An administration of loosers!

[planosteve]

Trump hasn’t even taken office yet, and he’s already named at least 17 electoral losers to join his administration. They include:

Secretary of State
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio lost the 2016 GOP presidential primary to Trump, highlighted by an infamous debate performance before New Hampshire Republicans went to the polls.

Secretary of Education
Connecticut Republican Linda McMahon lost Senate bids in 2010 (to Democrat Richard Blumenthal) and 2012 (to Democrat Christopher S. Murphy).

Secretary of Labor
Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer lost reelection this month to Democrat Janelle Bynum, 48 percent to 45 percent, in Oregon’s 5th District. She also lost two earlier races for the Oregon House to Bynum, in 2016 and 2018.

Secretary of the Interior
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum sought the 2024 GOP presidential nomination but ended his bid late last year.

Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Former Georgia Rep. Doug Collins lost a 2020 special election for Senate in Georgia, finishing behind Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Kelly Loeffler. Loeffler, who was apparently under serious consideration to be Trump’s next Agriculture secretary, lost to Warnock in a runoff.

Secretary of Defense
Military veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth ran for Senate in Minnesota in 2012 but dropped out before the primary. The former Princeton Tigers guard also lost to North Carolina in the first round of the 2001 NCAA March Madness basketball tournament, 70-48.

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
Scott Turner lost a 2006 House special election in California to succeed disgraced Republican Rep. Duke Cunningham, finishing eighth out of 17 candidates with 1.5 percent of the vote. Turner subsequently moved to Texas and was elected to the state Legislature in 2012, although he subsequently lost a race for state House speaker three years later.

Secretary of Health and Human Services
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was on his way to losing the 2024 Democratic primary to Biden before dropping out to run as an independent in the general election, which he would have lost to Trump had he not dropped out a few months before Election Day.

Environmental Protection Agency administrator
Former New York Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin lost a spirited 2022 race for New York governor to Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul, 53 percent to 47 percent.

U.S. ambassador to NATO
Matthew Whitaker lost a 2002 race for Iowa treasurer, 55 percent to 43 percent, to Democrat Michael Fitzgerald. He also lost a bid for Senate in 2014, finishing in fourth place with 8 percent in the GOP primary won by Joni Ernst.

Director of National Intelligence
Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator
Celebrity physician and TV personality Mehmet Oz defeated Dave McCormick in the 2022 GOP Senate primary in Pennsylvania before losing the general election to Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. (McCormick won the commonwealth’s other Senate seat this year.)

U.S. ambassador to Canada
Former Rep. Pete Hoekstra lost the 2010 GOP primary for Michigan governor to Rick Snyder and the 2012 Senate race to Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow.

U.S. ambassador to Israel
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee lost a 1992 race for lieutenant governor and ran unsuccessfully for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008 and 2016.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director
Former Florida Rep. Dave Weldon lost the 2012 Republican nomination for Senate to Rep. Connie Mack IV. Earlier this year, he also lost a GOP primary for the Florida House by 30 points to state Sen. Debbie Mayfield.

Department of Government Efficiency co-leader
Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy ran unsuccessfully for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.

White House press secretary
Karoline Leavitt lost a 2022 race for New Hampshire’s 1st District to Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas, 54 percent to 46 percent.

It’s time for your chocolate pudding.

Please report to the GGH.

Damn, we could've had the Cackler. She's so great that she's never even received a single vote in a primary.

Because, as most people know, she didn’t run in the primary.
I guess you missed the memo.

Some administrations are looser than others.

Indeed, "All Leftists lack critical thinking skills."

(And reading comprehension skills, too.)

The Cackler was out before Iowa in 2020.

Dumbass Democrats are content to let the power brokers install their candidates. It's now happened three election cycles in a row.

Ah, wonderful. An elder basher. One thing that's been missing here.

It’s quicker, easier and nicer than going through your ridiculous original post on this thread..line by line.

By the way, how was the pudding?

Yes, she dropped out before Iowa, due to lack of finances. So she wasn’t actually in a primary to be voted on.

She never received a single vote in ANY primary. She dropped out before the humiliation of getting 1% in a weak field.

And she knew she was going to lose her home state of California..badly.. along with every other state.
