What takeaways from the R primaries should we have.

In Indiana, 6 of the 7 state senators who voted to deny trump's subversion of democracy by blocking the unprecedented, hyper-partisan attempt at mid decade gerrymandering lost their re-election bids.

Defy Trump, lose your seat: Indiana primary delivers a warning to GOP lawmakers​

Indiana Republicans who defied Donald Trump’s gerrymandering push paid for it Tuesday, as primary voters ousted at least five of the seven state senators the president targeted with primary challenges after they voted against his redistricting push — a decisive show of force that suggests his hold on the GOP base remains firm even as his approval rating has hit a new low. The race in one of those primaries has not yet been called by the Associated Press.

Defy Trump, lose your seat: Indiana primary delivers a warning to GOP lawmakers

Indiana’s GOP primaries offer the clearest signal yet that President Donald Trump still commands the fear that built his hold on the party.

In KY, Thomas Massey, who lead the charge for the release of the Epstein files (the regime is still in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act), lost his primary bid in the most expensive House primary race in history.

In LA, Sen. Bill Cassidy lost in his primary after voting to impeach trump, correctly IMO, in the second impeachment trial.

All the Repubs who were defeated are staunch ideological conservatives. Their crimes having been taking positions that displeased Don so trump endorsed their opponents.

Does this tell us something about R primary voters? Can we surmise that they are in favor of allowing the prez, any prez, to profit from stocks trades made based on government policies set by the President? Should we assume they don't mind being lied to by candidates on the campaign trail? Are they not bothered by trump's tariffs causing inflation? Do they support the notion of using the DoJ to punish perceived enemies of the prez without evidence? Or firing FBI agents for following orders by participating in investigations of trump?

I can't help wondering how they came to hold such ostensibly un-American attitudes? What gives them license to look the other way when the prez awards himself almost $2B to dispense to people who object to being held responsible for their crimes? I confess, I don't understand these voter's motivations.

The Democrat Party started this pissing contest of gerrymandering in California and Virginia. As well as Pennsylvania through the state Supreme court a few years ago.

Why do you think that President Trump should just take it and not respond?

 

[Lockback]

Well, one thing is clear: your inability to go even one day without starting yet another thread pissing all over Donald Trump.
Your psychiatrist is awaiting your next appointment.

What takeaways from the R primaries should we have?​

Slavery and graft are thriving in the Republican Party

One wonders if Cassidy finally found his conscience after his primary loss. Begging the question, how many R's in Congress would vote differently, or not remain silent, if they thought of the good of the country and not their own political fortunes.

Letlow and Fleming advanced to a primary runoff, and Cassidy was left out in the cold. The now lame duck senator took some verbal swings at Trump in his election night concession speech, saying that when you lose in a democracy, “you don’t pout, you don’t whine, you don’t claim the election was stolen,” and adding that he was not “bothered by being attacked on the internet,” because “insults only bother me if they come from somebody of character and integrity — and I find that people of character and integrity don’t spent their time attacking people on the internet.”

On Tuesday after Trump announced he was endorsing Paxton over Cassidy’s fellow Republican incumbent Cornyn, the Louisiana senator offered a scathing response, telling a reporter he thought Paxton was a “felon.” (Note: Paxton was indeed charged with multiple felonies in a securities fraud case but managed to keep the case dragging along for years and in 2024, reached a deal with prosecutors that let him avoid pleading guilty if he paid restitution to the former clients he was accused of defrauding, completed 100 hours of community service, and took 15 hours of legal ethics courses.)

Also on Tuesday, news broke that Cassidy said he would oppose Trump’s ballroom project, which currently has a chunk of funding the president wants entangled in Senate procedural rules for budget reconciliation bills. Cassidy followed that up with a vote to discharge a Democrat-sponsored War Powers Resolution on the Iran War.

One would hope, that now that they have nothing to lose, they'll be free to hold onto what little dignity they have left, and do the right thing.

Do you lie intentionally, or is it an acquired taste.

It started with Trump telling Texas to mid decade redistrict.
And California and Virginia was in response to what Trump started.

It is not without precedent for congressional R's who felt shackled by trumpery to begin speaking their minds once released from its constraints.

/----/ It's called draining the swamp.
The next Congress WILL NOT have...Al Green, Jasmine Crockett, Dan Crenshaw, Eric Swalwell, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Don Bacon, Jerry Nadler, and Bill Cassidy.

They know how hideous what trump has done is and thus will do anything, believe anything, to relieve him of responsibility for it.

 

[Care4all]

Trumper candidates win against non Trumpers in the primaries because of how few citizens vote in primary elections and Trumpers are dedicated primary voters compared to most voters..

But if the past counts as a trend, most Trumper candidates go on to LOSE their general elections because more citizens are voting. It's not too often that they go on to win in the general election, though sometimes they do.
