NC’s Mark Walker at Mar-a-Lago discussing if Trump will endorse him to switch races

Former U.S. Rep. Mark Walker is currently at Mar-a-Lago with former President Donald Trump discussing Trump’s possible endorsement for a campaign to return to the House, said Jack Minor, Walker’s former chief of staff.

Walker has spent nearly two years campaigning for an open U.S. Senate seat, after Sen. Richard Burr announced his retirement.

But Trump endorsed Rep. Ted Budd for the seat, and Walker has trailed both Budd and former Gov. Pat McCrory in the polls. And some Budd supporters worry that if Walker stays in the race he could take votes from Budd, pushing McCrory ahead.

That has fueled speculation that Walker might switch to to run for House in the newly drawn 7th Congressional District. That only grew Friday when state Rep. Jon Hardister announced he would not run in the district and would run for reelection.

This is good news. It means a straight Budd/McCrory race.

”…if Trump will endorse him to switch races.”

Given the current demented state of the world, I honestly wasn’t sure what that meant.

It took me a second, but it is funny.

The GOPe is very well organized, unlike the conservative wing. They have one well funded hand picked candidate, while the conservatives usually have two or more less well funded candidates who split up both funding and the conservative vote. When one of the conservatives starts to fall behind the other conservatives, they usually don’t gracefully bow out and endorse the conservative who is in the lead. Instead they stay in until the end, for no apparent reason except maybe ego. This is why the GOP Senate leadership remains in the control of the RINO’s year after year. There’s a similar dynamic at work in the House.

The GOPe (Senatorial Committee) is still using Trump’s name for fund raising.

Got a call from them about sending money so they can stop liberals and work on Trumps plans.

What I said on the phone was not very nice.

The DNC is comprised of several power centers that co-exist.

The RNCe seems to co-exist well with the DNC and globalist’s.

The RNCe is holding onto power by aligning with Soros and the Globalist’s.

Trump Wing of the RNC is anti-globalism; is it possible to identify anti-globalism democrats - Manchin of WVA may be a candidate to co-op into a fraction leader of moderate American loving anti-globalist democrats.

It seems the Communist wing of the DNC is Globalism’s anti-USA leadership within the DNC - hence, we have the Squad members being touted in circles as the future of the DNC.

Maybe an Independent group can be carved out to support Americanism over Globalism to align with Manchin and Trump.

Biden is sinking the USA in order Re-Align the USA economically with the EU going back to 2016. It requires that the USA make every product such as food based on volume or weight at the same set packaging and prices as the EU. The same will be done for Gas, cars, etc. The problem for the EU (Kings and Queens & Royalty running the political parties in France, Netherlands, Spain, elsewhere) is that they are a pox on their countries leeching the lifeblood out of the surfs. The EU needs to figure out how to lower prices for products and support Socialism at the same time.

Trump needs to have his people make a master economic planning policy that shows reasonably how to lower EU Socialism’s costs to align with the USA’s lower prices. If Trump can get an economic policy program that the EU Elites will accept then resistance to an anti-globalist Trump led US can serve as the economic engine to transform their “serfdom” into nations that function more like the US. Tax policy doesn’t need/require 50% VAT to allow the elites and their people to live comfortably.

The only way Trump can get past the globalist Pelosi led politicians in the US to make economic sense to all parties and allowing ingenuity and energy to power the World - we can reasonably invest in Green while taking advantage of our present resources.

The Greens have not thought thru electric cars - imagine a hurricane evacuation in Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, or the Carolinas from the Coastal Highways and a the normal traffic volume’s make all the worst by battery ran vehicles that die in 2-3 hours.

Green is nice but it doesn’t have to force the USA to have EU energy prices in order to fund it.
