2 facts:
1) Chip Roy is my representative; and
2) I have already voted for Donald Trump 4 times, and plan on voting for him twice more this coming year.
I am disturbed on 2 counts: first, that Roy would endorse DeSantis and, second, that Trump is calling him a RINO. Both are mistakes. DeSantis would, IMHO, make a decent President, but I don’t think that he is electable (and certainly not this year). Besides, I VERY much favor Trump, and the primaries may as well already be done, given the huge lead for Trump. Why Roy would endorse DeSantis at this point in time is beyond me. As for DJT, I can understand him being upset, but he did a “ready, FIRE!, aim” routine on this one - he reacted with his gut rather than his head. We all do that sometimes, and it is a forgivable mistake, but it is a mistake nonetheless. Roy has been damned near perfect as a libertarian-oriented conservative in my eyes.
I wish that both of these fine gentlemen and patriots would get their acts together, as they are on the same team. We should be fighting the Leftists, not each other.
Donald Trump cannot tell the difference between a "rival" and an "enemy". This is a serious error. Failure to turn rivals into allies leaves one with no allies, just sycophants. His (and his supporters') attacks on Gov. DeSantis, for example are sheer madness. They're insane, stupid, wrong, unnecessary, and very much harmful to America in the long run.
"Politics is bloodsport", some say.
And that's the problem with politics, and why we need less of it.
What we need here is statesmanship, and I see nobody currently running for national office who really exhibits it.
Agree. I think neither Trump nor Roy is perfect, but I would be much happier if they were POTUS and my congressman.
