DAVE BOSSIE: Trump Needs More Conservative Change Agents In Senate

Political observers know how difficult it’s been to elect true, steel-spined conservatives to the United States Senate. Even though there’s been some success starting with the Tea Party movement in 2010, reinforcements since then – with a handful of exceptions – have been few and far between.  That’s why when an opportunity to dramatically upgrade a precious Senate seat with a rock-solid America first change agent presents itself, failure isn’t an option.

President Donald Trump needs like-minded America first stalwarts in the U.S. Senate; a new generation of leaders who are willing to cut spending to deal with our $38 trillion debt and enact long overdue election integrity and census reforms.  The president’s powerful endorsement of conservative superstar Rep. Julia Letlow of Louisiana in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Louisiana over RINO incumbent Sen. Bill Cassidy is both a game changer and a clear signal to other GOP candidates still in the race.

In a ruby red state, earning Trump’s support is all-important, particularly now that Louisiana has made the jump to a closed primary system. Not only did Trump carry Louisiana overwhelmingly in three straight elections, recent polling indicates that an incredible 88 percent of Republican primary voters in the Pelican State have a favorable opinion of him.  There’s no two ways about it, ignoring data like this would amount to political malpractice for other contenders for the seat.

With Trump’s full-throated endorsement of Letlow, the remaining Republican candidates in the race should clear the field so Letlow can focus solely on defeating Cassidy, which is the mission at hand. While the field of Republican challengers in the contest are all patriotic Americans, it’s time to read the writing on the wall and follow the lead of State Representative Julie Emerson who exited the race due to the political reality of the situation.

Emerson was right when she said, “With Congresswoman Letlow’s entrance into the race, the path to victory that was viable a couple of months ago has diminished…I support President Trump and respect his decision to endorse Julia Letlow to defeat Bill Cassidy.”  Emerson is spot on in her analysis.  In a head-to-head match-up, Letlow will bury Cassidy by a wide margin and finally give Louisianans what they want – another reform-minded and conservative Trump-supporting United States Senator.
