Trump's fanatics came up as empty as Geraldo at Al Capone's vault. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2022/05/06/hotze-texas-recording-ballots/ excerpt: "On Oct. 19, 2020, Aguirre rammed Lopez-Zuniga’s cargo truck and detained him during his commute to work, according to a police report and prosecutors. When police responded to the scene, Aguirre told them that Lopez-Zuniga was part of a massive voter fraud scheme involving 750,000 mail-in ballots and that he was transporting ballots forged by undocumented Hispanic children whose fingerprints couldn’t be traced, police stated. Aguirre directed them to Lopez-Zuniga’s mobile home and a shed behind it where he claimed the forged ballots were being stored. Inside the mobile home, police found only “a family conducting ordinary business,” according to a Houston police detective who also gave a deposition in the lawsuit against Hotze and his nonprofit. “There was kids in the trailer,” said John Varela, the detective. “And one child was on Zoom, you know, going to school. And I think a young lady was in there cooking. And they were just an ordinary family.” The shed, Varela said, contained air conditioning equipment."
Attorneys for Aguirre are blaming it on Lopez. A/C repairman held at gunpoint sues Hotze, group that funded bogus investigation excerpt: "Lopez is seeking more than $1 million for “bodily injury, physical pain, past and future mental anguish, exemplary damages and attorney fees,” according to the suit. Woodfill said Aguirre’s attorney has given a different version of events, alleging Lopez and Aguirre got into a “fender bender” and Lopez prompted the confrontation when he rushed at Aguirre. In any case, Woodfill said Hotze should not be held responsible for Aguirre’s actions."
Now Trump's supporters will say the fake ballots for Biden are hidden inside the air conditioning equipment which needs to be disassembled.
Trump says it will be 'very hard' for Herschel Walker to win the Georgia Senate race if Brian Kemp is the GOP gubernatorial nominee excerpt: "One of the problems also is if Brian Kemp gets in, I think it's going to be very, very hard for Herschel Walker to win," the former president said. "Because I don't believe Republicans are going to go out and vote for Brian Kemp. And if they're not voting for Brian Kemp, they're not going to be able to vote for Herschel Walker." On May 24, Kemp will compete in the GOP gubernatorial primary against Perdue — who lost his reelection bid to now-Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in a 2021 Senate runoff election and received the endorsement of Trump late last year — while Walker is expected to walk to an easy nomination as the party's nominee to face incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock.
Georgia Senate debate targets frontrunner Herschel Walker's absence excerpt: "ATLANTA - A debate among Georgia Republican Senate candidates Tuesday night was predictably defined by the man who wasn’t there — Herschel Walker. If the race wasn’t dominated by Walker’s football celebrity and Donald Trump endorsement, Gary Black, Latham Saddler, Kelvin King, Josh Clark and Jon McColumn might all be more viable candidates for the Republican nomination. But instead, each continued to try to scratch out a case for GOP voters to turn away from Walker and consider them in the May 24 primary as an alternative to take on Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock in November. This is our fifth debate or forum he hasn’t showed up," said Saddler, a Navy veteran and former bank executive. "We need a leader or fighter that’s going to show up to defeat Raphael Warnock in November. Raphael Warnock is a very smooth operator, we got to see him in action this last election cycle." The Atlanta Press Club, which sponsored the debate televised on Georgia Public Broadcasting, set out an empty podium for Walker, with the other candidates taking turns dunking on his absence."
The Trump-endorsed football celebrity Herschel Walker missed five debates, and yet a poll shows he is in first place by a 59% margin to the next closest GOP candidate.
AJC poll: Herschel Walker dominates the Georgia GOP Senate race excerpt: "With soaring name recognition and former President Donald Trump’s backing, the former University of Georgia football star leads the GOP primary field with 66% of support. His closest competitor, Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, was at 7%."
Emerson Polling excerpt: "Georgia 2022 Poll: Herschel Walker Leads Senator Warnock 49% to 45% A new Emerson College Polling/The Hill poll of Georgia finds U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock trailing likely Republican nominee Herschel Walker 49% to 45% with 6% undecided."

https://thehill.com/opinion/campaig...op-three-senate-races-will-give-us-an-answer/ excerpt: "While we won’t know anything for certain until North Carolina and Pennsylvania hold their primaries, the trajectory of these two races thus far — taken together with the outcome in the Ohio primary — point to Trump remaining a dominant figure in Republican politics through 2024, and indicate that he could very well be the party’s presidential nominee. Indeed, the result of the Ohio Republican primary for U.S. Senate, which was held this week, is telling of Trump’s primacy within the G.O.P., as his endorsement of J.D. Vance undoubtedly helped catapult Vance to victory in a seven-way race. Prior to Trump’s April 15 endorsement, Vance’s position in the race was relatively weak — there were no public polls that showed him leading the field, and he often ranked in third place. Notably, a poll by Trafalgar Group released the day prior to Trump’s endorsement showed Vance trailing challenger Josh Mandel by 5 percent. Following Trump’s endorsement, Vance jumped to the lead in every public poll conducted in the remainder of the campaign, and he won the nomination by 8 percent."
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaig...op-three-senate-races-will-give-us-an-answer/ excerpt: "To be sure, the two other Trump-endorsed Senate candidates — Tedd Budd in North Carolina and Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania — both also have a strong shot at securing their party’s nomination and have clearly benefited from Trump’s backing. In North Carolina, all candidates in the Republican Senate primary were jockeying for Trump’s support at the outset of the campaign. Trump’s endorsement of Ted Budd, who tied himself to the former president in his campaign announcement, has propelled Budd to double-digit leads in most public polls, and he appears poised to secure the nomination. Perhaps the most significant test of Trump’s power over the G.O.P base will come on May 17 in the Republican Senate primary in Pennsylvania. Trump recently endorsed celebrity TV doctor Mehmet Oz over former George W. Bush staffer and hedge fund CEO David McCormick, causing intense blowback, even within the MAGA movement."
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaig...op-three-senate-races-will-give-us-an-answer/ excerpt: "In the weeks prior to Trump’s endorsement, an Emerson poll showed McCormick with a 6-point lead over the crowded Republican field, and Oz trailing him in second place, 27 percent to 21 percent. Following Trump’s endorsement, Oz jumped to a 3-point lead in the race, 23 percent to 20 percent, per recent polling conducted by Trafalgar Group."
J.R. Majewski, an Ohio GOP congressional candidate, was a January 6 participant and has repeatedly shared pro-QAnon material - CNNPolitics excerpt: "Followers of the tentpole QAnon conspiracy theory believe there is a “deep state” within the US government that is controlled by a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles. According to the theory, the cabal is largely run by Democratic politicians and liberal celebrities who work to traffic children – and former President Donald Trump is trying to take them down with the help of QAnon “patriots.” Their work will come to fruition on a day known as the “Storm,” when thousands of people will be arrested and face military tribunals and mass executions for their alleged crimes."
