In a 3-candidate primary, Cassidy came in third, the other 2 advance to a runoff. Trump's candidate, Julia Letlow, came in first.
Conceding, Cassidy said "I find that people of character and integrity don’t spend their time attacking people on the internet."

You were in politics dummy…he sounds like those sour grapes contestants on Survivor who get outplayed then claim they’re pleased they played the game with integrity. Losers you all are…
Keep 'em coming, President Trump!
If you were a person of character you’d have the character to recognize you lost because of your policies and you wouldn’t insult the people who voted you out with your Trump nonsense
I hope it scares the bejeesus out of the rest of them…
Now hop along, Bill. (If you’re not an early Boomer you won’t get it.)
I’m always touched when someone who has held political offices for the past 20 years waxes eloquent about “character” and “dignity” while complaining about badly losing an election. The reality is that he chose poorly and now has paid the price for that choice. At 68 he probably is too old to restart a medical career.
@Goldenpause, +1
Thanks for playing. Here's your lovely parting gift. Buhbye.
Massie is next.
The Republican majority in the House, and probably the Senate, is next. Throwing out the baby with the bath water.
Hop-a-Long Bill, yeah I get it.
Cassidy: “Yes, I voted to convict Trump, but you know, but now that my reelection is on the line, I love the man, his policies, his character, his comments ….”

…ah and there it is the perennial incumbent defense. That’s not what’s happening this cycle. Learn to read the room…
‘Trump’ gets ‘his’ revenge, hehe. That’s cool how the stupidest businessman in the world can pull levers and turn knobs and magically control who stays and who goes…
“Cassidy had the backing of Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the National Republican Senatorial Committee” (Gateway Pundit)
Tells you a lot about Thune and the swamp. I suspect Trump may have called Thune and advised him to change his Tune going forward.
REVENGE! REVENGE! That’s all the MSM & Trump’s adversaries cry as they fall one by one. How about they (the president’s political enemies) are receiving their deserved comeuppance, or perhaps justice has prevailed for their lying, cheating, underhanded, misguided deeds. We don’t need to reshuffle the deck full of corrupt, hate filled jokers. A new deal with a fresh deck should be our goal with Trump as the pit boss.
Do we say he was Indiana-ed?
With one exception, all the votes in the Senate are political; the exception is the vote to convict an impeached president. For that vote, every senator is a juror, and must vote based only on the facts of the case, and the law.
This man Cassidy voted to convict an innocent defendant in a criminal trial, for political reasons, and his constituents rightly punished him for it.
Last night Cassidy called it a lid.
I find that people of character and integrity don’t spend their time attacking people on the internet.
What a cutting thing to say about so many of his Dem colleagues.
Cassidy’s past caught up with him but his inability to move past his impeachment vote is 100% on him. No one else. He was asked many times that, given all we’ve learned about the Deep State interference in 2016, would he vote differently now? His stock answer sucks: “I’m not looking back 5 years I’m the candidate for the next 5 years.”
The base is pissed off at Republican Congresscritters who don’t support the elected Republican president. The Senate has done almost nothing in 16 months. People like Cassidy are the reason. We expect the opposition from Democrats. Impediments like Massie and Cassidy have worn out their welcome in this party.
That’s politics, Senator. Reward your friends and punish your enemies.
Why is it that the most vile scoundrels and corrupt, useless turds are invariably the ones who are most performative in their TDS? Maybe some of the libtards in the commentariat here can explain the reason.
He should have just said "Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine." CC, JSM
Key:

Yes. Thune was offered a great deal by Trump. In exchange for Trump endorsing Cornyn (a RINO Thune crony) both Senators would push the SAVE Act through but Thune turned it down. Seems he thought he was better at picking Senators than Trump. Now Thune will lose both allies of his and Trump gains motivated allies. Ones who are less likely to want starring roles in the ongoing Failure Theatre run by Thune.
“The Republican majority in the House, and probably the Senate, is next. Throwing out the baby with the bath water.”
Wrong thread, Hugh Manatee!
Let’s help Bloomberg rewrite the headline: Man Who Mistakingly Believed He Was A Lifetime Appointee Discovers He’s An Elected Official
Cassidy, “ “When you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to, but you don’t pout, you don’t whine, you don’t claim the election was stolen, you don’t find a reason why you lost,” Cassidy said, a likely reference to Trump and the 2020 election.”
Well, you do usually do an after-action or post-mortem.
Ben Sasse quit the Senate rather than face Nebraska voters after his impeachment vote. But he did get a better job at the University of FL.
Wrong thread, Hugh Manatee!
Oh!
Another globalist democrat traitor removed from the Republican party.
The best thing Trump has done is remove the masks from the Desantis/Romney/Bush wing of the Republican party.
The best part is Cassidy finishing 3rd in a 3-way race. Looks like his constituents moved on, so to speak.
I am democracy!
This needs my "revenge" tag.
Only a swamp lover can believe draining it is like emptying a bathtub with a baby in it. What a maroon. No babies were hurt in this strengthening of our bench.
Prediction: If Thune keeps blocking the SAVE Act he will not be majority leader in 2027.
CNN headline: "Trump sent a message by targeting Bill Cassidy. In defeat, Cassidy delivered one back"
Sure he did.
It’s weird how none of actions Biden overtly took to persecute Trump were ever called “revenge” or “retribution” or any of the multisyllabic slurs Corporate Media assigns without evidence to Trump.
"Revenge" is best served in a McDonalds' drive-thru.
Refusing to abet the crimes of the cult leader does have its consequences.

He will get his wish.
He planned on helping democrats win.
He will lose instead.
Gun control Cornyn is looking over his shoulder, as is perpetual thorn Massie.
