Donald Trump Is Losing More Primary Races Than He'd Like You to Know​

The question of how much influence Donald Trump's influence continues to have for GOP voters continued in the wake of
the primaries in Nebraska and West Virginia, with the former president's endorsements having a mixed night.

Before the polls opened on Tuesday in both states, Trump had endorsed 55 candidates who all went on to win their respective
primaries or advance into a runoff—22 in Ohio and Indiana and 33 in Texas.

The run came to an end after Trump's pick in the GOP gubernatorial election in Nebraska, Charles Herbster, lost the election to
Jim Pillen, a University of Nebraska regent endorsed by outgoing term-limited Governor Pete Ricketts.

However, as noted by Politico, Trump may have also lost another election in Nebraska that night as Representative
Don Bacon managed to hold onto his seat after getting a resounding 77 percent of the votes on Tuesday.


In November 2021, Trump urged people to run against Bacon and 12 other Republicans who voted to approve
President Joe Biden's $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. Also on the list was Representative David McKinley, who lost the
GOP primary to Trump-endorsed Representative Alex Mooney in West Virginia's newly-formed 2nd Congressional District.

In a brief statement in January, Trump asked "Anyone want to run for Congress against Don Bacon in Nebraska?" At the time,
the congressman did not have any GOP challengers for the upcoming primary.

When Bacon did finally get a Republican opponent for the candidacy, Steve Kuehl, Trump did not fully endorse him,
fearful that the political newcomer would not stand a chance against the incumbent.

Trump did attack Bacon during a campaign rally he held in Nebraska last week. "I hope you vote like hell against that guy," he said.

Trump endorsing a candidate who was almost certain to lose could also leave a stain against his endorsements, which he
declared the "strongest" in U.S. political history.

The closest Trump came to showing support for Kuehl was during the last week's rally when the former president gave him
a shout-out from the stage.

"I think Steve will do well. Good luck, Steve, whoever the hell you are," Trump said.

Kuehl ended up with 23 percent of the votes on Tuesday or just over 14,000 votes.

Who ?

 

[Philthy_Phil]

Who ?

The "Where's the beef?" guy.

No, wait. He's the "you're fired" guy.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

He's running in how many?

Sounds illegal. Well, at least he's not a dead guy running.
That's how you know he's not a Democrat...

"A highly respected man just endorsed by me today. Future congressman for the 2nd District, Eli Crane," Trump said.

A thunderous chorus of boos swept the crowd in response. Taken aback and seemingly bewildered, Trump paused and then asked, "But you like me?"

Arizona, a once ruby-red state that appears to have turned purple in recent cycles, will serve as another test case for Trump's lingering clout within the GOP.

Other heavyweight Republicans have thrown their weight behind a rival of Lake for governor, including Gov. Doug Ducey (R-AZ) and his former Vice President Mike Pence, who attended a dueling event Friday in support of Karrin Taylor Robson for state governor.

Lake is controversial among some Republican circles for several reasons, including her insistence that election malfeasance deprived Trump of victory in 2020.

Once a longtime supporter of former president Donald Trump, the New York Post -- which endorsed him for his 2020 reelection -- is now condemning his inability to act during the January 6 attack. In a recent op-ed by the Rupert Murdoch-run tabloid's editorial board, the Post unequivocally called Trump out, something the former president may have least expected from the media outlet that seemingly had his back for years.

"As his followers stormed the Capitol, calling for his vice president to be hanged, President Donald Trump sat in his private dining room, watching TV, doing nothing," the editorial began. "And he was the only person who could stop what was happening. He was the only one the crowd was listening to. It was incitement by silence."

In a sharp turnaround from when the tabloid endorsed Trump in 2020 for reelection, the editorial concluded with the board writing, "It's up to the Justice Department to decide if this is a crime. But as a matter of principle, as a matter of character, Trump has proven himself unworthy to be this country's chief executive again."

this will hurt the magats' brains... if they believe an uphold the views the wapo's been pushing them, what will they do now it's turned on trump?

So far in 2022....137 wins 10 losses for a 93% win ratio! Your right I thought he was more in the 95-98%

That’s a tad depressing

There is something wrong with your numbers.....but then again you're just a Trump support. Never let facts get in your way....right?

Former President Donald J. Trump has endorsed more than 200 candidates across the country, many of whom ran unopposed or faced little-known, poorly funded opponents.

I heard a city Trump once almost thought about driving through 13 years ago was struck by a tornado. He's obviously responsible. We need to form a committee to investigate immediately. Who's going to pay for it? Hahahahahahahah that's a good one.

“@foxandfriends just really botched my poll numbers, no doubt on purpose,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, the social network platforming he started after leaving office. “That show has been terrible — gone to the ‘dark side.’ "

reps grousing, trump said to be fuming about dr oz's failing campaign

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...pc=U531&cvid=cd3b1fb42ee341e9acf2bcc4bcc77bf9

"If Oz wasn't mentally and physically on vacation, it might be an even fight," Keith Naughton, a Republican strategist turned cofounder of political consulting firm Silent Majority Strategies, told The Hill about the pivotal contest to replace retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey and possibly tip the balance of power in the 50-50 Senate. And embattled former President Donald Trump is fuming about Oz running "a terrible campaign," according to Radar Online.

Trump's going to have a boost here and there, but his overall trajectory down is moving on schedule.

Candidates endorsed by former President Donald J. Trump had another immaculate night in statewide and federal races Tuesday, just a day after the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided Mar-a-Lago. His endorsement record now stands at 192-11.

Businessman Tim Michels, who served as a U.S. Army ranger for 12 years, beat out his opponent, Rebecca Kleefisch, for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Wisconsin, Dave Wasserman of the Cook Report declared.

The sweeping victories make Trump’s endorsement record immaculate in 31 states.
