You don’t see HHTM posting threads do you? That’s your answer. It’s like when a person of color commits a crime and the newspaper doesn’t give a description of the suspect

I too would like to know how valuable his endorsements were. He probably endorsed 95% of the winners, but that raw figure in meaningless because he mostly just endorsed people who were winning anyway.
The question is “How many races did Trump TURN by endorsing someone who was losing, and turn them into the winner?” (e.g. Vance).
it could be “alot” and it could be “almost none,” but that IS the relevant question.

If one of his backed candidates loses, you’d see it everywhere. Just wait for your iPhone to sound an update that a Trumped backed primary candidate lost…..

He backed the candidates who espoused the policies he ran on in 2016 - which reflect what the majority of the conservative voting base wants.

At a minimum, his endorsement doesn't hurt their chances. Meaning people value Trumps opinion, and doesn't give people pause to vote for the candidate he endorses.
What is that a relevant question anyways. . . because the almighty Hank asked the question?

I mean, how public are these endorsements even? Is he doing rallies with any of these folks? Or is he just throwing a post up on Truth and letting it fly
Honest question

No it couldn't. It could be "a lot" though.

Turned on CNN and they are only talking about Jan 6 subpoena of Cipiloni, and Kansas abortion; nothing really in the election, so a Huge night for Trump candidates….. You can tell, lol

Yes.
ETA - and I would imagine that he will continue to do so thru the Midterms.
His ppl have won primaries for R seats Federal elections in Az, Michigan, GA, PA, Ohio and Missouri.
He even did a rally for the blonde lady running against Murkowski in her primary in Alaska. That primary hasn’t happened yet.

A better question would be "how many turn coat RINOs were voted out of their seats by MAGA candidates supported by OMB"?

Best example is Vance.
Second best example - Dr. Oz (People on this board hate him. I’ve always liked Dr. Oz just in regular life. I like his philosophy on nutrition and health. The board hates him bc Oprah and something about transgenders and he took a picture with Michelle Obama. Anyway- he beat a Bush guy).
Masters (Az) won yesterday is another good example.
Ppl like you Hank who pose as moderates bc you find trump obnoxious, and not bc you have any particular disagreement with his policies - cannot seem to understand that his base is fiercely loyal and they trust him. They don’t trust republicans who aren’t endorsed by him bc they see it as a mark of an establishment backed candidate. The GOPe is embarrassed by its own base; the actual base got tired of having sand kicked in their faces.
Trump’s base is not just interested in beating the Democrat- they are interested in making sure that congress doesn’t turn into Tea Party part Deux, where they got stuck with John Boener or 2016 where they got stuck with fricking Paul Ryan.
The person who needs to be really nervous right now is Kevin McCarthy.
I continue to believe that Sarah Palin is coming for him. Talk about someone who has been screwed over by her own party.

This. But folks like Hank believe that the potato really got 81 million votes and there's no way Trump's politics can be the popular majority right?
Edit: responded to the wrong dude.
