All in all, I'd say this is quite impressive.

    A List of Trump Endorsements in 2022 — And How They've Fared (marketrealist.com)

    This primary season, pundits have debated the value of an endorsement from former President Donald Trump for 2022 Republican hopefuls all over the primary ticket. While a vote of confidence from 45 gave primary candidate J.D. Vance the push needed to win his primary race, having Trump's blessing doesn't always spell victory, as Georgia gubernatorial candidate David Perdue learned.

    With primary season in full swing, let's take a detailed look at every endorsement Trump has issued to the executive federal office this campaign season, as well as what kind of sway his support lends in 2022 — if any.

    This list will be updated throughout the primary season as election results finalize. (Last updated 5/25/2022 at 8:00 a.m. ET)


    He only faired 50% in gubernatorial races, but look further.

    What you are saying is that his endorsement had no effect on the primaries. Personally, I don't think endorsements are very important. I'm glad of that. I would hate to think that people vote based on other people's opinions.

    Apparently, you didn't look further because, in House and Senate elections, all Trump-endorsed candidates won except one.

    A good example of politics always having opposing facts. The left says 50/50. You say all but one. I guess one can just pick one and go with it.

    If I'm understanding you correctly, it's *impressive* that loudmouth, narcissistic bully has gaslighted and whipped people into submission to the point they don't want to think for themselves or question his long laundry list of unethical, immoral and/or illegal behavior? Good to know.

    Why are we wasting time teaching children that honesty, decency, understanding and honor are important when these types of "people" are put on pedestals? He is the antithesis of everything we **claim** to stand for as a country.

    Yet he is still an accurate reflection of the average American regardless of party. Sadly, we deserve him.

    @Curious Always posted about two years ago that "we get the government we deserve.". Sadly, like you, she is correct.

    When people call trump names, I see his reflection in them. I wish I was wrong.

    I haven’t looked yet but I’m hypothesizing most of the races his candidates lost in were in states with Open Primaries.

    Worthless POS
    Traitor to his country

    None of those are me. I have never lied, used, manipulated, exploited or intentionally harmed another living being (I even take spiders outside) but if that helps you in some way, cool.

    I may not admire the name calling, but I have a lot of respect for those who value life no matter how small. Catching and releasing spiders is one thing we have in common. They scare my wife, so I got her a vacuum bug rescuer.

    Like Trump or hate him, you have to admire the man for getting out there and putting his ideas before the people. And you also have to admire the candidates that stand side-by-side with Trump on the campaign trail.
