Trump and his endorsements suck (again)
FR ^ | May 4 | Me

Posted on 05/04/2024 7:11:18 PM PDT by RandFan

Sorry but it has to be said. His endorsements suck once again. He's terrible at them.

He's supporting Mike Rogers the Bush-era Neocon in MI who is basically responsible for FISA and its very use against him when he was president.

He's supportive of Mike Johnson the RINO/Democrat Speaker and was said to have intervened last week to get that foreign aid package passed!

NOT HELPFUL DON ...

Why is he cosying up to these people?

The "palestinian" American is definitely better looking.

Apparently this thread is his endorsement.

You’re distorting it.

He should stay in MI but he should stay out of the MI GOP Senate primary.

I could not be more clear and I don’t like it when McConnell does it either

“He has a pencahnt for using those who have been enemies.”

Rodgers is running against Amash. Amash is a Libertarian that voted to impeach Trump and was the only Republican to vote with the democrats to deny Trump funding for the wall.

You brought up Rodgers as a “enemy” because of FISA which makes no sense.

You support Amash so you did NOT mention that he voted to impeach Trump, voted with the dems to deny funding for the wall, supports increasing immigration and joined the Libertarian party which supports open borders.

Amash hates Trump because his family business (Michigan Industrial Tools) apparently imported all their product from China so Trump’s tarrifs REALLY hurt his business. In comparison, the other cheap tool importer Harbor Freight is more diversified (Vietnam, Taiwan, India) and didn’t get their wares from just China.

The point is it goes beyond this and is a worrying trend

I also gave the example of Speaker Johnson

There will be more I fear

“Dynamic Source International, which is owned by Justin Amash and his brothers, employs 25 and “facilitates” Michigan Industrial Tools’ business by ensuring tools they buy in China meet their quality standards and are packaged correctly, John Amash said.”

>> Why do you prefer a Palestinian that voted to impeach Trump? Because he is a libertarian on drugs and LGBQT rights? <<

>> Amash voted to impeach Trump. That alone should disqualify him from any consideration even for a job cleaning portable toilets with a toothbrush. If Amash was the GOP nominee for an office in my state or district, I’d write in Harvey Weinstein’s name before I ever vote for that @sshole. <<

Bingo. Rogers has his flaws and is FAR from perfect, but any GOP voter can compare Rogers to Amash on topics like the standing up to the LGBTQ mafia, protecting the unborn, opposing the Islamofacists crying about how "oppressed" they are because they "only" control 99.7% of the middle east, and not voting for frivolous, baseless impeachments because you utterly loathe someone named "Donald", and realize that Amash is well to the LEFT of Rogers.

Any "conservative" who has looked at BOTH their records honestly and still thinks Trump's endorse is "Horrible" is not saying much about Trump's own track but their twisted idea of what "conservative" means. It reminds me when some cartoonist wanted to point out how "bad" Stephen Hawking's beliefs about Israel were, and his editorial showing all the "good" things about Israel gloated about the fact they had one of the largest pro-sodomy "pride" parades in the world. That said more about what the cartoonist thinks is "good" in his twisted mind, than it did about how "bad" Stephen Hawking's views were.

Furthermore, Rand Paul and his FReeper fan of the same name CONSTANTLY crying about Mike Rogers having an "anti-Trump" record, while trying to ignore/cover up their OWN candidate Justin Amash's anti-Trump being 10X WORSE is incredibly laughable and hypocritical. Ironically, Rand poked fun at the Liz Cheney cheerleaders screaming about "carpetbagging" politicians being "out of touch" while simultaneously cheering on Liz Cheney carpetbagging into Wyoming when she hadn't lived the since she was 12. I guess Rand now wants to take a page from their own glass house tactics. Et tu, Rand?

Haven't read down very far but I really expect you to get seriously slammed for this post. The knee-jerk reaction of some folks to any criticism at all of Trump is almost cultish. I've thought for some time that one of his biggest weaknesses his first term. I think the problem is that he really trusts certain of his advisors, and I am not sure that all of his advisors (cough, Kushner) really have his best interests or the best interest of this nation in mind. What was also a pretty obvious trait was that he'd stand behind someone for far too long. Both of these are admirable traits, to some degree, but he has been poorly served by them.

Some of the best tools I have are antique American ones I find on ebay (i.e. 1950s Craftsman SAE wrenches or a 1930s tap and die set in an oak case). But, Indian metric wrenches and Taiwanese torque wrenches are pretty good for weekend automotive tinkering.

I have a set of Amash MIT wrenches. The quality is terrible (makes the ones at Walmart look good). The MIT/Amash tools are Dollar General/Dollar Tree/Bodega quality.

I take it you don't understand what "lame duck" means.

**************************************************************

Amash is an OPEN BORDERS ADVOCATE. So even Mike Johnson is better than him.

Amash in congress voted to impeach Trump. Would he also do that in the senate?

Why keep badgering me about this?

I do not think its wise he gets involved in the MI GOP Primary

And I dont like it when McConnell does this either.

Funny they will both agree on this one.......

It’s the trend im worried about

Trump has a big vulnerability, and the RINOs have figured it out.

He’s scared of being struck off the ballot.

And he is scared of being impeached.

So all the RINOs have to do now is threaten to vote with the Dems at the next impeachment, and Trump just caves to them.

Just like he did at the end of the first term on the J6 pardons, Assange/Snowden pardons, CIA declassifications.

If he can’t face these guys down on this threat, his second term isn’t going to be any better than his first.
