The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump stayed with AG Paxton of TX instead of supporting G.P. Bush.


3 reasons Trump's influence took a big hit in Tuesday's primaries

excerpt:

"- End of Bush era: Tuesday saw the end of the Bush era in politics. George P. Bush, son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was trounced in his bid for Texas attorney general against scandal-plagued Ken Paxton.

Bush will serve as land commissioner until the end of the year, but, as the Texas Tribune writes, Bush's loss "heralds a shift in the Texas Republican politics away from the pro-business establishment and toward a more populist, combative and harsh style of politics."

Bush even tried hard for Trump's endorsement, and, despite Trump teasing that he liked Bush, he lost. It shows where the power in the GOP in places like Texas — away from Bush and more toward Trump."

 

Part of the GOP has moved toward anti-business behavior in favor of a promoting an ideological stance.

Governor Abbott cost the state of Texas billions with his stunt of superfluous inspections of trucks crossing the border looking for illegal immigrants and perhaps illegal ballots for Biden.

Abbott is promoting the act of prohibiting companies from operating in TX if they help fund women with family planning out of state.

 

Paxton was involved with the TX lawsuit that tried to overturn the 2020 election. The lawsuit didn't gain any traction with the U.S. Supreme Court.

Paxton was claiming that TX was harmed by the election procedures in battleground states that Trump lost.


AG Paxton Sues Battleground States for Unconstitutional Changes to 2020 Election Laws

excerpt:

“Trust in the integrity of our election processes is sacrosanct and binds our citizenry and the States in this Union together. Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin destroyed that trust and compromised the security and integrity of the 2020 election. The states violated statutes enacted by their duly elected legislatures, thereby violating the Constitution. By ignoring both state and federal law, these states have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but of Texas and every other state that held lawful elections,” said Attorney General Paxton. “Their failure to abide by the rule of law casts a dark shadow of doubt over the outcome of the entire election. We now ask that the Supreme Court step in to correct this egregious error.”

 

And yet, Pence still kisses his ass.

 

If he had a foot thing, why did he tell the rioters he would march with them to the Capitol building.

 

Oh? He must have finished with that sexy male massage therapist?

 

Probably because every word out of his mouth is a lie...

Just'a guess.

 

Why would he say anything about the foot thing....it only makes him seem weak and foolish....well, he is weak and foolish, but.....just saying..

 

Plus Trump will be there, ready to take down a shooter by himself unarmed.

 

In 2015 Abbott was upset that TX had fallen behind CA in gun sales.


Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted in 2015 that he was 'embarrassed' that Texas was No. 2 in gun purchases and told Texans to 'pick up the pace'

Capitol riot trial of former Army reservist and alleged 'Nazi sympathizer' begins

excerpt:

"A former Army reservist stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 intent on inciting a second "civil war," federal prosecutors said in court on Tuesday. The defendant, Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, is the latest alleged Capitol rioter to face trial, and brings a history of what both the prosecution and defense call "extreme" statements. The jury saw a series of such statements in the form of text messages Hale-Cusanelli sent prior to the riot, in which he used anti-Black, anti-gay and antisemitic slurs.

Hale-Cusanelli's attorney, meanwhile, insisted that his client's statements shouldn't be taken literally, that he was "desperate to be heard" when he joined the riot, and did not intentionally disrupt the counting of electoral votes that day.

Over the course of an anticipated week-long trial, jurors will have to decide which case is more persuasive. On Wednesday, prosecutors intend to call Hale-Cusanelli's former roommate, who acted as a confidential human source for the government and secretly recorded Hale-Cusanelli talking about his actions on Jan. 6."

 

How should they be taken? He literally sent those messages... was is for comedic relief? They were figurative? metaphor?

Or, maybe the guy really is a bigot... Jus' sayin

 

Trump endorsed 27 candidates, how many of them won their nominations? I've been trying to look it up but can't find it!

 

Various alibis for the criminal behavior of Trump's rioters.


They just wanted to be heard.

They felt their vote didn't count.

They accidentally got pushed through a bashed-in door by the rest of the rioters and had trouble finding their way out of the Capitol.

The police let them in.

Trump summoned them to riot.

Retreating police lines allowed rioters to go (supposedly legally) beyond the previous locations of police lines.

They were hoping to see Trump at the Capitol after he said he would walk with them.

They were drunk and high at the time of the riot.

They are afflicted with a condition such as autism.

They are young and don't have full frontal cerebral cortex function.

Some of Trump's endorsements were for candidates who were running unopposed. The primaries in Ohio and Indiana had a significant number of unopposed candidates. It inflates Trump's success percentage.

His biggest winner is probably Herschel Walker who won the primary for a U.S. Senate seat with 68% of the vote. Walker fits into the mold of Trump with his celerity status and ethics issues with women.

Trump is having difficulty running governors out of office, such as those in Nebraska and Georgia. Incumbent governors with a good record usually don't lose in a primary.

Mo Brooks could be seen as both a win and loss for Trump. Brooks made a comeback and will be in a runoff election even though Trump had rescinded his endorsement of him.

 

From MTG to Herschel Walker, here are the Trump-backed winners of Tuesday's primaries

 

Probably most of their life.
