Especially the ones we lose!
WI Assembly Speaker Robin Vos squeaked past his Republican primary opponent, Trump-backed Adam Steen, with 51% of the vote 08-09-22. Stolen Election un-truthers smell another rat! They hate Robin Vos because he knows the 2020 election cannot legally be decertified. Any election the un-truthers lose has got to be stolen. Verdict First! Evidence Later! From our social media feed:
Terry Woodman: “I keep wondering how Vos got re-elected in the GOP primary.”
Tony Urso: “So is everyone else. Steen was winning doors 55%, Vos 15%, the rest undecided. Same numbers on the phones. We even were calling his donors and they were abandoning him. Vos’ approval rating was 12% yet he won. It doesn’t make sense.”
Paul Driftmier: “He’s a cheater. Cheaters cheat. His illegal Scooby-Do, mobile drop-box accounted for more than his margin alone.”
The city clerk did indeed drive a mobile polling station around Racine. Paid for by Zuckerbucks although, unlike the drop boxes, the votemobile was staffed by certified election poll workers. Never left unattended. Nonetheless, the practice is being challenged in court. The problem Vos haters have is that a) the votemobile did not venture beyond the city of Racine and b) the Speaker’s Assembly District lies wholly outside of town.
In so many words, the “illegal Scooby-Do, mobile drop-box” accounted for zero votes in Robin Vos’s district. If that matters, which we doubt it will. We revisit the Trump funhouse where only 37% of our fellow Republicans think the 2020 presidential election was fair and honest. Verdict First! Evidence Later!

But it is worth noting that a full one-third of Republicans don’t want Trump to run for president again.

How does Trump win Wisconsin when, according to the Marquette poll, 57% of all registered voters have an unfavorable opinion of him; only 38% are favorable? (Marquette Law began surveying 08-20-22 — after the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago on 08-08-22 but did not specifically ask about that search.)
Blaska’s Bottom Line: We don’t know if Trump-backed Tim Michels used BleachBit or just a ballpeen hammer. But our Republican candidate for governor expunged Donald Trump’s endorsement of his candidacy from his website — proving that our Republican nominee is not stupid — until caught by a NY Times reporter. Now he’s forced to wear it like Hester Prynne’s mark of shame.

I think Trump will drag us down. He costs us the senate in 2020 by meddling in Georgia, with the resultant huge inflation. He may cost us the senate again in 2022, with weak candidates like Dr. Oz & Herschel Walker, which means every American will suffer. He may reelect Evers, though i will vote for Michaels and have his sign in our yard.

That the Republicans don’t want Trump is a badge of honor. Liz Cheney is their poster child. She earned $30,000,000 during her six years in congress and voted as a conservative but when it came time to chose between the Washington Party or Trump she scored the biggest electoral loss in Wyoming history. She is a blue blood among the blue stocking, country club Republicans of Northern Virginia. Beloved of the media and the rest of the Left.
Conservatives! Look at your political opponents and who they line up behind.

In other words, Mark, Liz Cheney is bad because she doesn’t believe Trump’s lies. As for country clubs, Donald Trump owns them.

Liz Cheney, beloved of Pelosi, is bad because she believes her own lies.
Damn right he owns them. He’s a capitalist.
Don’t cry for Liz, Squire. Her Dem stuffed campaign (was any of it yours?) now gives her the $7.5 million dollars she didn’t spend to get crushed. But she still spent three times what her opponent did.
And got crushed.
