Here's the beginning of the thread:
"Trump has endorsed 11 Republicans running for Governor, 31 House candidates and 13 Senate candidates and I've screenshot every one of them and will let him know every one that loses."









Sorry, non-twitterers, since it's mostly pasted screenshots, can't get the rest of the thread in this post. It's worth a scroll if you can go to Twitter.

He was a Trumper that didn't even live in NV until a few years ago, had a very recognizable Nevada family name. (Actually father is Pete Domenici, sen from NM. He was, as Wikipedia puts it: 'was born as a result of an extramarital liaison').

He moved from the east coast and tried to ride the Laxalt family name into the governorship. I'm guessing he thought it was going to be handed to him on a silver platter, especially after he got elected to NVAG pretty handily.

Good riddance!

The Con no longer knows them. He only mentioned those who didn't support him and lost.
