Trump could shake up key Senate races with endorsements (oh no! says the Establishment)

Taking sides in North Carolina is a sign he could do so in other states

Former President Donald Trump’s recent endorsement in the North Carolina Senate race is the latest sign that he is looking to influence primaries in competitive states, in a shift from recent election cycles.

During the 2018 and 2020 elections, Trump often supported Republican incumbents and the eventual GOP nominees in open races. But he rarely took sides in Senate primaries in targeted states. If the North Carolina race is any indication, that’s starting to change as Trump looks to wield his influence over the GOP now that he is out of office and no longer tethered to the party infrastructure.

“He’s looking at a couple of the seats that are very much key to our comeback,” South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally who has discussed Senate races with the former president, said in a brief interview Wednesday. Graham noted Trump could back Herschel Walker if the former football player decides to run for Senate in Georgia.

Trump has to stop endorsing Amnesty Senators like Micro Rubio.

Amnesty is the opposite of MAGA.

Doesn't matter who Trump endorses. After the 2020 Steal, the voters know who the RINOs and MAGA patriots are, and we're coming for the RINOs. We love Trump, but will elect more like Madison Cawthorn.

If we get enough MAGA patriots in the state legislatures in the 2022 election, the Dems won't be able to steal the 2024 election.

Make no mistake: Biden is not president because of Democrats cheating! Biden is president because RINO-controlled state legislatures handed it to him on a platter by refusing to enforce voter ID and failing to investigate credible claims of mass-photocopied cheat-by-mail-in ballots that had no creases.

McCory is just another Butt. He lost to Cooper and will again if he runs. We have kept the GOP in charge of the State legislatures but dumped McCory. That should tell him something.

I got some emails from a group called NRSC. I think they are owned by Mitch McConnell. They were using Trump’s new website as a hook to get donations. I clicked the unsubscribe link.

Trump won North Carolina by just 1 point last fall and Florida by 3 points. Joe Biden carried stole the six other Senate battlegrounds — Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and New Hampshire.

Marco Rubio is a great senator. I forgave him for amnesty. He is better then the moron who thinks she’ll beat Rubio. I doubt Rubio will be primaried in 22...

Whenever I got email from the RNC after the 2020 election, I would hit "unsubscribe" and it did not work. So after more emails begging for money, I clicked the reply button and went off on a screed about how we have RINO-controlled state legislatures to thank for Biden being president, and how I will crawl through glass in the 2022 primaries to purge every last RINO who must face the voters, and how the RNC will never get another penny from me.

This worked. It took about three emails of me replying in the same manner, and they remove me themselves from their mailing list. Haven't gotten anything in months. I also found it very satisfying that someone obviously was reading my emails to make the decision to remove me from their list.

I made a few donations to Mr. Trump through”https://winred.com” (WinRed) and for well over a year I get anywhere from 10 to 20 email a day asking for money. The return email address is “@pelosi4never.com” or “kamala4never.com”.

Hitting the unsubscribe link always times out. So I have to mark them all junk and that group will never, ever see another farthing from me.

If I could get a phone number I would call and raise holy hell with some poor schlump making minimum wage to answer their calls.

Just one more reason to despise the GOP.
