On Wednesday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article that provides a very different perspective on the election than what I have heard elsewhere. The article points out that on election night 174 of the candidates backed by President Trump won and 9 lost. That totally contradicts the stories in the media claiming that President Trump was a drain on the election. Another thing that the media fails to mention is that the establishment Republicans gave very little (if any) money to non-establishment Republican candidates. We need to remember that the Republican establishment is part of the uni-party and does not want to give up power.
Carroll Quigley was an American historian who lived from 1910 to 1977. At one point in his career, he stated the following:
The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.
That’s exactly where we are now.
The Gateway Pundit reports:
Trump-endorsed candidates for U.S. Senate were 21-0 in primary elections during the 2022 election cycle
When President Trump endorsed J.D. Vance on April 15, 2022, he was polling in 5th place for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. His endorsement led to a resounding 8% margin of primary victory by Vance among a 7-candidate field. In the general election, Vance was outspent by $35 million.
President Trump endorsed Blake Masters on June 2, 2022, when Masters was polling in 3rd place for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. His endorsement led to a tremendous 12% margin of primary victory by Masters among a 5-candidate field. In the general election, Masters was outspent by nearly $70 million.
These are some of the candidates President Trump backed:
Most of them did pretty well.
The article concludes:
Remember this: “If you’re a RINO, you get the campaign funding. If you’re MAGA, they don’t even return your calls. RINO leadership intentionally sabotaged the Red Wave to hurt Trump and the MAGA faithful. Don’t let them twist what actually happened,” DC_Draino wrote.
Those in power in both parties are more interested in maintaining their little clique than in representing the voters who put them if office. It really is time to throw the bums out. The Republicans currently in Congress feared the ‘red wave’ because those in leadership would likely be voted out. Unfortunately, the Republicans did not elect enough patriots to change the leadership. We can expect more of the same ineffectiveness from the establishment Republicans that we have seen in the past.
