O'Dea shouldn't have trashed the "titular head" of our party on TV a week before the election. It hurt our long list of candidates endorsed by our titular head and it apparently didn't stop O'Dea from losing big.. There is plenty of time after the election to choose and reject presidential candidates.
Would I still vote for O'Dea? Probably.
Would I endorse O'Dea without adding a qualifier. Probably not.
I certainly wouldn't say that I'm "impressed" with him.
It’s the timing that’s the problem. Trump sometimes speaks when he ought to hold his fire.
