Kansas Tea Party Congressman Loses Republican Primary Battle

Rep. Tim Huelskamp has been a thorn in the side of the Republican establishment since his election to Congress amid the tea party wave of 2010, and his clashes with former House Speaker John Boehner and other GOP leaders helped get him booted from the House Agriculture Committee.

That proved costly for the third-term congressman on Tuesday, as he lost the GOP nomination to continue representing Kansas' largely rural 1st District to Roger Marshall, a political newcomer who had the backing of powerful farming and business groups.

Maybe he can get a job with Ted Cruz. He attacked Trump and Tea party connection or not people are just not in the mood to stand for such attacks from a “supposed friend.” Bye bye Tim; I hear the fishing in Canada is great this time of the year maybe you and Ted can go up to his family estate and catch a few big ones.

You would have to turn into a pretzel to make that point stick. We already have an amendment that limits the POTUS to two terms and that one is Constitutional.

The 17th stripped state rights from the states and handed it directly to DC. You are 100% correct. The 17th was the biggest mistake this country ever made, even bigger than allowing women to vote.

(The last part was just trolling,... kinda)

The Chamber of Comnerce got their RINO elected.

There appears to have been a big backlash against Brownback on Tuesday with, what? Eleven conservative Republicans losing their senate and house primaries? Could Huelskamp be a part of that?

Thanks, and you are my kind of troll. Of course that box is already opened so it is recognized as extremely difficult to put the Genie back inside.
