He endorsed DeSantis do you want trump to endorse him now? I’m sorry he lost but I think you did it to himself
Trump endorsed some establishment people in the past who were against him. Trump, like all of us, has his flaws. I wish Desantes didn’t cave on Ukraine in the first week.
I was "really okay" with Good and Trump. But Good endorsed DeSantis and Trump then endorced Good's opponent.
The suck started with Bob Good.
The important thing is we keep the seat. If this winner ends up losing the house seat than this was dumb. But if he’s even a better conservative than Good then we win even more. I’m not sure of the make up of the district or the democrat running against this new guy. Hopefully it works out in the end.
Good made his bed. He may yet pull out a win.
“With 98 percent of the ballots counted, the Associated Press reported, state Senator John McGuire, whom Trump has endorsed, led incumbent Representative Bob Good by just 327 votes (50.3 percent to 49.7 percent). The remaining votes are not expected to be counted on Wednesday as Virginia observes the Juneteenth federal holiday.”
“If the margin of victory between the candidates is less than 1 percent, the race—which has not been called by the AP or other prominent news outlets—could head to a recount.”
I congratulate Navy SEAL, John McGuire, and our Senate Candidate, Navy Special Operations Captain (Retired), Hung Cao. The campaign fight between McGuire was nasty. Trump’s endorsement of McGuire, plus Don Shipley telling me John is a good guy, BUD/S Class 164, SEAL Team FOUR, won my vote.
He’s apparently endorsed an Anti-Trump candidate in Utah. What’s up with that? Someone is giving Trump very bad advice. And that does seem to be a pattern.
BUMP
1. You do not know why trump didn’t endorse Good.
2. If Good can’t realistically win, there’s no point in endorsing him.
3. To win control of Congress, you have to win races… even in districts that would only elect a RINO.
I don’t know who this guy is, but the buzzwords to me are telling...
Conservative is the first buzzword. That usually means deep state.
The more conservative a ranking a person gets, the more swamp they are.
My own rep gets a solid conservative rating.
She has not seen a deep state bill that she did not vote for.
Some of us tried to have that discussion. The Trumpkins would not allow it.
Good volunteered to be Trump’s example that less than total loyalty will not and cannot be tolerated. It is a shame that the sour music stopped and Good has no chair to sit on but he DiD do this to himself.
Trump is a RINO who makes Bush look conservative.
I've been in Virginia politics for a while and have known and worked with Bob and John for a long time. Bob has done an outstanding job in the House and is one of us. John keeps running for the next thing and is not an effective legislator.
I also blame Chris LaCivita.
The voters chose. Deal with them.
Do you even live in Virginia?
Good received a 100% rating from the American Conservative Union and a 98% rating from the John Birch Society. We cannot afford to lose good people particularly in Virginia. Flipping Virginia in a Presidential election is difficult but not impossible. You need to overcome the fraud in Northern Virginia and Richmond by encouraging mass voter turnout in western and southern Virginia.
If Bob good is so great how come he got sucked in by DeSantis? Why on earth would he not support Trump all the way? Anybody throwing in with DeSantis becomes suspect in my book.

Before Trump, I used to like the freedom caucus, and in all honesty, I still like what they say they stand for.Before Trump, I used to like the freedom caucus, and in all honesty, I still like what they say they stand for.

However, during Trump's term, from day 1 they did everything they could to hamstring Trump from passing conservative wishlist items while taking on the mantle of the "real conservatives®️" who would keep "liberal" Trump honest.
Much like Biden revoked Trump's insulin cap so he could claim credit for it, they didn't seem like they wanted to give Trump the win.
I swear if I heard, "we just aren't there, yet" one more time from the freedom Caucus during Trump's term, I was going to throw something through the TV.
Yeah, I know this will piss people off, but so be it.
They held up obamacare repeal, they blocked Trump's infrastructure bill, and they blocked any compromises Trump sought with the dems or the rest of the gop who wanted to make a deal. They did this all while yelling they were doing it to keep Trump "conservative." They did it until they got strong pushback from their voters to support Trump( the same with McConnell who folded and struck a compromise with Trump on pushing judges through the senate) then Ryan was able to throw the house in the 2018 midterms, and when they were out of power and the dems were in, they switched to fully supporting Trump.
Never mind all the voters in PA, MI, WI, OH, and other places that weren't hard-core conservatives.
And do really need to discuss Mark Meadows?
Then, after the 2020 election was stolen, up they popped with Desantis to try to take the "true conservative" mantle and the "maga" mantle.
Frankly, at this point, I'm not particularly fond of the freedom caucus, and if their chairman lost his primary, I say, "So what? They did it to themselves."
Maybe they can write a strongly worded letter to Trump about their disappointment in his endorsement.
