President Donald Trump wants his supporters to think beyond his endorsed candidates and imagine that he is on the ballot when they vote in this year’s midterm elections.
The president made his new pitch Friday night in South Carolina at a rally in support of Sen. Darline Graham, urging the crowd to back her in Tuesday’s Senate GOP runoff.
“The problem that we have is, they say that Trump does great when he’s on the ballot, but when he’s not on the ballot, his people don’t come and they don’t vote for senators, congressmen and other Republicans,” Trump said.
“So what I really want you to do is pretend, please, that I’m on the ballot. Just come and vote. It’s so important,” he said.
Trump suggested the MAGA faithful also take that approach in other elections, saying, “We have to get Darline and other people elected.”

That wasn’t his only message. He also reminded everyone what it was like under Biden, what it is like now and that the democrats are not bashful at all about wanting to return to the Biden years.
Daddy’s little TV princesses get upset when they can take angry shots at the President of the United States. Little boys are turning into little girls and little girls are turning into Hillary Clintoon style little princess biatches.
The second kind, much more rare, is the individual who just wanted to be left alone to pursue their own desires. They get into politics out of disgust with the way things have been going. They genuinely want to change things for the better. That is where Trump came from. He could have simply enjoyed his wealth and his family but his love of country compelled him to do something about what he saw as something terribly wrong.
Obviously the looters and liars despise someone who won't play their game, so here we are.
For most people I’d say things were actually better under Biden financially, as far as cost of living. Covid sucked under Biden, depending on what state you were in. Long-term war under Trump sucks. The border is better under Trump. There’s give and take each way. To be really objective about it, the present years under Trump are not necessarily better than under Biden.
Vote for Ralph Norman.
It’s a good thing he’s not running for reelection.
But, but, but ... the ‘press’ has been telling us for years that pollsters show MAGA is leaving Trump. Is it possible pollsters are bigger liars than their liberal leftwing crazy friends in the corrupt MSM?

It’s hard to be motivated by a race of a stupid woman and a Nikki Haley Republican from South Carolina.
We shall see in November but honestly his name on the ballot would mean me not voting for Republicans.
I will have to separate my GOP elected officials from him in order to vote for them.
Sign of the Times...
I had a big surprise yesterday. My neighbors who were MAGA told me yesterday that they are sick and tired of what Trump is doing....the wars....lies. They no longer trust or believe him. They told me this because they knew that I am no longer MAGA either. We are all so disappointed. How many others are doing the same?
So you all think the Democrats will do much better?
Biden was putting people in prison for praying and making memes. He was going after Christians. The only thing I’m upset with Trump is that he didn’t finish off Iran in the beginning.
“So you all think the Democrats will do much better?”

Nope, but I didn’t think I was voting simply for the lesser of two evils. I voted believing he would follow through with his campaign promises.
It’s a Uniparty. Clear to see now.
Right on, right on!!
My wife has jumped off the Trump Train, IMO in large part to her becoming a devotee of Candace Owens. I've listened to Candace a couple of times, and I don't consider her words entertaining or enlightening.
I've never been fully onboard the train, although I support in general the policies he's promoted. I take little of what he says as truthful, he engages too much in self promotion and puffery.
I'm no soothsayer, but I expect the last two years of the Trump Administration to be nothing but pure gridlock. And that may not be a bad thing. I'm looking forward to Senator Paxton, who will advance Texas' interests instead of the Swamp.
Paxton's support outside of blue cities is vast. He drew 700-800 supporters at his McKinney rally about two weeks ago, on a Wednesday afternoon, in 100+ degree temperatures. The closest parking I found was a quarter of a mile away.
Cornyn was too overconfident of winning, didn't fight hard enough for the SAVE Act. Of the eight family members who joined me in McKinney, none voted for Cornyn. Cementing that decision was his late arrival to the extension of the border wall in Big Bend. I don't think that extension was needed, Big Bend is not a popular entry point into the US.
“I’m looking forward to Senator Paxton, who will advance Texas’ interests”

I hope you are not disappointed if he gets elected. I can say looking back on who I voted for ..... not good. They know exactly what we want to hear when campaigning (which is not difficult to figure out)...but then do what they want once elected. They get the best job in the world, and we do not really know who these people are.
