Trump tells cheering crowd daughter-in-law Lara IS running for the Senate
2021-03-14
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Big Dog Ranch Rescue held a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago on Friday night to rescue canines from China

  • Trump was walking by the event and decided to take to the stage to deliver an impromptu speech

  • The former President touted himself as a dog lover and said he had many meetings about 'saving dogs' while working in the Oval Office

  • He also acknowledged the presence of his daughter-in-law, Lara, at the event and stated that she may be making a Senate run in 2022
    May be is not is...
  • There has been speculation that Lara could attempt to take the seat of North Carolina Senator Richard Burr, who is not seeking reelection next year

#10  Until lice such as Cheney, McConnell, Graham, Romney, Murkowski, et al., are driven out by the RNC, I will think twice about voting for a GOP'er.

#9  President Trump trolling the Progs. The Legend continues.

We'll see how seriously they take it when Nancy makes a response move.

#8  And not that Lindsey is any prize; but his opponent was under the illusion that he was running for mayor of Boston.

#7  We moved across the border to SC a few years ago because NC was getting so nutty.

The Republican candidate only won the Senate race last November because one month before the election it turned out that Cal Cunningham, the Democrat, was fooling around with his wife with at least 2 other women--and, credit where credit is due, WRAL in Raleigh called him on it. Even then, it was a very close call.

In SC, even Lindsey won with 57% of the vote.

#6  This is a really bad idea...NC has been trending blue for awhile now...and the anti-Trump vote is the fuel the D political machine needs to win that Senate seat. I am not sure what any sane conservative in NC would see in a rich TV producer whose only accomplishment is to marry a Trump. All of the conservatives in NC that I know (and I know a lot of them) identify with working class conservatives like themselves...former military, LE, emergency services... The Senate has very few veterans - we need more of those and fewer folks that successfully avoided service but aspire to be ruling class.

She may have NC roots, but the Wrightsville Beach area is not a conservative hot spot if ya know what I mean...not much of a base to build on.

#5  ^ Yes. Carpetbagging has gone poorly for Repubs since the end of Reconstruction.

#4  ^ & by the way, she's a legal resident of NY (Westchester Co). So run against Gillibrand.

#3  ^ OK, should have done my homework before bloviating. She does have NC roots, but dynasties are still a bad idea.

#2  So carpet-bagging is alive and well? Seems to me the position requires you to be an actual resident of the state you represent, hopefully for a long time, not just a fiction of legal residency. If she wants to run in the state she's actually been living in, then fine.

In general I'm not in favor of ANY dynasty.
N.B. - Meghan McCain, Liz Cheney, any of the Kennedy brood, Jeb!, FDR, do I need to go on?

#1  Is that NC seat winnable by a rookie with controversy due to her name? NC is highly competitve due to the fraud in the Dem controlled cities. Need overwhelming local support, and that means need the best native to the area.

Try Mark Meadows, served as Congressional Rep and won a few times, resigned to become Trump's Chief of Staff, was Tea Party and stayed true Trump supporter, but doesn't have as much baggage in-state as Laura Trump would have, and has a better rep and already knows how to campaign in the state.

Laura would be a big mistake, and the Senate race is not the place to make such mistakes. President Trump needs to gently redirect her. Maybe run for Congress Rep, or a State Wide office instead, to lay the groundwork for a few years down the road, get to know the ins and outs of local campaigning, and learn who the Dem/Lefty power brokers are in NC, and how to counter them in the state-wide races as well as learning how the GOP wiorks in that state to win state wide races.

Big Mistake by The Donald if true.
