream, President Donald Trump, will return to the presidency,” Voight said in a video. “He and only he can stop this swamp. Allow President Trump to rebuild our soil and our land so we can rise to our glory.”

Several actors have endorsed Trump, including Robert Davi, Antonio Sabato Jr., and Randy Quaid.

“Listening to Donald Trump made me feel the greatest days of America could be ahead of us,” Davi remarked. “Donald Trump has the balls, common sense, and know-how to lift America out of the destructive path it is currently facing. He communicates plainly to the American people with bold clarity.”

There have been other celebrity critics of Trump’s third presidential run, including Elijah Wood, Mark Hamill, and Mark Ruffalo.

A longtime critic of Trump, Ruffalo argued that Trump has “done nothing for working class people or America except to take the GOP down.”

Trump’s announcement regarding 2024 prompted Johnny Damon, a former MLB player to endorse him on social media. Damon played MLB from 1995 to 2012 and was on the Kansas City Royals, Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Indians teams over that time period.

There is one name that has risen to the top of Trump’s list of potential running mates.

Trump is seriously considering Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene, according to New York Times Magazine correspondent Robert Draper.

As Draper explained to The Daily Beast’s “New Abnormal” podcast “that Greene had risen quickly in her first term in Congress by using the same tactics she honed as a right-wing social media influencer harassing Democratic staffers, and she could shoot to the second-highest office in government,” according to Raw Story.

“Republicans kind of wanted to kick her to the curb immediately,” Draper said. “But instead, she became a fundraising dynamo, came to have this huge social media influence, and ultimately came to be very influential within the party itself.”

In addition, Draper noted that Trump has been seriously considering Greene as a potential vice president since February. According to the report, Greene has another quality that may boost her to the top even though he has undoubtedly evaluated others as well.

“She has been unflaggingly loyal to Trump throughout,” Draper explained. “What is Trump concerned about most of all in a VP after the Mike Pence experience? Loyalty. He knows that if he needs someone to fight for him to overturn a presidential election. He has every reason to expect that Greene would be by his side and would be his proximate warrior.”

"‘Only He Can Stop This Swamp’"

Ain't that the absolute truth...

That is, also, the reason that our communist rulers will have him in jail before the election...
It will be a joint effort between the communists and the GOP globalist elites...

“ If Donald Trump returns to the White House in 2024..”

Unless something drastically changes with the way elections are conducted, no Republican is ever returning to the White House, ever.

Where are The Conservative Republicans on the ongoing problem of voter fraud? Why aren’t they doing anything about it? Don’t they understand that The GOP, Conservatism, Capitalism, and The U.S. as a country are all dead, without ending Leftist Cheating, once and for all? The MSM, and all of their allies, continue to pretend that Leftist Cheating doesn’t exist. Ditto, way too many on the GOP side, too! Nothing was done about the Leftist Cheating of November 2020, and, so far, nothing is done about The Leftist Cheating of November 2022! This is the most serious issue and the most damaging issue, right now! Socialism wins when nothing is actually done about this issue.

Donald Trump is the only one who has the horsepower, the driving reason and knowledge to take on the SWAMP. If there is anyone who deserves to reap the benefits of being right while others denied him, it is Trump. Let Trump be Trump!!!

We aren’t going anywhere, unless we can conquer voter fraud.

What can they do? How many court cases have there been since 2020 regarding election fraud? Something like 70? All tossed out, including many by Trump-appointed judges.

Republicans can do what they did in Virginia in 2021 and employ an army of volunteers to watch polling places like a hawk. It worked. Kept the fraud down and got Glenn Youngkin elected.

And it should be said every election we lose isn't necessarily because it was stolen. Sometimes our candidates are just lousy.

Don't worry. Democrats aren't going to put Trump in jail.

They want him on the top of the ticket.

Yes, President Trump is a wonderful weapon against the leftist world but if he is the only one, we need to recruit others. We need an army of Donald Trumps on our side.

We need Trump's leadership even if the path to the battlefront is not through the WH.

The country is at war and the enemy is smart enough to hide this fact from most Americans.

And for those who recognize the country is at war, the enemy is smart enough to blur his very existence and to obscure his actions.

So, after 6 years of fighting to stop Trump with lies, lawsuits, investigations, impeachments, and slander, you are willing to believe that the democRATS actually WANT Trump to run again?

LOL!

Absolutely.

After losing three elections in a row, the Democrats have no fear of Trump. And in particular, after this shambolic midterm debacle where nearly all of Trump’s hand-picked candidates were defeated in the swing states Trump needs to win, it’s become clear that Trump is a paper tiger who really only succeeds at getting Democrats elected, and that 2016 was a political aberration unlikely to be repeated.

The Democrats understand that Trump has no path to the White House. They’ll keep hammering away at him with lawsuits and investigations but they’re not going to do anything so drastic that he’d be forced to end his campaign.

“Trump is seriously considering Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene,”

I like her, but we need her where she is. There are better options for VP. I hope he chooses well this time — no more plastic white-haired AI treasonous bots.

“Unless something drastically changes with the way elections are conducted, no Republican is ever returning to the White House, ever.”

The guy who wrote “A Parallel Election” has pretty much proven that elections are just 100% placebos to make us feel good and virtuous about voting. Simultaneously, the Deep State is conducting their own “selection” to determine the “winner”.

Sometimes they are good people with no political experience trying to use their celebrity to run for top jobs too soon. Trump managed it because he is a billionaire - but he cannot necessarily be a prototype.
