Someone needs to punch that ticket.

Things have gotten complicated for Peter Meijer when it comes to his feelings about Donald Trump.
Less than a year ago, Meijer told me that he couldn’t imagine voting for Trump in 2024. At the time, the Michigan Republican was leaving Congress after a single term, having been ousted in a primary challenge after voting to impeach Trump.
But now Meijer is launching a comeback bid for the Senate, and he’s changing his tune.
In an interview with POLITICO Magazine, Meijer said he’ll now support whomever the 2024 GOP nominee is, amid little doubt it’s likely to be Trump. And he’s doing more than that for the former president. Just days before Meijer announced his intention to join the increasingly crowded Senate GOP field, he submitted a court filing arguing that Trump’s name should be allowed to appear on Michigan ballots next year amid debate over whether Trump is disqualified from the presidency because of his conduct on Jan. 6.
“It’s something that I’ve grappled with,” said Meijer, the 35-year-old scion of a mega Midwestern supermarket family and an Iraq War veteran, who called Trump “unfit for office” after Jan. 6.
It’s also a significant about-face for a politician who was one of just 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach Trump for inciting the Capitol riot, and his rationalizations sounded somewhat tortured. In fact, he seems to blame Trump’s revival more on Democrats and their “cynical calculation” than the GOP voters who remain in his thrall.

Who now wants back in the game.
But he will never be a Senator or anything else.
He used his power to try to remove Trump from office (when he was leaving in ten days anyway).
But when the people used THEIR power to remove HIM from office, oh he didn't expect or like that.
So he's now out on the street, begging to be let back into the fold.But
Oh, too bad!
PHONY is right!!
Ahhhh, the Ol wolf in sheep clothing.
Don’t fall for it
He’s running in the wrong party.
Traitors must swing.
Meijer Is typical of the squalid GOP leadership.
Trust a politician on the worst things they’ve done. They will do those again.
Cotton,
I rewrote the scorpion and frog proverb for this post.
Peter Meijer once begged Trump for a ride across the election river.
Halfway across, Meijer demonstrated to be a scorpion and stung Trump, who, with strength and resolve, reached the shore and survived.
As Meijer floundering in the river’s grip, he wanted Trump to once more aid him.
But Trump, wise to nature’s unyielding grip, knew some creatures sting by compulsion and some promises are as thin as water.
Send that to Trump.
"In his thrall". It IS Poluttico, after all.
I like it...:)
Whore.
Notice how Meijer’s name didn’t appear in the headline?
I know if I saw it in the headline, I would have scrolled right by.
Pollute-ico is correct.
Someone needs to punch that ticket.
“remain in his thrall”
The entire mainstream press corps “remained in thrall” of Kennedy, Clinton, and Obama. Anyone who wasn’t was deemed a hater, racist, fascist, or traitor.
Once a traitor, always a traitor.
Simply wants Trumps endorsement. Not the least bit trustworthy
A true political whore.
““It’s something that I’ve grappled with,” said Meijer, the 35-year-old scion of a mega Midwestern supermarket family and an Iraq War veteran, who called Trump “unfit for office” after Jan. 6.”
Untrustworthy Meijer is unfit for office. He can continue to “grapple with it” after he loses the primary while going out and campaigning vociferously for Trump in 2024.
Also he is an idiot.
“..Meijer Is typical of the squalid GOP leadership....”
^THIS^
He’s the classic ‘poster boy” for em.
