While the MAGA movement hasn’t won every primary pitting a moderate Republican (usually identifying as a Trump conservative) versus a MAGA candidate, there have been some noticeable victories. This past Tuesday, Bob Onder, a former state senator and leader in the Missouri Senate Conservative Caucus, defeated more moderate former state senator Kurt Schaefer in Missouri’s Third Congressional District primary. Retiring Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer opposed Onder succeeding him and supported Schaefer. President Trump endorsed Bob Onder who has campaigned in both Missouri and Iowa for Trump. Onder should easily win the general election in this solid Republican district and be a welcome addition the House Freedom Caucus.
“Onder is a physician who ran for Congress and lost to Luetkemeyer in 2008. During his two terms as a member of the Missouri Senate, he earned a reputation as one of the most vocal members of the self-styled conservative caucus, upending the chamber by filibustering a litany of bills, including congressional redistricting, needle exchanges for addicts and Medicaid financing.”
“Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust.’
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
-Star Spangled Banner
