Was this the man who went to Trump Tower to inform President Trump he was being spied on, way back during his first campaign?
You’d think Trump would at least ask Nunes his opinion.
Yertle smiling? How could you tell?
The other ‘republican’ in the republican senate race that has a chance is justin amash, which is an even bigger nevertrumper than rogers is.
Trump is only picking the lesser of the evils for senate.
Would he have been expected to instead endorse the person who said this?
“I rise today in support of these articles of impeachment,” he said on the House floor. “Not as a Democrat, not as a Republican, but as an American, who cares deeply about the Constitution, the rule of law, and the rights of the people.” The five-term congressman noted that the impeachment process should not be about “policy disagreements,” “ineffective governance,” or “criminality based on statutes that did not exist at the time our Constitution was written.” Instead, he said, it “is about maintaining the integrity of the office of the presidency and ensuring that executive power is directed toward proper ends in accordance with the law.”
“Conservatives will someday face the horrible truth that the Republican Party fought so hard to justify and excuse an amoral and self-serving president,” Amash tweeted last night, “and what he gave them in return was bigger government and erosion of the principles and values they once claimed to cherish.”
Rogers is a big time RINO.
Who is giving Trump this advice?
Trump is also liking Lyndsey Graham again if I remember right. I love so much about Trump. But he also disappointing me very much at times. Not getting around it though. He is the only one with vision and guts enough to maybe save us.
Would you rather he endorse another WEF fraud and con man like OZ and throw out any chance of winning the seat?
You aren’t going to get everything you want all at once, that’s not how the system works.
We are witnessing, in real time, a bloodless revolution.. the US system is set up to allow this, because the founders knew if you didn’t allow for it to happen bloodlessly it will happen through blood.... and bloodless revolutions require the movement to be sustained and long term to happen, it is intentionally designed to require long term ongoing support and motivations, not just a quick flash of anger or passion... whereas a bloody revolution can literally happen nearly overnight and be spurned by nothing but momentary passions that will cause harm for generations to come.
Bloodless revolutions are rarely linear, it takes a long sustained effort to happen.
Like it or not Rodgers was going to win the primary with or without Trump’s endorsement, he’s up 16 to 20 depending on the poll to his next closest rival. Trump could go in and endorse someone else, but it wouldn’t be enough to push them over the top.
Trump could have decided to endorse no one, but endorsing anyone other than the front runner in this race would be wasted political capital.
One step at a time, as I said, bloodless revolutions do not happen overnight.

Horrible Horrible Horrible choice. Trump is also said to be considering Tim Scott for VP.
For all that he gets right, Trump makes some absolutely horrible choices in people and needs to be saved from himself in this area. No to Mike Rogers and No to Tim Scott.
However, Rogers disobeyed orders to warn Trump personally that he and Trump Tower were being spied upon. He has some degree of ethics, which is rare in the Deep State.
This is not a good sign. Trump still thinks he can work with these people. Like many of his followers, Trump doesn’t seem to fully comprehend the venom that these people hold for him.
I believe in one form of term limits, and that is term limits on House and Senate positions on any national intelligence committees.
