Although some races are still being counted following Michigan's Republican primary Tuesday, it became clear the next day that former President Donald Trump had a big night in the Water Wonderland.
Along with Trump-endorsed TV commentator Tudor Dixon sweeping the GOP primary for governor, Trump was, according to Bill Ballenger of the online Ballenger Report on Michigan politics, "6-0 in congressional endorsements."
Rep. Bill Huizenga and five non-incumbent U.S. House candidates endorsed by Trump all emerged triumphant in the Tuesday primaries.
The most-watched "scalp on the wall" for Trump was that of freshman Rep. Peter Meijer, who lost renomination in the 3rd District (Grand Rapids) to onetime Trump administration official John Gibbs. Meijer was the sixth of ten House Republicans to have voted for Trump's impeachment to be leaving Congress this year.
Ballenger also pointed out that "four state legislators went down to candidates endorsed by Trump. He even knocked off an incumbent Republican state senator—the first time this has happened since 1986."
He was referring to the heated race in the 17th District (Branch County), in which U.S. Army Special Forces veteran Jonathan Lindsey defeated State Sen. Kim LaSata with 61%. Lindsey, the son-in-law of famed economist Arthur Laffer, had Trump's strong endorsement.
"Trump didn't win everything but he was responsible for the win of a lot of people here," Ballenger told Newsmax. "You can say he's the champ of the day."

This must be fake news!
Just last week the MSM announced that Trump was finished, among Republicans...
I was thinking today about how different things would be if Trump had not been cheated from office.
Virtually all of the dangers the world is facing can be traced right back to The Steal.
And on further reflection I realized that our complacency has allowed this to happen.. we all should have done better :-(
Now we have stood by while the world approaches a likely catastrophe that will result in the miserable death of a large chunk of humanity.
Only the children are blameless...
Saw her on Tucker Carlson last night - would be SWEET if she can take down ol' Doe Eyes.
Now they have to win in November.

Local rino radio talk show host said: “the future of the republican party is over with trump as the leader”.
This was 3-4 months ago. Wonder what he has to say today?
Agreed, how much more will we take. Not silent majority anymore
In addition, it is just now being announced that Lake is the winner in Uber Corrupt Establishment Republican state of Arizona. Apparently, the eyes upon their Establishment Machine were just too much for them to screw their voters again.
Yep, Winning in August means little if you lost in November.
I think Reagan lost twice before his overnight success.
True but then so did Biden.
Here’s hoping the red wave materializes.
Is Tudor a family name or something? Does she have a sibling named Plantagenet?
Not a common name here in the Colonies, but the Red Sox had a pitcher named John Tudor, so it’s not unheard of.
Assistant Democrats are saddened.
It’s 5:35 AM and I’m having my first cup of coffee. I read the title “Tramp, chump........”
