A Bagger Loses Her Primary in NC

I touched on this yesterday, and it turns out that a Tea-Bagger did in fact lose her seat last night.  The best part?  This particular Bagger was endorsed by Donald Trump:
Since becoming the presumptive GOP nominee, Donald Trump has almost entirely ignored the down-ticket races in his party. But he did go out of his way to support Rep. Renee Ellmers, a Tea Party Republican running for reelection in North Carolina’s second district. Trump made robocalls for Ellmers, and she touted his endorsement in e-mails to her supporters.

Early Tuesday evening, Ellmers lost her primary to George Holdings, a Tea Party-backed congressional representative who, thanks to gerrymandering in North Carolina, was drawn into the same district as Ellmers.
Of course, trading one Bagger for another doesn't necessarily help matters much, but there it is.
