Trump’s former chief of staff says he would not support him in a Republican primary

Mick Mulvaney, the White House chief of staff under former President Trump, appeared Wednesday on CNN Tonight and spoke about his old boss possibly making another run at the presidency in 2024. Mulvaney made headlines recently for being one of the few Republicans urging others to pay attention to the Jan. 6 Committee hearings, and has said they could mean trouble for the ex-president.

“What you’re seeing, I think, is folks, especially in my party, are looking at Donald Trump as damaged,” Mulvaney said, “and something that might weigh down the party going into the midterms and into 2024.”

Though he didn’t say what he would do in a national election, Mulvaney admitted that he would not support the former president in a Republican primary.

Asked if he would vote for Trump in a Republican primary, Mulaney responded, “In a primary? No. Keep in mind I got a lot of friends who are running. I’m not going to tell you who I would vote for, but there’s a lot of folks who I think would be a better candidate than Donald Trump in a Republican primary.”

Mulvaney declined to say who his preferred candidate might be, but listed several prominent Republicans who he believes are better suited for the job of president.

“I served in the state legislature with Tim Scott. Ron DeSantis and I played on the congressional baseball team together. Nikki Haley was my governor. Mike Pompeo and I served in the cabinet together. These are all my friends,” Mulvaney said. “Mike Pence and I go back 12 years. So, no, I don’t have a favorite dog in the fight, I just think that it would be healthy for the party to have really good candidates run against Trump in 2024.”

If Trump is damaged, it’s because a gang of thugs did it to him.

Trump played the game straight up by the rules. He got the 76 million votes he was told were needed to win, in the states where they had to be.

His response to The Steal was not only warranted, it was less then it should have been. As always, he plays the game hard but not by flaunting the rules.

So Mulvaney is full of s**t. He’s peddling the J6 Inquisition line.

Mulvaney admitted that he would not support the former president in a Republican primary.

Well the primary will be a formal proceeding and Trump will crush any opponents FOOLISH enough to run so who cares?

Mick Mulvaney @MickMulvaney

A stunning 2 hours:

1)Trump knew the protesters had guns
2)He assaulted his own security team
3)There may be a line from ProudBoys to the WH
4)Top aides asked for pardons
5)The commission thinks they have evidence of witness tampering.

That is a very, very bad day for Trump.

I hate to say it, but hiring Mulvaney was just one of many deep state mistakes that Trump made. Mulvaney was never truly America First. I hope Trump does a better job selecting people in his next term as President.

Mulvaney is up here in my part of the state, the world famous Indian Land, SC.

You have DAs around the nation blatantly ignoring the law and freeing murderers but Trump is the problem?
You have a demented President in office who’s started a war with Russia and is selling out our oil reserves to China but Trump is the problem?
You have food shortages and energy shortages and all the Democrats care about is enforcing Marxist race theory but Trump is the problem?

It’s time to clean house.

Makes sense. He didn’t support him during his time as Chief of Staff so why start now?

It’s easier to make a list of Trump’s political friends in the Republican Party than his enemies.

Money paid, and more money paid and they will pay anything and everything at this point to destroy America and Americans. According to democrats, rinos and the lamestream media …. America has to be destroyed to save their desires for destruction of Americans. No price is too high ….. per the enemies of America and Americans

My guess is that the overwhelming majority of Republican voters have no idea who Mick Mulvaney is, and don’t care what he has to say about anything.

Trump should have picked his cabinet and advisors by throwing darts at the phone book. He could not have done worse.
