Virginia 5th District

Updated 12:12 a.m. ET


Two-term incumbent Rep. Bob Good (R) is in a tough primary fight against state Sen. John J. McGuire III. The candidates have battled over who is more conservative and better aligned with Donald Trump, but McGuire is the one with the former president’s endorsement. Three candidates are running in the Democratic primary.

Republican primary
McGuire is leading by 327 votes with 97.8 percent of votes counted.

Votes received and percentages of total vote

Candidate           Votes       Pct.
John J. McGuire    31,411   50.3
Bob Good *          31,084   49.7

Bob Good is the staunchly Conservative candidate.  McGuire is the GOP Establishment candidate, backed by Kevin McCarthy and Donald Trump.

Of course

The new GOP stands for nothing except loyalty to Trump
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

The new GOP stands for America First and with Donald Trump.  So, too, should his Republican Congressional caucus.

And, we ain't kidding.

That’s what  I said

It stands for nothing but loyalty to Donald Trump. Thanks for making my point.

Loyalty to the American people not to Trump himself.  Trump is representing the American People should he be elected.

It's either loyalty to Trump or the DEMS. 

Every American and every politician representing them should be loyal to our Constitution and its flag.

We can already see what a second Donald Trump term would look like

There will be nothing but those who have sworn loyalty to  Donald Trump. For example, nobody will dare tell him that you can’t print trillions of dollars out of thin air and throw it in the economy without causing inflation. Nobody will dare tell him that if you place tariffs on imports, it will harm the economy and raise costs on American businesses and consumers. Or who will dare tell him that a weak dollar will raise costs further on American consumers, especially with inflation already raging

And this will put some  congressional Republicans in a tough spot. Even if they instinctively know that these issues are bad for the country, they’ll have the MAGA movement breathing down their neck. And all Bob Good did was just simply endorse somebody else in the primary that’s been done in primaries before and his groveling before Trump didn’t help

And what happens when Trump tries to revive his Universal childcare proposal from 2016? Guaranteed to be cheered on by MAGAs but they would scream if Biden did the same thing


MAGAs and conservatives are just gonna have to part ways. We tend to favor a sound currency, limited federal government, and, If not, a true balance budget, at least  bringing down debt the GDP ratio to about what it was in the early 2000’s

MAGAs want to grow it as a tool for retribution. I can understand that to a degree. The problem is when Trump leaves office, he’ll leave the infrastructure for the next Democrat president, which will follow a Trump presidency, to use it even further against his or her opponents

What is really needed is a series of draconian cuts in the size and scope of the Federal Government, with a reduction in regulations and regulatory capacity commensurate with the narrowly defined powers granted in the Constitution.

It won't happen, but there's the bar.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The Constitution does not have a better champion in Congress than Bob Good.  He has a 100% rating from the Heritage Foundation.  This is the type of legislator we want in Congress.

    Rep. Bob Good


Session Score - 100%
Lifetime Score - 100%

Average Republican - 74%

https://heritageaction.com/scorecard/members/G000595/




Personally, I think America as a whole is better off with people like Bob Good in office.  And clearly, Establishment RINOs like Kevin McCarthy and Donald Trump believe that Conservatives like Good pose a much bigger threat than fellow Establishment types, or even Democrats.

This is a primary election.  And an incumbent Republican who happens to be unwavering in his support for Conservatism and the Constitution itself just got primaried by a bunch of Establishment sphincters because he dared vote against Kevin McCarthy after McCarthy sold us all out.

How in the hell does anyone expect America to get any better when our own party leaders do this to us?  Funny how when Conservatives tried to primary Mitch McConnell, Trump came to the incumbent's rescue.  But with Bob Good, Trump worked overtime to get him removed.  To hell with that.

Looks like this is going to a recount

The only two reasons to vote against Bob Goode is if you’re a democrat/leftist or a Trump loyalist.

Trump loyalist can’t say that he sided with Democrats more than  Republicans on key issues as a reason for them to oppose him because their guy running for president is guilty of that


So this is nothing more than blind loyalty to Donald Trump

Trump wants people that just say “yes yes yes” to him. Look at the thread over tariffs as an example. Despite them being an utter failure the first time, Trump and his cult want even broader and larger ones.

And Trump supporters are not satisfied with a nearly $8 trillion debt. They believe Trump can do better than that if he gets a second round.

The problem with people like Bob Good from the MAGA perspective is there’s a danger of his principles getting the best of him on issues were he could end up saying no to some of Trump’s suicidal economic and fiscal decisions

Trump saddled the American people with $8 trillion in new debt in only four years.  That's over $24,000 for every man, woman, and child in America.  That's not my idea of "representing the American people".

Looks like this is going to a recount

History has shown that any recount performed in the Commonwealth of Virginia will with 100% certainty favor the Democrat Party.  Which means that Bob Good is toast.

Trump and the Democrats are on the same side here.

Not going to happen with McGuire, Stefanik, and Emmer running the show.  These people are actively opposed to what you want.  Trump made sure the progressives would remain in charge of the Senate also.

The first is flatly inconsistent with the second statement.  Loyalty to Trump is neither loyalty to the Constitution nor to the flag.
