You know how he got the President's endorsement? Back dooring it. That's how.

There were candidates, sitting members of congress, who stepped and said they would run. As soon as Whatley heard this, he tapped a couple of RINOish congressmen to call Trump and back door his… pic.twitter.com/lUWxKYsWlo
I heard a Don Brown ad on the radio. He ought to be interviewed on the War Room or by Gaetz. A state that Trump won easily will be lost to Mr. Lockdown, Cooper.
It appears, J. Sobran, Whatley is not doing well in the polls vs. Cooper; and Cooper’s fundraising dwarfs that of Whatley. These are not good signs.
Whatley is already running a campaign that threatens to put everyone asleep. Rather than charging in at Democrat Cooper’s vulnerabilities, and they are numerous, he is putting out messages about what a nice guy he (Whatley) is. His website is about as dull as one can be. And where is all the legendary fund raising prowess?
I agree, W.E. James. It’s still early, but the campaign has been unimpressive. There is a large field in the primary, mostly with unknowns. I hope Michelle Morrow’s entry does not derail Don Brown.
Much better candidates out there than Whatley. Maybe a golden horse will come riding though the fog.
The field is a bit crowded, Fred, but some of the names will be unrecognizable to the general public. Brown and Morrow are the only other candidates with name recognition or a reasonable chance of defeating Whatley, but the fact that both are in the field creates an issue.
