FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

(MANCHESTER, NH) (July 8, 2020)  

Dear Granite State Voter:

“Colorado Corky,” a/k/a “Porky” Messner is a drunk driver. The media have ignored and not reported Messner’s drinking problem, with one exception, Tony Schinella of Patch.com (please see Link [1] below).

Am I just airing dirty linen by writing these remarks? Not by a long shot. I will connect up the dots so you see where I am coming from and where I am going. Media corruption and political incompetence and corruption are endemic in New Hampshire.

First, I will show you how President Donald Trump was betrayed by his closest advisers in the White House.

Second, I will explain how the corrupt “Fake News” New Hampshire media will work in concert with the Democratic Party if Messner wins the primary. John DiStaso of WMUR and Kevin Landrigan of the Union leader are puppets of the New Hampshire Democratic Party.

Third, I will produce a list of questions for President Trump to ask Messner before Trump highlights Messner at next Saturday’s Trump rally. Tragically, Trump is almost certainly setting himself up to lose New Hampshire by ham-handedly intervening in the September primary, as I have suggested before.

Trump the non-drinker:

President Trump does not drink, not socially, not “just a little,” not just at all. So, for Trump, alcohol abuse is a serious matter, almost a phobia. A brother died from alcoholism. It left a lasting scar on the president.

1. President Trump the dupe and Messner the Drunk Driver

     a. Trump was betrayed by his own staff

          If someone had walked into the president’s office and asked if he was willing to endorse a wealthy candidate he didn’t know, in a state he had to win, but the candidate had a drunk driving conviction in his past, what would Trump have said? Probably “Hell No.”

But Trump’s staff maneuvered and engineered the fateful endorsement of Messner because Trump is easily and often fooled by his “advisers” where political matters are concerned. Trump has the weakest political operation of any president in recent history. That is why he regularly makes decisions and issues tweets that jeopardize his own reelection. So, Trump was played by his insiders, and now he is stuck with a drunk driver as a candidate he has endorsed and who can only cost him votes in New Hampshire if Porky Corky wins the primary. Sad. My guess: someone somewhere along the pipeline got paid off to get Trump’s endorsement.

     b. Messner’s drunk driving is a legitimate issue

          Almost no one who is arrested for drunk driving has had only “one too many” on only one occasion. By the time you are driving drunk outside the white lines on a street, the way Messner was, you have a serious alcohol problem. Drunk drivers do not suddenly appear, and then disappear after a single arrest. They usually get smarter and may insulate themselves from their alcohol abuse by using chauffeurs, designated drivers and car services. But they are doing so because they drink too much to be safe on the road.

Messner has apologized and said he only got arrested once. Good for him. But we are not concerned with his alcohol “bust;” rather, we are concerned with whether he is a candidate whom the Fake News media, DiStaso and Landrigan, will blow up just before the election to reelect Jeanne Shaheen.

2. Media whores in New Hampshire are Democratic Party puppets
         
     a. Am I exaggerating? Hell no!

          In 2000, just before the presidential election, the media ginned up an old drunk driving charge against Governor George W. Bush, please see Link [2] below. The Bush drunk driving matter was 25 years old. Messner’s drunk driving conviction? Almost twenty-five years ago. The Bush drunk driving kerfuffle is almost a template for 2020.

Do New Hampshire Democrats use old mud to smear candidates in 2020? You betcha. Please see Link [3] below. They are already doing it. They are masters of the craft.

     b. Local New Hampshire media corruption

          In 2016, I exposed before the September primary that a Republican candidate for congress in the Second District was a fraud. DiStaso and Landrigan held back my information until just before the November election, when they suddenly “discovered” my research and exposed/defeated the GOP candidate.

While the Union Leader pretends to be a “conservative” newspaper, it hasn’t been conservative since the end of Loeb family ownership. The current owners have to exist in an increasingly liberal, if not leftist, New Hampshire and so the owners and writers at the Union Leader accommodate the needs of the state Democratic Party.

WMUR is owned by the liberal descendants of the original “Fake News” publisher, William Randolph Hearst, and they are a bunch of liberal trust fund babies. WMUR is immensely profitable, unlike the Union Leader. WMUR’s Manchester employees follow diktats from their liberal midtown-New York bosses.

The state Republican Party’s leadership has been living in the past, when Republicans really ran the state; often leaders are not aware they are being “played” by the local media. But Democrats keep winning and Republicans keep losing and on and on it goes.

New Hampshire’s print media are either dead or dying; in such a state corruption always seeps in to prolong the survival of a newspaper.

DiStaso and Landrigan are obviously aware of Schinella’s story. But they are pretending the Patch story does not exist. Then, when Democrats unveil Messner’s drunk driving charge in October, WMUR and the Union Leader will report Messner’s conviction as “news.”

3. What questions should President Trump ask Messner before showcasing his toxic “endorsement” next Saturday?

Trump questions to Messner:

     a. What is your current level of alcohol consumption?

     b. Did you ever attend or seek assistance for an alcohol or substance abuse problem?

     c. Did you ever attend Alcoholics Anonymous?

     d. Have you ever used a car service or “designated driver” (not yourself) when you were attending an event where alcohol is served?

     e. Are there people in Colorado, where you live, who are potential witnesses to your drinking habits? (Andy Martin will be investigating.)

The Bottom Line:

If Messner wins the primary, he will be exposed by the Fake News media, and he will in all probability take President Trump’s campaign down with Messner’s own loss. Messner is a ticking time bomb, and he will be exploded when the Democrats want him to explode. It is as straightforward as that.

Because Trump’s ill-advised endorsement of Messner undermined Don Bolduc’s campaign and credibility, I have said Bolduc is a “carcass, not a candidate.” But with his drunk driving conviction, Messner is also a dead man walking in the days before the November election.

I am the only candidate with the political experience to smash back at the Democrats and take on Shaheen. That is why DiStaso and Landrigan follow their Democratic marching orders to constantly undermine my campaign. DiStaso and Landrigan will try their darndest to nominate a Republican loser and reelect Shaheen. Wait and see.

Sincerely,

Andy

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says President Trump must silence Dr. Anthony Fauci’s opposition to reopening America or Fauci and the CDC will undermine the president’s policies and defeat Trump for reelection



GOP U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says President Trump should “bite the bullet” and silence Dr. Anthony Fauci. Andy says Fauci is a deadly political operative who pretends to be “just a scientist” but is sabotaging Trump’s reelection. If Fauci is allowed to maintain his current high visibility, Trump’s reelection will be in doubt.

President Donald J. Trump
The White House
Washington, DC 20500


Dear Donald:

I am committed to doing everything I can to ensure your reelection.

I am writing to ask you to restrict access to the media and public platforms of Dr. Anthony Fauci of your Coronavirus Task Force. Fauci is undermining your reopen and recovery policy. I also suggest you clean house at the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”). The CDC is also not being helpful.

Unless you take strong and decisive action, Fauci and the CDC will ensure your defeat in November.

In January and February and really into early March, Fauci failed to warn you of the coming Covid-19 tidal wave. As they say in sports, “let’s go to the tape.” Fauci’s repeatedly misleading analysis is on tape.

Once the seriousness of the Coronavirus situation was unavoidable, Fauci reversed himself and started calling for quarantines and shutdowns. He was way too late. But the media tried to blame you, not Fauci, for his belated realization of the virus threat.

Sweden took protective action but never shut down the Swedish economy. My belief is that history will find the national shutdown in the United States was a colossal error. Luckily, the American people will not blame you. You were clearly the victim of bad advice and incompetent management at the CDC.

Fauci says he is only a “scientist” and does not give advice “about economic things.” But the recommendations he has made have devastated our economy and jeopardized your reelection.

On masks, Fauci was a no-mask man before he was a yes-mask man. Cruising? Fauci saw no danger until March. But the doctor seems to endorse online sex. Who knew? Distancing? That is probably the only policy that everyone agrees on.

You were ridiculed when you left reopening to the governors. Some governors have done a good job with the task, and others have continued their mismanagement and incompetence. A hundred years ago Justice Brandeis spoke of the states as “laboratories of democracy.” New State Ice Co. v. Liebmann, 285 U.S. 262 (1932). Your approach has shown us which governors know how to manage, and which can only mismanage.

When we met forty years ago at Olympic Tower, I was already a seasoned political analyst. You were an up-and-coming developer. You developed the skill set to survive in New York City, not the ability to necessarily prevail in the shark tank of Washington. Based on my decades of political experience I can recognize a sabotage operation where others do not. Fauci has been sabotaging your coronavirus response at least since March. He has offered diktats, not opinions; when, if ever, for example, did Fauci discuss the Swedish response to Covid-19 as an option?

Fauci has extraordinary political skills. You do not survive in the bureaucracy for almost 40 years without knowing how to maneuver and manipulate.

Federal bureaucrats have fed you a steady diet of shutdown, shutdown, shutdown. They even convinced you to attack the Georgia governor when he tried to reopen several weeks ago. Georgia seems to be doing pretty well.

Significantly, your home state of Florida has done markedly better than New York and the Northeast in defending against the virus. What did Florida do that New York didn’t?

No one knows what will happen in the fall, or next year. The virus may come back, or it may disappear. And yet, despite the lack of certainty and predictability about the future course of the virus, yesterday we had another belching bureaucrat talking about a “darkest winter” unless you submit to his demands.

There is still time for you to recover if you take decisive action and assume control of your Coronavirus policy without kowtowing to the so-called “experts” and scientists.

The media will flay you, but the American people will recognize that you are a strong executive, not a dupe of the deep state.

The first step is to restrict Fauci to his laboratory and end his access to the media. Fauci has used his perch at your news conferences to contradict you and to devastate your efforts to get America open again. Earlier this week Fauci was at it again, contradicting your policy and conducting his own Covid-19 policy. That is not acceptable.

If Fauci wants to speak freely, he can retire. Government employees do not have free speech rights to contradict their bosses. Fauci has decades of seniority but he is spending most of his time as a political operative and media playboy, not as a serious scientist conducting actual research on the virus.

You cannot allow Fauci to speak for you or your administration.

I am not a fortune teller but I can predict the future where your reelection is concerned. If you do not restrain Fauci now, and limit his accessibility to the media and public platforms, he is going to be undermining your reopen and recovery policies with his own views all summer long, right up to the election. You have given him a mega-platform and so long as he has that platform your reelection is endangered.

So, please restrict Fauci right away.

I also suggest you consider a housecleaning at the CDC. Several years ago, the CDC had a poor response to the Zika virus. After the Zika breakdown, CDC adopted a policy to avoid future breakdowns. But in January the incompetents at CDC refused to use a simple Roche test, and insisted on creating their own defective test. The resulting CDC incompetence led to many weeks of delay while the virus metastasized.

Who has been fired for the CDC’s committing the same mistake with Covid-19 that they promised not to commit after the Zika failure? No one. In other words, after blowing the Zika virus response and promising not to sin again, CDC went right back and made the same mistakes all over again this year!

No one has been punished for incompetence and mismanagement at the CDC. When an organization repeatedly makes the same mistakes people should be held accountable. As someone with vast experience in the private sector you understand what I am saying. I would recommend a massive housecleaning at the CDC. The CDC, moreover, is much quieter than Fauci at undermining your efforts to reopen America. But the CDC’s agenda is painfully obvious, namely to sabotage your administration and your reelection.

I have wanted to send this letter for over a month. In fact, I sent you a letter in March warning of the consequences if you allowed an endless shutdown to continue.

The Covid-19 virus is a serious public health emergency. But as the Swedish approach has shown, there is not just one way to approach a response. The insanity, from New Hampshire to California, of closing public beaches, which are the safest refuges from the virus, show that many so-called “public health” experts are incompetent and operate with closed minds.

I urge you to restrict Fauci’s access and to order a housecleaning at the CDC; the media be damned. Whatever you do, the media will attack you and seek to undermine your reelection. So, in reality there is no price to be paid for shutting up Fauci and cleaning house at the CDC. Right now, by keeping Fauci, you are getting the onus without the bonus. If you limit him you will get the bonus while receiving the same onus.

“Just one more thing,” as Columbo would say. You need to appoint a reopening czar, a Peter Navarro-type to supervise reopening. Then let him run your operation. Tell him “no press conferences,” and just let the man or woman do their job. You’ll get better results without the hassles that attended your Coronavirus Task Force. Keep it simple.

We need you to win. Don’t blow it.


With sincere best wishes,


Andy

New Hampshire U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin tells Trump to apologize or be defeated for reelection


In a letter to President Donald J. Trump, New Hampshire U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin warns the president he cannot be reelected unless he apologizes to the American people and reverses course in the Middle East. Martin also warns Trump to stop promoting Corey “Looneydowski” for senator. A Looneydowski nomination would preclude Trump from carrying New Hampshire.

President Donald J. Trump
The White House
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Donald:

I can still remember the day, forty years ago in 1979, when I was sitting in my apartment at Olympic Tower Condominium and the staff brought in a “board package” (application to rent) for a unit at Olympic Tower at 641 Fifth Avenue in New York. The application was from you. I knew who you were; you were already well known in New York. I was a member of the Board of Managers of Olympic Tower and signed off on your application to move in; later the full board ratified my action.

We were never close friends but we were civil to each other and at some point you asked me to meet with your architects who were designing Trump Tower. I was an expert on multi-use high rise buildings. In the 1980’s Spy Magazine said that we were both “litigious New Yorkers.” In the 1990’s I sued you to block the conversion of Mar-A-Lago into a club in Palm Beach. In the “naughts” I was in the background at the church when you married Melania and now in the current decade, I sometimes see you at services on Christmas and Easter Sunday.

I go into some detail as to our past because having known you for forty years, I am inclined to be a supporter. Despite your relentless exaggeration, on the whole you have had a positive impact. I want to support you.

I supported you in 2016 and I was delighted when you were elected. Frankly, I hoped you would become more “presidential,” (you promised some of your excesses would be toned down). You have not.

But it was not until you slandered General Mattis a few days ago that I felt you had gone too far. Too far for me for sure. Every day there is a new avalanche of misinformation.

I have spent the past fifty years in and out of the Middle East. Four generations of my family have served there in some capacity. Unlike you, I know something about the region.

Your latest claim, “We did not promise to protect the Kurds until Kingdom Come,” is literally correct. But then we have no such obligation to other countries either. You are not “bringing our troops home,” and the numbers deployed in the Middle East are increasing. How long are you committed to Iraq? That is likely where you will get similar pressure to withdraw very soon.

Ironically, this letter has been in preparation for ten months, since General (SecDef) Mattis resigned and others also left because of differences over your Syria policy. You just kept digging yourself a deeper hole over the past ten months.

Last weekend, five (5) people were killed in Chicago, almost as many troops as have died in Syria in four years. At Fort Stewart, Georgia, last weekend a tragic training accident cost at least three soldiers their lives, a third of the losses we have endured in Syria in five years. Every time you use military casualties to excuse your surrender in Syria I ask, “Are you going to withdraw from Chicago, which is infinitely more dangerous?” Stop abusing and misusing the sacrifices of your troops to cover for your own cowardice.

We didn’t have a legal obligation to defend the Kurds; we had a moral one. We only lost a handful of soldiers in five years because the Kurds lost over ten thousand fighters. Military people are not paid a lot of money for the dangers they assume. But persons in uniform are bound by the morality of our military history. Politicians are often craven and immoral; they have no scruples, Shifty Schiff for example. But soldiers and Marines are held to a higher standard; that was the first thing I learned as a military cadet. The moral imprimatur of American support for those who fight and die alongside us and for us is a sacred commitment. In more than fifty years overseas I have always depended on local people to protect me and assist me. I would never abandon them.

By refusing to defend the ground we controlled in Syria you casually allowed a Turkish dictator to make a fool of you. We did not go into Syria “for 30 days,” as you repeatedly lie. People who knew realized it could be a decades-long process to defeat ISIS and Islamist extremism.

You allowed Erdogan to tell you he planned to invade a member of the United Nations and attempt to ethnically cleanse thousands of square miles of territory occupied by civilians. Where do you get the authority to “negotiate” the invasion of a member of the United Nations by an Islamist dictator? That’s what even you admit to have done. Disgraceful.

You have dishonored our troops in the field, and you have dishonored your supporters. Please don’t tell me people at your rallies cheer when you say you are “bringing our troops home.” You’re not bringing them home; they are redeploying in the Middle East and you are sending thousands more troops to the region. As a result of your latest disaster, eventually you will have to send more troops to stamp out Islamist extremism. They want to destroy us. (Question: have you asked the Iraqis what they think of your appropriating their nation as a base to fight ISIS in Syria? I am waiting for the backlash.)

Your refusal to stand up to the Turkish dictator Erdogan will stain your presidency forever. You surrendered our loyalties and our national security to an Islamist dictator. In the words of Joseph Welch, “At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” In surrendering you gave new life to ISIS terrorists and very possibly doomed your presidency.

As I was writing this letter, there were reports of yet another zig-zag, that you might leave troops in Syria, though not enough to actually enforce our national interests. Everyone, even your opponents, wants to some day bring our troops home. But why not the troops in Japan? Tens of thousands in Europe? Are they also being withdrawn? Instead, you have singled out 2,000 troops, almost a rounding error, to focus on removing them when the prime beneficiaries will be the Turkish dictator, the Russian dictator, the Syrian dictator and ISIS. Do you understand why people doubt your motives? A great nation has commitments and alliances, something you refuse to acknowledge. You are acting like a Brooklyn landlord, not president of the United States.

You will be “remembered for foreign policy,” all right, as you unfortunately predicted. For allowing atrocities to take place, as when prisoners and unarmed civilians were executed by Erdogan’s bloodthirsty stooges. You will be reviled in American history. People around the whole world hear and see your flatulent rhetoric, and they are disgusted. They ridicule you and despise you. Your claim that “America has never been more respected” is delusional. Except for Viet-Nam we have never been more reviled around the world in my lifetime or yours. Your foreign policy has been an embarrassing failure.

People made mistakes during the Viet-Nam era, but they were dealing with the imperfect information of that age. Kissinger betrayed the Kurds, but then the Shah of Iran fell, and we are still paying the price for Kissinger’s duplicity. But no president, until you, has ever cut-and-run from our positions, to the point where Russians showed up last week and found hot coffee on the tables and refrigerators stuffed with food. You surrendered, and thereby dishonored yourself, our national security and the sacred honor of our military. Your days of exploiting the military are at an end.

Your asinine claim “we were caught between two armies” is nonsense. There were “two armies” only because you caused that mess to exist due to your cowardice in the face of the Turk. You’re not fooling anyone who knows anything about military history. Against dictators, you are a coward, plain and simple.

I always thought George W. Bush and Barack Obama would fight it out for “worst president in modern American history.” But you have now become a “contenda” for a three-way race to the bottom. You ridicule Bush for his self-destructive invasion in 2003 (which I opposed). I marched against the Iraq invasion down Fifth Avenue. You were nowhere to be seen. But your Syrian surrender is an even more egregious abandonment of national security and honor than Bush’s and Obama’s. Americans will die in the future because of your cowardice in the face of the Turk and the Russian.

You have accomplished one noteworthy thing: other than Senator Rand Paul, and Tucker Carlson’s Colonel McGregor, you have united the American people against your policy. You’ve heard the expression, “these colors don’t run.” Well, Donald Trump’s colors do run, and he lies about it every day as women and children are slaughtered. You were punked by an Islamist dictator. The whole world saw you for what you are.

So, where are we?

The Trump name, the Trump brand, which you spent a lifetime establishing, is in tatters. By the time you leave the White House, “Trump” will be a dirty word and your business will be endangered.

You have had an administration of extraordinary accomplishments, such as record low unemployment and record economic prosperity. But all of your accomplishments are being drowned out by your relentless blabbering and your surrender in Syria. You have achieved national unity by making yourself a target of national scorn.

Impeachment. I have some good news and bad news. The case against you is garbage. Total and complete exaggeration. But you are impeaching yourself with your incompetent defense and irrational behavior. President Clinton knew how to defend against impeachment, and he won. But your defense is no defense, just a daily stream of nonsense and crazy talk. Rudy Giuliani? I faced off against him across the table in the 1980’s. Unlike General Mattis, Giuliani is grossly overrated.

The actual constitutional foundation for impeaching you is nonsense. You have not committed any high crimes or misdemeanors. But the Democrats want to wound you, and you are allowing them to bleed you, day by day. You give energy to the impeachment by acting as though it is a given. No, it isn’t.

Good cases are lost. And bad cases are won. Every day. You have a good case but are defeating yourself. If you don’t allow your staff to organize a coherent impeachment defense team you will be impeached. Mulvaney laughed when he was asked if you could be convicted and removed. He thought the question was a joke. It is not a joke. I believe you can still avoid being impeached, and I believe you can avoid being convicted and removed. But not with your current approach.

You need to address the nation and apologize. You need to admit to mistakes and you need to promise to do better. With a skillful defense, you could stave off impeachment and conviction. But not with your current calamitous behavior. Nixon saved himself in 1952 with the “Checkers” speech. You need to save yourself with a similar appeal.

You need to stop lying to the American people. No, you did not “capture ISIS.” It was the Kurds who spilled blood, not Trump. I am amazed the media keep accusing you of a “quid quo pro,” when you need an opposite number for a quid pro quo. Consulting among your own team and own government is never a quid pro quo. But, yes, you made mistakes.

When I see you in church on Christmas and Easter, you partake of the Confession of sin. Without a sincere confession to the American people, and a whole new approach to speech and leadership, your presidency is doomed.

Be aware, I am representative of the broader “base.” I supported you when you announced (I delayed my public endorsement because I was attacking Jeb Bush and did not want Bush to use me against you.) So I have been with you since the start. I watch the rallies. They are entertaining, but you cannot win an election with your own base. You are losing ordinary people who find your language and self-delusion offensive. So, cut it. You need a “Come to Jesus” moment. Without genuine genuflection and a sincere apology, you will be defeated and we will enter a national Dark Age of taxation and enslavement by the Democrats. For which you will blamed into eternity.

So, yes, we still need you if you are capable of being a leader. I still can’t figure out if your endless blathering is due to a speech problem or some form of degenerative condition, but you need to stop exaggerating, stop lying and come to ground on your own. People will love you for it.

Because of your many successes, you should be at 70% support among the American people, but you’re not. I watched the 2018 election and said to myself “Doesn’t he realize his crazy behavior is turning off voters, and if the D’s take the House, he will endure extreme suffering?” You didn’t and you are.

Keep your apology approach simple, direct and coherent. A little humor is all right, but not an endless stream of consciousness. You can still recover if you admit error and change course.

I’m also a candidate. So I am responsive to voters as well. I will soon be facing off against your puppy, Corey Looneydowski. There is no way New Hampshire Republicans can elect a polarizing, philandering candidate to the U. S. Senate. Indeed, if Looneydowski runs, he will preclude you from carrying New Hampshire. New Englanders are pretty skeptical. They don’t like over-wrought presentations. And New England has only one GOP federal official. How do we change that? Not by abandoning Syria and encouraging Looneydowski.

I am not writing at length to hurt you. I am writing to encourage you to face reality. I am going to vote for you in 2020. The current crop of D’s doesn’t offer a rational option. But voters sometimes take irrational action when faced with a candidate they don’t like. LBJ won the greatest victory in American history in 1964 (I worked in the 89th Congress). Four years later, he couldn’t even run for reelection. Political fortunes can change in an instant, or a phone call.

Please, please apologize to the American people, send our troops back to Syria and tell the bloodthirsty Erdogan to take his war criminals out of Syria, which is still an independent country, not subject to invasion by Erdogan. Restore honor to our men and women who today are being pelted with shoes and potatoes because their commander-in-chief is a delusional coward who abandoned them to ISIS.

ISIS is still very much here/there, and if you do not reverse course, ISIS and all the other dictators and bullies around the world will make your life miserable in 2020. They will extract maximum humiliation just when you are most vulnerable during your reelection campaign. Why not listen to people who know more than you do about the Middle East and Asia, and stop pretending you are an expert on everything? You’re not. Stop acting like you’re a confused old man, like Joe Biden.

The IG Report (link below) is chilling. Contrary to your claims, we are going to be in the Middle East for a very long time. Stop saying ISIS is 7,000 miles away. That is delusional. On September 11, 2001, the Middle East was a subway ride away from you and me, as thousands died, mainly because of Saudi Arabian fanatics from a country you are now reinforcing with more troops. Unless you restore order and reverse your bad decisions, Americans will die again and this time you will be blamed. Look at pp. 3-5 of the Report: https://www.stateoig.gov/system/files/q3fy2019_leadig_oir_report.pdf

In closing, I have been hard and harsh, but you deserve it. If you reverse course, you will be reelected. If you continue along the current path, I think there is a strong possibility Senate Republicans will vote to convict and remove you from office as the lesser of two evils (removing a president and starting the 2020 campaign with a clean candidate, versus having you as their doomed leader).

You have the challenge of a lifetime, to change your approach to leadership and to restore integrity and rationality to the processes of your government. Other men in history have risen to the challenge. Change is never easy, but if you fail to change there is almost no hope for you or your legacy.

I wish you the best.


Sincerely,


Andy

Corey Lewandowski is toxic to Trump reelection in New Hampshire says U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin

President Donald Trump
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
via WH email client


Dear Donald:

This is the first of what will be a continuing series of letters to you concerning the 2020 presidential campaign and senate campaign in New Hampshire. I strongly supported you in 2016 and I am supporting you in 2020. Having met you over 40 years ago when, as a member of the Board of Managers (directors) at Olympic Tower, I approved your lease application, our paths constantly seem to cross.

1. I am a 2020 U. S. Senate candidate in New Hampshire

My concern is that you may support or endorse Corey Lewandowski during your visit to New Hampshire tomorrow. In my opinion, that would jeopardize your own reelection. The 2020 election is likely to be close. New Hampshire’s four electoral votes could decide the race. You narrowly lost New Hampshire in 2016 and if you play your cards right you would win the state in 2020. But any attempts you make to support Lewandowski’s candidacy could doom your reelection or at least your wining New Hampshire’s electoral votes.

In 2018 I was a candidate for congress in NH’s first district. Lewandowski endorsed my opponent. I demolished Lewandowski’s candidate and exposed him as a sexual predator. Where others before me had failed, I managed to pry loose the “Sanborn papers” which had been closely held by the state of New Hampshire. The state records documented my opponent’s sexual improprieties and doomed his candidacy. Unfortunately, the Fake News media in New Hampshire had forced me into third place, so when I knocked out the first place candidate number two won the primary.

2. Your support of Lewandowski would doom your reelection
prospects in New Hampshire

Primaries are by their very nature contentious. New Hampshire has a history of defeating candidates who received “outside” support. While the Fake News media pretend that I do not exist, I am going to be, once again, the leading factor is seeking to win the nomination by documenting that my primary opponents cannot win the general election. Some candidates are strong in the primary, where they can make strident promises, and weak in general elections. I am the opposite; I have a hard time in the primary but could convince enough people of my independence and integrity to defeat the incumbent, Jeanne Shaheen.

If you back Lewandowski and he wins the primary, those supporters of candidates who feel they were robbed by your outside intervention, who may not be part of the Republican “base” but who are essential for a Republican to win the state, will not support you in the general election. Senator Kelly Ayotte lacked political experience and she was badly advised to meddle in local politics. The result: she was defeated for reelection. So, you have to calculate what will improve your prospects in New Hampshire, not what will diminish them.

3. Lewandowski’s fornication would create problems for you

In the past you have been accused of inappropriate conduct. But the operative words are “in the past.” Almost all the accusations against you went back years and, in some instances, decades. Voters decided to give you a second chance. Mr. Lewandowski is alleged to have corrupted Hope Hicks during the presidential campaign and while you were serving in the White House. So, Lewandowski’s misconduct is recent and that can only agitate memories of the charges against you.

4. What you don’t know about New Hampshire could defeat you

The new GOP state chairman in New Hampshire is a supporter of yours, but his divisive actions against my campaign create doubt he will conduct a fair and impartial primary. While the vast majority of Granite State GOPers back you, there are pockets of vicious opposition. The webmaster for Bedford Republicans and Amherst Republicans (same person) is a virulent anti-Trumper, who retaliated against me for supporting you. A former state chairman, Jennifer Horn, is a malignant presence in the party and committed to your defeat. Because a small number of votes could be critical, you can’t afford to lose a single vote to a Lewandowski backlash.

It may be old fashioned, but I personally feel that Lewandowski’s betrayal of his wife and family reflect an attitude of contempt for integrity and morality and violate New Hampshire values. I don’t think New Hampshire voters will trust him.

Bottom line: supporting or endorsing Lewandowski is toxic to your own reelection.

With personal best wishes,

Andy

Andy Martin says he will raise Corey Lewandowski’s “compulsive fornication” with Hope Hicks as a disqualifying factor if Lewandowski announces a run for the U. S. Senate

Andy says Lewandowski has been a national and local “train wreck” since Corey’s days as a park ranger

“Hope Hicks will be issue #1 if Lewandowski runs for the senate,” Andy says

Andy says Lewandowski’s delusion that other candidates will drop out of the senate primary is just that, “delusional”

Martin has been the GOP’s “Top Gun” national opposition researcher for decades; he’s set to take Corey Lewandowski apart

(MANCHESTER, NH) (August 5, 2019) --- New Hampshire Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a Manchester news conference Monday, August 5 to announce he plans to make Corey Lewandowski’s “compulsive fornication” Issue #1 if Lewandowski announces as a candidate for the U. S. Senate. Please see links below for details.

“Ever since he served as a local park ranger, Lewandowski has been a train wreck,” Andy says.

“Lewandowski’s open and notorious fornication with Hope Hicks disqualifies him as a GOP candidate. Republicans have given up any pretense of morality when it comes to fiscal responsibility. I hope they will not surrender basic principles of morality by seriously pretending that Corey Lewandowski is U. S. Senate material.”

Andy has been a Top Gun GOP opposition researcher and campaigner for decades.

In 2018, NH State Senator Andy Sanborn thought he would coast to a congressional nomination. Andy unleashed his opposition research powers and cut a deal with the New Hampshire Attorney General to release secret sex files on Sanborn. Sanborn’s candidacy dissolved in a frenzy of media coverage all triggered by Andy’s digging.

Andy has a notoriously prickly relationship with local Fake News media, who pretend he does not exist (“As I was going up the stair…” The Psychoed) but local reporters do not hesitate to steal his scoops and report them as their own.

In 2004, Andy exposed that Barack Obama’s “autobiography” was a fictionalized version of Obama’s life. Four years later, Andy’s relentless opposition research cost Obama millions of additional voters. Andy’s bestselling book on Obama, a collection of Andy’s columns (see below), triggered national opposition to Obama.

Ironically, other less scrupulous media took Andy’s legitimate research, which supported Obama’s birth in Hawai’i, and created the ‘Birther’ movement. WMUR reporter Adam Sexton, who censors Andy’s campaign activity, went so far as to smear Andy by falsely accusing Andy on live television of having claimed Obama was not born in Hawai’i. “I exposed Adam Sexton’s Fake News,” Andy says. “In 2018 he interviewed every other candidate but me on his show. Instead, Sexton tried to ambush me with bogus claims Fake News-style. I threw Sexton’s lies right back in his face.”

In 2016 Andy exposed that a Republican congressional candidate was a fraud. Both WMUR and the Union Leader both appropriated Andy’s research without crediting him. In one of his more prescient analytical reports, in 1999 Andy aired a commercial on WMUR stating George W. Bush wanted to start a war and invade Iraq. Republicans were outraged by the TV ad; but Andy was spot on, Bush destroyed his presidency with the ill-advised invasion of Iraq.

So, if Lewandowski announces a run for the U. S. Senate, he is certain to run into Andy’s “fornication factor” buzz saw.

“Lewandowski has no hope of being nominated in New Hampshire,” Andy says. “We have targeted our campaign research on Lewandowski and we will have more to say before President Trump arrives in New Hampshire in a few days. Lewandowski could cost Trump the 2020 election if the senate candidate delusion continues. Republican leaders in New Hampshire are dumb. They like to do self-destructive things. And they have an unblemished record of losing to Democrats. Case closed.

“Mr. Lewandowski, Welcome to New Hampshire,” Andy chides.
