Tuesday's Republican primary winners just Trumpy enough

If Tuesday night’s Republican primary winners were not like Moore, they were not exactly rejecting Trump either. Rep. Jim Renacci, who won the GOP primary to challenge Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, was Trump’s handpicked candidate.

Businessman and former state Rep. Mike Braun easily won the Republican nomination to take on Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., running on a pro-Trump platform. Braun positioned himself as an outsider and blasted the two sitting members of Congress he was running against as the “Swamp Brothers,” in reference to Trump’s “Drain the Swamp” mantra concerning D.C.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, the Republican who won the senatorial primary while Blankenship imploded, has defended Trump from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. Both he and second-place finisher Rep. Evan Jenkins, R-W. Va., went out of their way to appear with Trump in the state last month.
