Trump endorsed Republicans lost to their "not Trump endorsed" opponents
Really? This link to lefty Politico (since you provided none) says he endorsed 16 candidates. By my count all 16 won, or advanced.
California wins
CA01
Rep. Doug LaMalfa
Made the general election by finishing in first place.He voted to overturn 2020 election results.
CA03
Kevin Kiley
Made the general election by finishing in second place.A GOP state assemblyman and sharp critic of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, Kiley placed sixth in his bid to unseat Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2021. But that finish didn’t dissuade Trump from backing him after meeting Kiley in May at a Trump California golf course. “No one has fought Gavin Newsom harder than Kevin. He doesn’t wait for the fight, like the do-nothing RINOs who have watched California get absolutely destroyed by the radical maniacs in Sacramento,” Trump said in his endorsement.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy

Made the general election by finishing in first place.
The House minority leader, whom Trump has referred to as “my Kevin,” received his endorsement from the former president over the weekend. Audio tapes released in April showed McCarthy privately bashing the former president following the Jan. 6 attacks — to the brief irritation of Trump and others in the GOP — though the two still publicly support each other.
McCarthy voted to overturn 2020 election results.
CA22
Connie Conway
Made the general election by finishing in first place.Trump backed the former state legislator in the special election runoff to replace GOP Rep. Devin Nunes, who resigned his seat to run Trump’s media company. In his endorsement statement, the former president commended Conway’s work for his administration as California executive director for the Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency.
Conway will only serve in Congress temporarily, as the district lapses next year after the state’s new congressional district map takes effect.

Won with 74 percent.
The 88-year-old senator has criticized Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 attacks in the past — and called for the prosecution of participants — but that didn’t stop Grassley from touting the former president’s support. “So if I didn’t accept the endorsement of a person who has 91% of the Republican voters in Iowa, I wouldn’t be too smart. I’m smart enough to accept that endorsement,” Grassley said at an October rally last year where he received Trump’s backing.

*With 80 percent of the expected vote in, Zinke held a narrow lead over Al Olszewski, 41 percent to 40 percent.
Zinke served as U.S. Interior Secretary under Trump for two years after a previous stint in Congress. He resigned in 2018 over financial ethics concerns, related to an investigation that found he inappropriately used his authority to support a Montana-based project and did not divulge all information related to his involvement. In his endorsement, Trump praised Zinke for his previous Cabinet work and said he looked forward to someone who would “fight against the radical left Democrats who continually block the America First policies we put in place.”

GOVERNOR
Gov. Kristi Noem

Won with 76 percent.
Trump took notice of Noem during her tenure in Congress and then as governor — the former president even asked her to consider running against Sen. John Thune, which she declined. During Trump’s Independence Day visit to South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore in 2020, Noem presented him with a replica with his face on it after he expressed interest in joining his presidential predecessors on the national landmark. She also campaigned around the country for Trump in 2020 and had a 2021 fundraiser for her reelection campaign at Mar-a-Lago, hosted by Donald Trump Jr. and girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Trump endorsed 16 candidates in Tuesday’s primaries. Here are the winners.
The former president ran the table with his endorsements Tuesday. But he largely backed candidates who were likely to win anyway.

I cannot beat up on conservatives on this forum as there are basically none.
But the GOP is a large part of why we are heading into a recession. They helped it happen, it was a team effort.

i dont listen to die hard party people elmer....so no you are not getting through to me....but since you replied to what i said,i may be getting through to you....
Your post is based on your mistaken understanding of the concept of unalienable rights. Calling rights "unalienable" doesn't mean they can't be violated. Nor does it mean governments must protect them. It's merely an existential observation of the human condition. The term is used in the Declaration of Independence to justify the need for a government. Jefferson is saying, essentially, "We start out with unlimited freedom. In order to maximally preserve that freedom we establish government and laws".
It was a novel concept at the time (still is really). They were saying that the purpose of government is to protect freedom. Not to impose the will of the king, or a particular set of religious mores, not to tell people how to live, but to protect their freedom to decide for themselves how to live.

I do not care what anyone believe. I supported my claim by posting a picture I took of my ballot before I mailed it in. That is all I can do.
People like you will never believe me because you cannot grasp the idea of not being a slave to the duopoly. You know nothing else.

Sorry you do not understand how our election system works.
as for the gas prices, I have to admit I get far more enjoyment out of watching you all whine about them than I should.
But damn it is fun to watch you all throw your tantrums.

Yeah, that makes sense {LOL}. There are reasons no one believes you. Being disingenuous and an obvious idiot doesn't help.
