Her flyers touted her Trump endorsement and continuing his America First agenda. Don't know if he is much better, but he was criticized by her backers in the primary as being a "Never Trumper." The lesser of two evils.
Don't know for sure if he is a "Never Trumper" but it was alleged that he took campaign contributions from them.

Trump endorsed the defeated Susan Wright, mentioned her in his AZ speech last weekend while calling it a very important race, and held a television town hall for her last night, urging TX Republicans to vote for her.

(19,204 posts)Defeat Trump's hand picked candidates, and show everyone Trump is totally unelectable, then they stop sending him money.
That's the only reason MF45 stops his egocentric grift. When the collective ignorant people of the country stop donating to the Orange Con Man, he goes away. For good, and his asshole children go with him.
Good riddance, asshole.
