Much noise is being made about the fact that Kemp and Raffensperger won their primaries over Trump backed candidates. All the RINO’s and Never Trumpers and the left are claiming that it means that Trump is not the kingmaker anymore. First, he’s something like 106 wins to 5 losses. Not too shabby. But the real point is that Trump had no choice but to endorse the opposition and they had no chance to win.

In 2020 both Kemp and Raffensperger took the position that the election was perfect — nothing to see here — because they didn’t want to take responsibility for the corruption that took place. Raffensperger even went so far as to say that the video showing suitcases of ballots being pulled out after everyone left and counted in some cases three times was standard procedure and to the best of my knowledge, that’s still the go to for claiming it had been debunked.

Trump wasn’t happy and rightly so and made a suggestion that maybe you shouldn’t bother in the senate runoffs because your vote probably wouldn’t count and that resulted in the Dems picking up both seats and control of the senate. Bad mistake.

What happened in the ensuing two years tells you all you need to know about why primaries went the way they did. The governor and the secretary of state knew that the election had been corrupted as more and more evidence came out and while not admitting anything, they passed comprehensive voting reform to ensure that future elections be legitimate. You know it as Jim Crow 2.0 ! It was widely popular and even resulted in a massive increase in voter turnout and not suppression.

So now you had two popular incumbents who Trump could never endorse because he feels they did him wrong and some others who didn’t stand a chance and Trump should have stayed out of it but his ego wouldn’t let him. This has nothing to do with his overall popularity and everything to do with an a losing vendetta. Like everything Trump, it will be blown out of proportion by the TDS crowd.
