It's a massacre ... sweet revenge.

Indiana Republican voters decisively sided with President Donald Trump’s call for political vengeance against state senators who defied him and voted down congressional redistricting.
Results from Tuesday’s primaries showed at least five Republican senators defeating challengers endorsed by Trump, with another Trump-backed candidate winning an open seat primary. Only one of the eight senators opposed by pro-redistricting groups — Greg Goode of Terre Haute — was a certain winner.
Those incumbent senators defeated were Travis Holdman of Markle, Jim Buck of Kokomo, Linda Rogers of Granger, Dan Dernulc of Highland and Greg Walker of Columbus. All their challengers received 60% of the vote or more, according to preliminary tallies compiled by The Associated Press.
The races in which Sens. Spencer Deery of West Lafayette and Rick Niemeyer of Lowell faced challengers were too close to call by about 10 p.m. Tuesday.
Gov. Mike Braun, who joined Trump in endorsing their challengers, cheered the results.
“Historic night for Indiana as Republicans stood with me and President Trump to nominate some great America First conservatives,” said a Braun social media post. “I look forward to winning big in November and serving Hoosiers with this team in the statehouse!”
Senate leadership could be in turmoil
The results could jeopardize Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray’s hold on the top Senate leadership position he’s held since 2018.
Trump repeatedly blasted Bray and GOP senators who opposed the push to redraw Indiana’s U.S. House maps to carve up the two districts held by Democrats with the aim of a 9-0 Republican congressional delegation.

Pay attention Thune. You have 2 years left unless you change your ways.

The incumbants that lost are saying their vote against redistricting was overwhelmingly what their constituents wanted. That doesn’t seem to reconcile with tonight’s vote. Glad we got something right in Indiana.

He's about to be Mitt Romney'd regardless.
He's literally shite on everyone.
He's stone cold RINO.
Let's forget about the SAVE Act for a moment.
His refusal to make any recess appointments will be what does him in .... he's neutered Trump's ability to fill vacant Federal bench seats in the face of all these Biden and Obama activist judges, who were recess and auto pen appointments (including KBJ with the auto pen) ... who are running interference against Trump at every turn.
Thune is toast either way.

The best part of this asswhooping laid on the Indiana RINOS tonight is .....
.... Mike Pence is done.
His run for POTUS is 2028 just became a non-starter. He's dead in the water before ever getting underway.

Who/where was the only one that won, and was the race close? Would be interesting to see if he got a reality check or staying cocky cause of the win.
There was an interview with one of them where he said he didn't regret his vote against redistricting. Don't remember his name. I wonder if he lost.

No. They are worse.
That should be obvious.

Here is a quote from Greg Walker. He is not my state senator but is for a large portion of the county I live in.
Walker said he didn’t know how redistricting supporters might try to insert themselves into his race.
“I’ve seen a lot of implied or explicit threats or implied or explicit rewards, but I don’t see a lot of evidence on follow through from outside forces,” Walker said.
Well I wonder if he sees the evidence now. 20 year state senator gone.
