'Trump is in the past': Mounting losses show limits of power

Anyone see the recent results?

Trump has more influence than anyone in history when it comes to endorsements.

Trump's 2022 got off to a strong start in Texas' primaries, with his 33 endorsed candidates all winning or going into runoff races in strong positions.

That's 33/120 endorsed candidates. Is that what you'd call successful? I've no doubt that Trump is popular with some in the Republican party, but he isn't to pretty much everyone else.

Yeah, the left trying to make it doom and gloom again and failing miserably as usual.

Tuesday’s primary elections in Pennsylvania and North Carolina will put three more Trump endorsements — Oz, Budd and Hines — to the test.

Trump’s remaining four open congressional seat picks so far are running in primaries scattered throughout the summer: Vernon Jones in Georgia on May 24, former interior secretary Ryan Zinke in Montana and Kevin Kiley in California on June 7, John James in Michigan on Aug. 2, Derrick Van Orden in Wisconsin on Aug. 9, Sarah Palin in Alaska on Aug. 16 and Anna Paulina Luna in Florida on Aug. 23.

By and large, Trump’s picks for open seats run on a parallel track with the Republican Party consensus.

Three of Trump’s endorsements for open Congressional races — Zinke, De La Cruz and Van Orden — are also among the small number of candidates targeted for support by the McCarthy-controlled Congressional Leadership Fund’s “Trailblazers Fund,” which “provides direct financial support to top-tier candidates, GOP rising stars, and key Members of Congress.”

So looks like Trump is looking sweet. Was never convinced that Kemp was going to lose his seat, but for the most of the others, slamdunk.

its a cult! you people are mindless and just do whatever Trump says!

a few people who are endorsed dont win.....

Trump is losing his power! Stinging rebuke! why dont you people do what Trump says!?

A Republican of varying degrees of Trump support won in every primary.

Kemp is the only one who is mostly anti-Trump and also the most likely to lose in November.

Lets talk again if these people lose to Democrats.

If they dont, Team Republican wins and those people are still 75% onboard with what Trump wants.

If they lose to a Democrat (Kemp) it will be super clear that the voters should have picked who Trump chose instead.

I have a strong feeling that Kemp will be highly invested in the election integrity of his own election. compared to his total lack of interest in the integrity of Trump's election. I highly doubt he will allow all the shenanigans the Dems did to Trump to be done to him.
