In two consecutive Alabama Senate primaries, Trump has endorsed the less conservative candidate — the RINO — out of personal pique, and he has unfortunately won both times. He endorsed a liberal RINO in PA too.
RE: He endorsed a liberal RINO in PA too.
Who should Trump have endorsed in PA that has a realistic chance of winning in the state?
Mitch wins?
Crickets !
May be Todd Skin or Mourdock or Roy Moore clones?
Oh wait those 3 passed all conservative litmus tests, but they all lost to democrats.
Picking people like Oz doesn’t mean Trump wins. They will go against Trump when needed.
I don't care if Trump wants Oprah as his VP, there is no argument for backing radical Hollywood keftist Oz.
Katie pushed for Doug Jones over Roy Moore according to the top democrat in the state that just retired... he thanked her for doing it (and for pushing the local state gas tax).
Trump seems to endorse people he thinks can win.
Only in certain instances does he pick someone else, mainly 2020 steal related people.
“...that has a realistic chance of winning in the state”
According to whom?
The consensus among most of the GOP establishment during the 2016 presidential election was that Trump couldn’t win...until he did.
What is a “radical Hollywood keftist?” It must be a typo. You meant “leftist”—right?
I watched Dr. Mehmet Oz on Fox this morning and he spoke good conservative ideas to me.

Well, the voters of Alabama got who they wanted. Maybe they won’t cry when she puts it to them good and hard. Hopefully they will bend over and take it like a man.
Our side NEVER learns we just can’t seem to EVER STOP electing RINOS!! We keep winning elections YET we have lost our republic!!

What are you going to say when Trump’s picks Britt and Oz, when in office, vote conservative putting the lie to the assumptions you have regarding them? They aren’t going to cross the man who endorsed them and will be reliable conservative votes. The glass is half full.
Barnette was a clear MAGA candidate. But Trump only cares about his win/loss record on endorsements. He does not care about ideology and has endorsed worse than RINOs, like Dr. Oz who supports an assault weapon ban and red flag laws.
If you want to play the "electable" game, then just keep listening to Mitch McConnell, he will tell you who is electable.
You are suffering from memory loss.....Trump endorsed McCain and Romney....both of which turned against him.
RINOs stick with McConnell and McCarthy, not with Trump.
Just like McConnell said....we need the conservative vote but we don't need their agenda.
Trump always wants to be seen as a winner. First.
First, this run-off was one of the lowest turn-outs in forty years.
Second, beyond his district...no one in the state knew much about Mo. His enthusiasm in the past 12 months? Lacking, and I just felt he was either burned-out or past his prime.
Third, if you ask most Alabama folks....no one knows much about her past, and it was an advertisement blitz...with this Rambo-lite-character (Durant) as the third GOP person in the running. Three people with no real public enthusiasm showing.
Finally, some folks got to the Britt chief question...why does she seem like some 14-year old girl in her presentations? It’s not an insult, just that that’s the way she came across.
But seriously, Trump's Achilles is his personnel instincts. They're a virtual dumpster fire. Sessions, the Mooch, Bolton, Tillersn, Mattis, Giuliani, McCabe, Nikki Haley, Sally Yates, Flynn, Hope Hicks, Reince Priebus, Rod Rosenstein. Oh, and Pence...and endorsing McCarthy. And PA and this nonsense.
And this is not an inconsequential Achilles. Indeed, picking Rudy to lead the stolen election charge was a disaster. He may have been America's Mayor but he was out of his league when arguing cases. In fact he was by many accounts hung over and that's why his hair dye was trickling down his face. Maybe that deck was stacked against him, but our "ace" pitcher had no heat and the skipper kept him on the mound out of loyalty.
Ignoring a problem won't make it go away, and this is a big problem. Re-electing Trump is tough enough, but I don't want to spend four years crossing my fingers on him selecting competent pit bulls to administer MAGA.
I don’t have high hopes for her - she was backed by the RINO Establishment after all.
But Mo Brooks first ran a very lazy campaign, then backtracked on telling the truth about the Steal. He deserved to lose Trump’s endorsement and he did....and thus the election.
