Far-right candidate Laura Loomer wins GOP primary for district that covers Mar-a-Lago

Conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer has decisively won the Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives seat that represents President Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.

The district, currently represented by Democratic Congresswoman Lois Frankel, is heavily Democratic, so her chances of winning the seat in November are slim. But Loomer's overwhelming victory against five other Republican rivals was decisive.

Loomer was endorsed by Representative Matt Gaetz, a firebrand Trump supporter from Florida.

This should be fun...

1. And Trump is officially a resident of that district.

Will he campaign for Laura Loomer? It's time for the press to start asking him.

4. He endorsed her so why not.

She has zero chance and that’s if all democratic supporters stay home.

[FM123]

21. Yep, you are so right. Zero chance.

Trump-a-Lago or not, Palm Beach County is blue. There are 419,586 registered Democrats to only 278,689 repugs....

2. Let me quickly apprise you all about the powers of Lois Frankel. My apt. building has been empty/

evacuated since June 14. We are still in hotels all over West Palm. One call to Lois and things started to happen. Still not home
yet but inspections (many, thankfully) are happening. She is great, former mayor here and was a great walking partner. Loomer will
not go anywhere.

19. Yup, same

My parents had an issue, I called her office at around 1130 am, someone called my parents by 1145 am, and the issue (which was quite complicated) was resolved by 230 pm the same day. I am always very happy to vote for her.

[monmouth4]

20. Me too, she is a doer and a fun person. I like her so much..n/t

3. Guido Weiss, Frankel's primary challenger, got more votes than Loomer did

And Rep. Frankel STILL won by a large margin.

I'm not going to bet on Crackpot Loomer winning.

5. Matt Gaetz is a 'firebrand'? HA!!

Matt Gaetz is a ‘Block head’, not a firebrand.

[Roy Rolling]

14. Oh yeah

He’s a firebrand the same way Trump “walks the walk” as a loudmouth, war chickenhawk with bone spurs.

6. Is it a tryout for RW hate radio?

[Sherman A1]

16. palm beach, mara largo is limbaugh country. they need local blowhards too

9. I saw Repubs on twitter celebrating this and acted like she would win the general election

None of them seemed to realize it's a heavy Dem district.

My impression of Loomer from when she was still on twitter is that she's deeply stupid.

[Kaiserguy]

11. This is just how insane the GOP has become

the nuttier the better when it comes to who and what they want to represent them.

[certainot]

17. about 30 years ago local party and candidates started jumping on the limbaugh bandwagon

everyday team limbaugh laid out a smorgasbord of increasingly irrational putin-friendly fake news, lies, excuses and distortions for them to pick from - many in the trump orbit are dittoheads - guys like miller and mulvaney are proud admitted 'rush babies'

media needs to start asking all these shits - meadows, jordan, etc what they think of limbaugh and they'll take the baiot cause he's dying. get them on record praising him and then expose the limbaugh putin connection that must exist - whether limbaugh knows he's used of not - unless dr fiona hill is an idiot

[LymphocyteLover]

23. Truly... though I also heard Stephanie Miller this morning

saying Loomer would make it to Congress... I don't know if she just saw some bad info or what

[RandiFan1290]

10. Keep dreaming

She has zero chance of winning in the 21st

[MineralMan]

13. Laura LooNer. LOL!

C'est pour rire!

[turbinetree]

15. So Trump is using his resort as a home residence................thought he couldn't do that ........

and plus he got his mail n ballot........to vote for this person.......... so where does he fucking live as a resident............which state..............

[yaesu]

18. the fascists don't want governance, they just want to destroy everything, turn the country into

one big corporate owed tax haven for their filthy wall street money.

22. Not clear how she got out of the handcuffs...
