Remember what we have stated about “tremors” and “twitches” that get overlooked by most media?  Yeah, well…

update-1UPDATE 11:30pm EDT Race Called !  Huelskamp Lost

tim huelskamp 5

(((snicker))) A July 15th Poll Release: showed U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp (+9) leading Republican primary challenger Roger Marshall, 47 percent to 38 percent.

However, one of Toxic Ted Cruz’s biggest republican advocates, Tim Huelskamp (Kansas), looks like he is about to lose lost his re-election bid with a primary challenge from Roger Marshall.

Tim Huelskamp is a rabid, VERY RABID, Trump hater.  He was one of the inner network republican house rep #NeverTrump antagonists, and a full-throated Ted Cruz supporter. A really nasty piece of work. – SEE HERE

Representative Huelskamp even advertised and promoted his hatred for republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.  A primary defeat tonight would portend some favorability toward the odds of a Paul Nehlen victory next week (Tuesday August 9th)....

1) he is not trustworthy, having broken his word to support Trump twice. - I agree with you on this.

2) he is underhanded, having screwed Carson AND Rubio with similar e-mails - This is stupid. During a heated primary campaign his team played rough politics. Boo Hoo.

3) his judgment is not sound, having employed a porn star in his ads - This is probably the stupidest thing on your list. Do you think he personally did CIA background checks on every actor in every commercial, found that this girl was in a porn and said, "I don't care about that. Let's put her in anyway! She's too important to let go."

4) his temperament is questionable, given his support for a PAC that spread semi-nude pics of Trump’s wife - When did he "support" the PAC? He didn't. Candidates don't support PACs. It is the other way around. PACs support candidates. And this PAC was only tangentially supporting Cruz. Someone that worked there used to work for a PAC that used to support Fiorina. How you can turn that into Cruz "supporting" the PAC is beyond me.

5) his rationality is questionable given his hanging out with Beck and his behavior at the convention - a guy with 7 million listeners per week wants to endorse and promote him and you think it was "irrational" to accept? His convention speech wasn't any less rational than Trump criticizing Khan. It was just bad political judgement.

6) his ambition is unchecked, as seen by his appearance at the “RedState” meeting later this month. - I don't even know what you mean by this. Because he attends a conservative meeting, his ambition is "unchecked"???? I don't get it. Is he supposed to never go to another meeting because he got beat by Trump?

Look, we get it. You don't like Cruz. Fine. Just don't go trying to justify your irrational hatred by pointing out ridiculous reasons. I am disappointed he let his personal animosity toward Trump get in the way of the future of the country. I understand that it would have been hard to endorse a grown man who personally made fun of your wife's looks and accused your father of being involved with the JFK assassination but for the good of the country and to keep his word, he should have swallowed his pride for a few minutes and endorsed him during his speech. All of this other stuff you listed is just stupid, petty bullshit and hurts your argument.

Kansas 1st voters got rolled by lies. Marshall is a left winger establishment hack and will oppose Trump’s agenda.

As for Bubbles, he lied to ALL of his supporters. He turned out to be a carbon copy of The Orange Menace, Chuckie Crist. Crist at least had the common courtesy to become a Democrat. Both Bubbles and Marshall are open borders establishment puppets.

You are dodging my question like Hillary dodging press conferences. Did, or did not, Huelskamp promise to support Trump as POTUS?

Cruz’ campaign manager, Roe, is the one who bought the rights to the nude Melania pic. Did Cruz rebuke Roe for getting into the gutter?

I already answered your question. You can’t own up to the fact that you’re supporting an open-borders left winger in Marshall.

If you truthfully answered my question, then please provide a link. I’ve read that Huelskamp specifically avoided saying he would support Trump. I read the quote, though I didn’t bookmark it.

But I’m not asking you to confirm that Huelskamp won’t work with Trump. I’m asking you if he ever said he WOULD.

Waiting...

We’ll find out when Marshall starts voting, won’t we ? Huelskamp’s votes are already on record. Proven Conservative. Look ‘em up. I expect when Marshall votes as he’s told to by his leftist puppetmasters, including opposing any attempts to rid the country of illegal slave labor, you’ll be here to apologize for having backed him.

You may very well be correct, but that just shows that Ted Cruz was not only a stealth globalist, who would have saved the elitists if he had won against Trump, Cruz other objective is to cause other conservatives to self destruct. If Huelskamp had kept his mouth shut, he’d be the republican candidate today. Now he’s just a lame duck. All courtesy of siding with Lyin’ Ted, stealth destroyer of conservatives.

Look at it any way you want, son, I don’t give a damn.

If the GOP has done something that you like, or performed some service that has value to you, then by all means, go vote for them.

I’m going to hold my representatives accountable.

Actions have consequences. So does inaction.

Now it’s their turn to answer to me.

Yeah they are. No difference.

Far as Kansas goes, maybe Huelskamp is about to be replaced by a democrat, who knows.

I’m pretty sure that Tim now knows he was a failure, and he has been fired.

Ah you mean like Rush Limbo did back in 2011... and has spent the past year promoting two ineligible Cuban candidates, claiming they were 'conservative' of some particular strip.

I don’t listen to “Rush Limbo”, or to anyone else named Rush.

I saw on another thread that Rush today said Huelskamp had been a hardcore neverTrumper. Rush added that the GOPe is suddenly paying very close attention.

Progress.
