Donald Trump's power as a GOP kingmaker has suffered a blow after voters chose Republican Jake Ellzey over the former president's pick for a vacant seat in Congress, sparking claims that he is "not bulletproof."

According to the Associated Press, Ellzey took 53 percent of the vote, six points more than Trump-backed candidate Susan Wright in the special election runoff for the Texas 6th congressional district on Tuesday.

The AP reported that Ellzey told supporters after his victory: "One of the things that we've seen from this campaign is a positive outlook, a Reagan Republican outlook, for the future of our country is what the people of the 6th district really really want."

The product can't be made more palatable or less toxic, and it's past expiration date and shelf life is being put out to pasture.
