Big news.
According to a new Politico report, Trump is set to begin vetting candidates from Mar-a-Lago.
According to three people
familiar with the planning, Trump will soon begin vetting candidates at
Mar-a-Lago who are eager to fulfill his promise to exact vengeance upon
incumbent Republicans who’ve scorned him, and to ensure every open GOP
seat in the 2022 midterms has a MAGA-approved contender vying for it.
Trump already has received dozens of
requests from prospective candidates seeking to introduce themselves and
nab his endorsement, and formal meetings with them could begin as early
as March. Now that Trump has survived his second Senate impeachment
trial, he has shifted his focus to post-presidential activism — a
venture mostly bankrolled by his new leadership PAC, Save America, which
had $31 million in its coffers at the start of this month.
Earlier this week, Trump met with his
former campaign manager Brad Parscale to discuss online fundraising
components to support his efforts and how he can utilize social media
despite his ban from popular websites like Twitter. Trump also met with
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), and his eldest son Don Jr.
earlier this week.
“We are in the process of putting
together a more formal schedule for candidates who want to come get his
endorsement,” said senior Trump adviser Jason Miller, noting that
Trump’s meetings so far have been limited to golf friends, Mar-a-Lago
members and “folks with the ability to contact him themselves.”
This is terrible news for the weak GOP establishment.
The only people who support them are the Big Donors who they serve.
At this point, Trump is more popular than Reagan with GOP voters.

The bottom line is that the party will go where he goes. An endorsement from the establishment will mean almost nothing.
A Trump endorsement will mean a win it is that simple. |
