Trump Is Still The Kingmaker

trump

All eyes were on Ohio’s 15th Congressional District on Tuesday night for one reason: to see whether President Trump is still the undisputed kingmaker of the Republican Party. Just a few hours after voting ended, that question was answered with a resounding “yes.” In a crowded 11-person field, Trump-backed businessman Mike Carey, whom Trump held an event for in Lorain County earlier this summer which he labeled “the very first rally of the 2022 election,” won a 23-point blowout primary victory, apparently putting to rest predictions that the former President’s political clout has waned since leaving office.

When Rep. Steve Stivers made the surprise announcement this April that he would retire from the Congressional seat he had held for more than a decade, a huge field of Republicans emerged to replace him. Central Ohio’s 15th Congressional District has a long history of sending Republicans to Washington, and this special election would likely be no different. Whichever candidate emerged victorious in the primary would, in all likelihood, have the opportunity to serve in a safe seat for many years to come.

Although the Republican Primary field grew to 11 candidates, the race truly came down to two – businessman Mike Carey and state Rep. Jeff LaRe. Carey, an Army veteran and successful energy executive, had the coveted endorsement of President Trump. LaRe, a current state Representative for Ohio’s 77th House District, was handpicked and endorsed by Rep. Stivers to replace him. This Buckeye State special election quickly came down to a test of whether the Republican voters in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District would follow Trump or Stivers. It was a microcosm of the dynamic that many political observers believe will define Republican primaries ahead of the 2022 midterms.

This storyline was not lost on the mainstream media, who were determined to cast anything short of a dominant Carey victory as a crushing defeat for President Trump and his political future. Journalists and Never-Trump critics alike had just rejoiced the previous week at the results of the recent runoff election for Texas’ 6th Congressional District. In that race, Texas State Representative Jake Ellzey won the special election over Trump-backed Susan Wright.

However, much of the media conveniently ignored the complexities of that race which actually undercut their desired narrative. The July 27th runoff pitted two pro-Trump Republicans against one another after Democrats failed to get a candidate into the run-off in an open primary in April. In that vote, President Trump’s endorsed candidate, Republican Susan Wright, finished in first with 19.2 percent of the vote, while fellow Republican Jake Ellzey finished in second place with 13.8 percent of the vote. The Texas Democratic Party, which has clung to closer statewide elections in recent years as a sign of changing political tides, was left with a giant black eye after their third-place candidate, Democrat Jana Lynne Sanchez, was locked out of the runoff.

Any fair-minded reporter or political observer would surely point out that the July 27th runoff in Texas’s 6th Congressional District was a win-win for Republicans no matter what. And those same reporters and observers would be remiss not to point out that in a low-turnout election between two Republican candidates, enough Democrat voters could turn out and hold their noses to vote for Ellzey in order to spite President Trump and his endorsed candidate, which appears to be exactly what took place. 

Nevertheless, the media advanced a dishonest narrative throughout the past week claiming that President Trump’s standing in the Republican Party was weakened by the results.

That narrative was utterly crushed Tuesday night with Mike Carey’s impressive victory, as the candidate himself was eager to point out. “Tonight, Republicans across Ohio’s 15th Congressional District sent a clear message to the nation that President Donald J. Trump is, without a doubt, the leader of our party,” Carey said in a tweet following his victory. “I could not be more grateful for his support, and I am proud to deliver this win to advance his America First agenda.”

Carey clearly recognizes that if he wins on November 2, when he faces Democrat state Rep. Allison Russo in a special general election, he will have President Trump to thank.

The former president aggressively flexed his political muscles in this primary, and it paid off for Mike Carey. Following the rally in Lorain County, President Trump released multiple statements declaring that only Carey had received his endorsement after other competitors in the race repeatedly tried to tie themselves to him. To further secure a Carey victory, the Trump affiliated Super PAC, Make America Great Again Action, Inc., spent more than $300,000 on the race in the final weeks on text messages, digital, and TV ads. But President Trump was taking nothing for granted as he held a second tele-rally for Mike Carey on the night before Election Day.

After the triumph for his candidate on Tuesday night, Trump released a statement to his now quiet detractors regarding his political clout. “One of the biggest stories in the Lamestream Media yesterday was the very important Congressional race in Ohio and whether or not Trump-backed candidate, Mike Carey, would lose against a large and outstanding field of other candidates. The mainstream was chomping at the bit to report a loss for a Trump endorsed candidate—they couldn’t wait,” President Trump said. “But lo and behold, instead of a loss, there was a landslide victory for Mike—a win far larger than even the most optimistic of polls.”

As this week proved, Donald Trump is still the undisputed kingmaker of the Republican Party.

I have serious doubt that the 2022 will be a free and fair election. The dem-o-rats are not
going to give up power !! The Rinos let them get away with cheating and they will do it
again. I’m of the belief that it will take a civil war to return the country to free elections.
I hope I’m wrong, but…………………I’m calling it like I see it.

I supported Trump but I rather have a younger man and a social conservative. Trump was not great at his appointees especially Attorney General. He should have fired many in Justice department. His Supreme Court appointees are a disappointment too. My main beef is Operation Warp speed. An experimental drug is being forced on Americans now. He had a platform to promote vitamins and supplements, exercise and a healthy diet. There are other medications that work again Covid. Republicans are such screwballs. Here in Texas our speaker of the House allows democrats to hold committee chairmanships. How stupid is that. I will vote for the most conservative candidate in the primaries. I don’t put my trust in princes anymore.

Whether or not President Trump chooses to run again in 2024 will depend on the outcome of the 2022 elections and whether election integrity has been restored to pre-2020 levels. If we go into the 2022 elections with most states still operating under the so-called emergency Covid-19 rules of all mail-in voting, little or no voter ID verification and the host of illegal ballot counting activities that were documented across multiple states, then winning back control of both houses of Congress will be very difficult to impossible. So Republicans in state houses across the country have to show a lot more urgency in getting election integrity laws passed than many have been showing to date.

Also the federalization of elections, that is now included in the so-called Human Infrastructure bill, and the granting of amnesty to millions of illegal aliens must be stripped out of the bill and never allowed to be passed as it stands now. Otherwise, elections become a moot point anyway as Democrats will never lose again.

If we end up with a split Congress after the 2022 elections, with either the House or the Senate still in Democrat control, there is really no incentive for President Trump to run in 2024 as even if he wins, he would face a continual roadblock in getting any legislation through Congress to try and clean up the mess that the Biden administration will have left of this country by then. Not to mention that either Congressional house still in Democrat controlled hands would be focused exclusively on yet another run at impeachment for non-existent crimes. Since President Trump wants to get things done, that benefit the American people, he will need a majority of both houses of Congress controlled by Republicans actually willing to support him fully the next time around.

If nothing else, President Trump now realizes that Democrat appointed federal judges will be ready on day one to block or delay virtually any executive orders he chooses to enact. Look at all the time that was wasted by having to end up in the Supreme Court over and over again to over-ride these Democrat federal judges. So he needs a Republican majority in both houses of Congress, that is actually willing to pass his agenda this time, to enact legislation that any future Democrat President can’t merely cancel on Day One because almost everything had to be done by executive orders. That is a heavy lift, but that is what is needed. Otherwise, President Trump will likely choose to simply assist true Republican candidates that support the MAGA agenda rather than waste his time endlessly playing whack-a-mole with the swamp for four years.

People will support President Trump, because Donald Trump believes in and loves America,
He believes that America should have a strong but limited Government, He believes that we should have a strong and effective Military for nationally Defense, He believes that we should have a strong and stable dollar, He believes that we should follow the constitution as written, and he believes that we should have Religious freedom, He is the last President since Ronald Reagan to have all of these values. My points is why would you not support a candidate that he supports.

It’s all a moot point without election integrity! … Progressively Communist Democrats WILL STEAL THE NEXT ELECTION. … Civil War? … No! … Let the Commies sink themselves by having the Red States SECEDE FROM THE UNION and form a “New” United States of Patriotic Americans. Every Blue State is already overtaxed, over spent, over everything! The people of those states will rise up against their Communist leaders or move to a Red State. The Commies will want to use their Military leadership but remember, the average soldier WILL NOT ALLOW firing upon their own families and when that happens the Commies will sink! It’s either this, Civil War or Communist Rule! … No choice is ideal but no way will We the People accept Communism!

I love it! Stick it right in their pathetic faces! Trump is putting some time & effort into for America First candidates & WINNING while on vacation from the DC Swamp…
Just as importantly, lest we forget about the massive election fraud found in Maricopa County, AZ with the final results to be released in a matter of days will be a monumental moment in US history. Georgia’s audit will overwhelmingly show more massive scale election fraud & followed by PA, WI & NV…
Remember folks, the election evidence has already been procured sometime ago, this is for We The People to see & witness along with the rest of the world to see what had actually occurred by 5:00 am on Nov. 4, 2020… Otherwise called the ‘ optics ‘…
We have got to get the 2020 US Presidential Election corrected long before 2022 gets here, including both the domestic & foreign interference, i.e. vote switches by China & all the unfolded, thin Chinese paper which those Sharpies rendering them unreadable & by design in order to force ” adjudication ” & manually getting Biden’s name entered for the vote…
So, in a nutshell, this isn’t over by a longshot & yes we are at war with China as thus far not a bullet has been fired, YET…
Stay strong, stay diligent, hold the course…
The best is yet to come…
Bill on the Hill… :~)

I don’t think Trump is productive for the Republican Party. He single-handedly ruined his reelection and was the reason for the Georgia US Senate elections. The party needs to distance itself from him. I think the only reason they have not dumped him is the thought he might run on a 3rd party ticket. He is likely to do so anyway. Get younger, experienced candidates that are for a strong military, fiscal sanity and smaller government.

“Trump Republicans” will easily take the House of Representative back in 2022. Establishment Republicans who are up for re-election are on the ropes and losing heir primaries (Trump will help ensure that).

Meanwhile, Creepy Joe and company are attempting to do as much damage as they can.

It’s very unfortunate that the most effective and fearless political truth teller in the USA is not the news media, the two major political parties, any of the bloated federal bureaucracies or law enforcement agencies, but is rather an irascible, egotistic and arrogant businessman and patriot who can’t stand to see centuries of sacrifice being squandered by a cartel of corrupt and greedy career politicians and special interests. God bless President Trump. Whenever his bombastic and over the top personality and style get under my skin, I simply look at the list of his (and America’s) enemies within the gates. Suddenly, he appears to be a champion of justice and freedom by comparison.

Trump spent the last 60-days of his term trying to convince people that he won the election. I will not vote for him again , because he was all out for himself & not this country. More data just coming out this week on Trump putting pressure on DOJ to call the election fraudulent & this will come back to bite him.

Message to the few Trump nay-sayers on this platform. You are obviously on the wrong website, if you do not understand that AMAC members are pro-Trump and pro-Trump policies. The 2020 elections were absolutely, without a doubt fraudulent, and anyone who cannot see it, is blind. All subsequent elections will also be fraudulent, unless we protect our vote. President Trump sees things as they are and calls them out as they are. President Trump is 100% right. I watched the election results come in on election night. I saw the stopping of the vote in the 5 questionable states. Weren’t you watching? If you think Trump is not worthy, because he is a fighter, then think again. We watched Romney lose to Obama because Romney was not a fighter. After I saw that defeat, my first thought was, “Our next Republican candidate needs to be a “junk yard dog.” I was thinking, at the time, of Newt Gingrich. When Trump decided to run, I knew we was the” junk yard dog” that we needed. I have been a staunch Trump supporter from the get go. And he has not let us down! Go Trump!

Here lately AMAC’s comment section is being ‘trolled’ by Commie Socialist Marxist bots, which are no doubt being paid by Deep State actors. In my experience, ignoring them completely burns their a$$es as well as helping us stay focused on what we believe and stand for. The more we respond, the more bots they send. I wasn’t sure the guy I responded to was a full blown Liberal, I guess he is because he suffers from TDS.

Trump should still be in the White House!!! He doesn’t play in the swamp, can not be bought and he actually cares about the USA!!!!! Too be honest…I never voted until he was running (I’m 68) as it really didn’t matter….they all played the game of politics and left much wealthier than when they went in… (term limits of like 8 years would work…but when you leave, you pay your own insurance and you are on your own – no ongoing pay for anyone)….my thoughts anyway!! Then Donald Trump arrived!!! The excitement about him was unbelievable and he did what he said he would….sometimes may have a said a few things that some didn’t like. but I will take truth over anything else! The huge rallies, and the hope of serious change had come to pass at last !!!! Now, due to blatant fraud, which we all knew at the time, has now been proven in many states, but of course…nothing legally done to give him back the White House….and unfortunately, I don’t think that will happen…but he is working to build a strong Rep. party for the election that is imperative for the Rep’s to take back control….God Bless Trump, his family, his supporters and the people he is working with to make us stronger…. NO SOCIALISM FOR THE USA-EVER!!!!!!

EVERYTHING these losers have enacted has been a failure.
They have been EXPOSED as their true communist selves along with their 50 lies and failures.
Ask yourself, has anyone expect the democrat party benefited from their greed and division???
We the People need to be involved and hold representatives accountable by removing these failures and electing people who support the Citizens.

I sent it back and sent a copy of my cancelled check showing where I had paid. Nothing….haven’t ever heard from them again. They are $42 richer and I am $42 poorer and that’s a lot of money to a retired person. Some of you may have had a good experience with this organization but I have not. They are either crooks or very disorganized.
