Sometimes you have to build a coalition of leveraged politicians who can win versus pure conservatives who won’t ever win or vote.

Don’t worry - he needs to win the election! I am certain there are others reading this that can better explain Trump’s positioning for the election. I would hate to see him be upset that no debates will take place. After all, it’s not the primary - it’s the national election! I can’t wait to see him put Hillary in prison, clean the swamp, and stand on medical freedom once he is in office. Heck - there may be more people that deserve prison that he could go after.

What is Trump’s method for picking people? It’s not money, loyalty comes up later, usually once they part ways. Whether endorsements or hires Trump’s picks don’t fit a pattern.

He endorsed Oz in the PA senate race. Looks like Fetterman is more conservative that Oz.

I am not a fan of Trump endorsements. He either endorses RINOs or he endorses conservatives who are not very stellar.

Just what we need in Congress- more assistant democrats, because we don't have enough of them already. We need to continue that great congressional republican tradition of do-nothing, reach across the aisle and bend over surrender monkeys. Oh... also treachery when we need them most to vote for us.

I sometimes wonder about posters like you who lack common sense.

Before you can set the agenda, you have to have a majority in both the House and Senate.

While always backing the most conservative may make you feel great, always backing that most conservative candidate will not lead to those majorities.

Don't make the Perfect be the Enemy of the Good!

They don’t name names?

They do nothing but talk.

Re: "Endorsing moderates"

That may also mean endorsing key Republican incumbents and not endorsing Conservatives who cannot win their state or Congressional district.

Face reality...

Conservatives are a numerical minority who cannot win the White House, the U.S. Senate, or the House of Representatives.

He’s doing it because he knows RINOs can be led to do the right thing by a strong leader.

You mean the Fake Freedom Caucus that kicked out MTG?

I don't wonder anymore - Trump's hires and endorsements are often bad, and that's something I accept. I trust Trump himself - I don't trust his ability to pick good people.

It’s abysmal, which is why you should not expect anything good.

I like that we have a “Freedom Caucus”, and I respect most the individuals involved with it. However, I must ask, what has the Freedom Caucus done, exactly to promote Freedom? I feel as though all of these caucii and committees and everything else are just various elitist clubs that we aren’t part of. Not one of the tyrants or actual domestic terrorists have gone to jail, and they won’t. At the end of the day, that’s all that matters, that justice is served. Without justice, we have no freedom.

Like his endorsement of Fong in MCCarthys old district. Fong was McCarthys right hand man. Why would trump even I endorse anywone? It’s a solid red district. Fong beat a fellow Republican former sheriff Boudreaux. 60-40

Fake Freedom Caucus worried another MTG might be elected and they’ll have to kick them out of their phony caucus again

His endorsements are basically worthless.
This election is Trump vs Trump vs Biden. Let’s hope Trump wins...but I have doubts.

The Freedom Caucus is home to the best, most conservative members of the House. Trump has endorsed actaul RINOs against several of them.

Apparently he endorsed a guy named McGuire here in VA, but McGuire seems to be a bad squishy RINO. Votes the wrong way all the time. Unless I learn more, Bob Goode has my vote.

I do need to get more familiar with my Virginia politicians.
