Republicans ramp up support for candidates snubbed by Trump

Republicans are growing increasingly bold in their support for a handful of candidates snubbed by former President Trump in hotly contested GOP primaries.

While Trump remains the most coveted endorser among Republicans, his picks in some races have stirred concern and frustration within some corners of the GOP, with some Republicans questioning whether the former president is picking the strongest candidates in potentially competitive races.

It’s a trend that’s not limited to Trump’s Republican critics. His former ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, recently headlined a fundraiser for Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who is facing a Trump-backed primary challenge from Katie Arrington.

Likewise, retiring Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) is preparing to transfer as much as $6 million to a super PAC supporting one of his former aides, Katie Britt, in the GOP primary to succeed him in the Senate.

Bush League Republicans are what South Carolina elects.
Almost every one of their delegation is.

Assistant Democrats, you can tell by their R jerseys.

The political order is breaking down very nicely. Well done, DJT.

They will see how much they can get with money alone because they sure don’t generate any excitement.

You can count on the establishment to stand up to the voters.

Neocons will do whatever it takes to take back total control of the party or just have republicans be totally powerless so it won’t matter.

Nikki Haley stumping for Mace should do Mace in.

Mace, Britt the twitt, ..neither of these have any business near Congress. And seriously? Katie Britt, graduated form law school in 2013 to be a United States Senator?
Utterly insane.

The Swamp is in full panic mode for the RINO-traitors who must face a primary this year.

I’m wondering who’s funding these dinosaur DC periodicals that, quite literally, went out with the world wide web.

The Hill, Roll Call, National Review. Nobody reads these useless rags, except swampy old farts who refuse to use the internet.

And they all, with one voice, hate Trump.

Funny how that works. Who’s paying them?

Wow! Some are making their own choices. I am a party official and have told more than one candidate that NOBODY has a right to an office or a nomination. You want it? Earn it.

They are not Republicans. They’re RINOs.

I do not donate to the RNC.

I do give to individual candidates.

One would think, but this is the state that has re-elected Flimsey Grahamnesty TWICE after THREE amnesty votes.

Trump’s political operation, Save America, raised $3.5M in February, and now has over $110M cash on hand.

That’s more cash on hand than the RNC, the DNC, and the Biden campaign combined
