In order to clear GOP primaries this year….
Most Republican’s running for office will probably have to announce their support of a guy who tried to steal an election in broad daylight…
They might not actually like or even support the guy…
But?
That does NOT matter…
They gotta go along….
THAT may put in position to NOT win in November in places were Trump is NOT all that….
As we have seen ?
Trump endorsements do NOT aways bring wins….
Barring a historic anomaly, Democrats will have lost at least one chamber of Congress, Biden’s remaining legislative goals will be placed on life support, and the growing anguish over the party’s 2024 presidential nominee will transform into a panic. Yet even sooner than that, a slice of the most reliable voters will also deliver a tangible verdict on the staying power of another politician who hovers over the next pair of election cycles like no other: the former president, who hardly needs to be named…

Sure, the 45th president will remain the overwhelming front-runner in hypothetical Republican presidential polling throughout the next year. But even his own allies acknowledge that his endorsement success will factor into his decision matrix. And perhaps more importantly, it’ll be closely gauged by the fleet of Republicans lying in wait, seeking any shred of Trumpian vulnerability to justify their own 2024 runs.
“It is very important that the candidates that Donald Trump has endorsed prevail a significant majority of the time because that is a strong message to potential competing candidates of how strongly Republican primary voters like him,” Representative Mo Brooks…

Trump is the only thing that could upend what should be a historic midterm for the Republican Party, Larry Hogan, the anti-Trump term-limited governor of Maryland who is mulling his own path to the White House, argues. “It’s the only way we can blow this thing,” he told me. “The people that may try to be more Trumpy to win a primary may be the least electable in the general. That’s the biggest worry I have for the Republicans.”
Given what happened in Georgia’s runoff elections, it’s easy to envision a scenario in which Trump meddles so heavily and recklessly in a battleground state that the fallout from the divisiveness costs the party a governorship or a precious Senate seat. He’s already suggested that Stacey Abrams, who just launched her second shot at the governorship and harbors her own White House ambitions, might be a better governor than Kemp….

I enjoy how Trump treats these Republican stooges with the contempt they deserve.
The latest is Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy .
Trump said he would endorse him provided that Dunleavy not support Lisa Murkowski In her re-election bid to the Senate .
Dunleavy ,bowing the knee of fealty to his owner ,obediently announced that Trump needn’t worry about that.
Another Republican profile in cowardice!

Everything Donald Trump touches turns to shit …Including the Grand ole’ Party?…
Trump will keep up with his ridiculous rants of a stolen election win as long as the GOP voting majority will listen to him….and the media can make ratings off of it…..
