Come on Jim. That’s not a president’s job. You could have had that, or had real accomplishments. There’s not even enough time in Trump’s day to vet 435 candidates.

Second, and I’m serious, there aren’t 435 people who was remotely close to Trump who have a chance of winning anything. Look at how Moore flamed out in AL-—he was far closer to Trump than Brooks or Strange (whom Trump DID endorse). Since then, Trump has carefully endorsed winners, as opposed to just “Trumpers,” because the downside of endorsing losers is politically worse than having winners who don’t completely support you.

When you go through all that’s needed to run for a US House seat-—all the groups you need to appeal to, the incredible money it takes (incredible for an average person), the demands on your life . . . well, it’s stunning. I had a friend who ram for Tony Hall’s seat in Dayton, OH (that eventually Mike Turner got), and my friend got beaten badly. He was very smart, a doctor who was singing the criticisms of the health care system in the late 1990s early 2000s, and he was just blown out.

Then, on top of that, you have to admit that the neverTrumper Club for Growth type organizations will come in with guns blazing against MAGA candidates.

This is Senate, not House, but in AZ, Ms McTurd Martha McSally has taken out a $1m (ONE MILLION) ad buy against Kelli Ward . . . in the primary!!!

Yes, lots of counties in OH, PA, IA, MI, WI voted for Trump and voted for Zero twice. Read Salena Zito’s “The Great Revolt.” I don’t know about your NH district, but if people “hate” Republicans so much, how do you explain that since November 2016, Rs have NET added over 8,000 to their rolls over DemoKKKrats?

Thanks for the reply.

I don't have your expertise or your fluency, or I would have written a longer post.

Of course I didn't mean Trump should find and pick candidates.

But, entering into politics at the very highest level, he needed a political team of the very highest caliber (if he wanted to stick around), and he didn't/doesn't have that.

I don't know, but I stand by my prediction that any Democrat will beat Andy Sanborn or Eddie Edwards in NH-1 despite Trump's victory un the district, and I hope this district is not typical.
