Donald Trump Is Losing More Primary Races Than He'd Like You to Know
Source: Newsweek via MSN
The question of how much influence Donald Trump's influence continues to have for GOP voters continued in the wake of the primaries in Nebraska and West Virginia, with the former president's endorsements having a mixed night.
Before the polls opened on Tuesday in both states, Trump had endorsed 55 candidates who all went on to win their respective primaries or advance into a runoff22 in Ohio and Indiana and 33 in Texas.
The run came to an end after Trump's pick in the GOP gubernatorial election in Nebraska, Charles Herbster, lost the election to Jim Pillen, a University of Nebraska regent endorsed by outgoing term-limited Governor Pete Ricketts.
However, as noted by Politico, Trump may have also lost another election in Nebraska that night as Representative Don Bacon managed to hold onto his seat after getting a resounding 77 percent of the votes on Tuesday.

(9,361 posts)As a former President, he's a story no matter how stupid he acts. (Actually, the more stupid, the bigger the story.) Now there's something called "news judgment" that seems to be in somewhat short supply these days which would not make every itsy bitsy thing he says or does newsworthy. As much as we hate it, he's not going away in the news. But you can do your part by ignoring TV and news reports. You don't have to know what he's doing even if the media reports it.

(3,845 posts)just Republicans he endorses in primaries? He endorsed Loeffler and Perdue in Georgia in the senate race, they lost. And didn't he have an endorsement against Dewine in Ohio this time around?

(6,911 posts)Leave tabloid stories about a whining ex-president to the gossip publications.
At least dont sell advertising next to the dumpster fire, that just enables him and the cult.
Show some fucking restraint, advertising peddlers.
