Trump had nothing to do with it. she was history when the supposed affair with mccarthy came out.
No one i knew wanted her to keep her seat.

My mom was going crazy happy, a little bit ago in the car when the local news was telling it. :silly:

Trump endorsed her LAST WEEKEND!!!   And she endorsed Trump.  What killed her was her stalling on the pro-life bill that would have prevented abortion after 20 weeks.

Shows Trump has zero coattails; he has no ability to get anyone over the top.  He is an unmitigated disaster.

I'd agree he most probably doesn't. She bought the political farm with her leftist voting and knifing her voters repeatedly. But I doubt he helped her cause.

SORRY DONALD!! Trump’s FIRST congressional endorsement TROUNCED in primary!!


Renee Elmers, the open border amnesty-lover incumbent who Trump endorsed has apparently lost BIG TIME tonight.

Yay

George Holding for the win!

(districts were merged, they were both incumbents)

AP Excerpt
Quote
RALEIGH, N.C.

Republican U.S. Rep. George Holding won the year's only congressional primary between incumbents, ousting Rep. Renee Ellmers on Tuesday from a redrawn district that includes much of the territory that elected him before.

The final weeks of the race became a feud on the airwaves over conservative credentials, with heavy spending by the two candidates and more than $1 million from outside groups attacking Ellmers.

Holding won by a wide margin over Ellmers and doctor Greg Brannon. It was the first time two sitting members of Congress have run against each other since 2012

If this is any indication of November - Trump will be TROUNCED.

And rightfully so.

We're done with Liberal Leftists. 

No matter what party they graft themselves onto.

Even with one man in the race Trump is getting just 70% of the vote in New Mexico so far. People are going out of their way to vote for candidates who dropped out over this freak show.

You can bet at least a quarter to a third of the GOP won't vote for this guy in November.

That's great news.  Holding is a rock solid conservative.

Unfortunately, a crook won my district (9th) so I have to find a third party candidate in that race as well.

Again, Trump had nothing to do with it.  No one here likes her in the burbs, for various reasons. Yes she was called out on the pro life bill

She endorsed him, because she knows/knew NC is trump country, and she was drowning!
His endorsement was last minute and just reciprocal.

Renee Elmers was the first Congressperson to endorse Trump.
Great News!

Over at TOS, several were supporting Trump's endorsement of Ellmers, some even supporting her themselves:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3436977/posts
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3437069/posts

but today, they are happy she lost:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3437890/posts
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3437896/posts

How are they going to continue to support a man who endorses people they want to lose?

America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign. -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Yup!

When the news was announced, my buddy looked at me and said, deadpan, "Well, I guess they already got tired of winning."
