ANTI TRUMP PETER MEIJER WHO VOTED FOR IMPEACHMENT LOSES PRIMARY RACE IN SHOCKING UPSET

IAN MACDONALD  |  AUGUST 3, 2022



Cook Political’s Dave Wasserman was shocked to see U.S. House Rep Peter Meijer (R-MI) lose his Republican primary to John Gibbs.

Wasserman went on to detail how anti-Trump Republicans are at risk of becoming an endangered species so to speak.

“Meijer is the second pro-impeachment Republican to lose a primary (four others opted to retire). With no realistic primary path for #WYAL Rep. Liz Cheney (R), there will be at most 3/10 pro-impeachment Rs remaining in the House in 2023.

I’ve seen enough: Trump-endorsed John Gibbs (R) defeats pro-impeachment Rep. Peter Meijer (R) in the #MI03 GOP primary and will face Hillary Scholten (D) in November. Rating change: @CookPolitical will be moving #MI03 from Toss Up to Lean D.”  .  .  .

I disagree with Cook Political's new assessment.  Gibbs has a great shot at winning in November.

Don't have to.  Michigan 3rd went from R+9 to D+3 after redistricting, so it was going to be close.  The dems interfered to assist the less viable challenger.

If it is now D+3, then what difference does it make that Meijer is not the GOP candidate?  Are you suggesting Meijer would win in November while Gibbs will not?  And what evidence do you have that Democrats helped Gibbs defeat Meijer?

Trump's brand was weak around Grand Rapids.  He did worse than any Republican since Barry Goldwater, and it was one of the reasons he lost the state in 2020.  The dems bankrolled Meijer's trumpy challenger in order to flip the seat.

I didn't ask you about Trump.  I asked you about Gibbs.  And again, what evidence do you have that Democrats bankrolled Gibbs campaign?

The ad in the link is a negative ad against Gibbs.  That's not my idea of supporting a candidate.  The Democrats may think so, but then the Democrats are idiots.

BTW,Meijer is the young looking white guy.

BTW-2. Just out of curiosity,am I the only one thrilled to see black Republicans running for office and winning?

If the Dims lose the black vote,it's over for them.

Interesting.  I will look into that.

@Hoodat

So what if they did?

That is the sort of thing that can backfire on you.

No to your first sentence. And that goes for Hispanics.

The Democrats know that they cannot afford to lose any of the black vote and that’s why they’ve engaged so heavily into racial politics
