Trump irritates House Freedom Caucus with endorsements
Punch Bow News ^ | June 10, 2024 | Mica Soellner

“He is endorsing moderates in most races if there’s a conservative in the race,” said Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio). “We can’t send the swamp any people that are just going to keep funding the status quo.”

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

If you are fighting for anything less than freedom, you are never winning.

Do we know that the proposed “conservatives” are? In addition, DJT is not gonna support someone who cannot win. If the “conservative” raves on and on about stopping all abortion, no exceptions, he is not viable in any position. Presumably, DJT vetted the candidates and did not go for ones who cannot win.

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.

bobb-very good. It’s more than that. Too many of our people are all talk. If they’re incumbents Trump can make them grow a spine as opposed to training any newcomer who’s worried about losing in 2 years.

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!

We don’t need more MTG’s. Trump doesn’t need a Vice President either. Trump is our leader and we don’t need anyone upstaging him. MTG is perfect-makes the men look pale in comparison.

That purity tests leads to perpetually minority status and the eventual complete inability to control the agenda.

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.

If you're constantly promoting and voting in RINOs, you are never making any progress for the conservative agenda.

Lest we forget, during Trump's first term, he had majorities in both the house and the senate. However, these RINO/assistant democrats did everything in their power to stymie Trump's agenda and help the democrats. They would not let Trump get rid of Sessions or Rosenswine. They would not fund the border wall (they have money for everything the democrats want), they would not let Trump fire Comey, they kept the Russia collusion fraud going to hinder and distract him, they gave him cabinet members like useless Bill Barr and the CIA gal.

The RINO's did everything they could to block key conservative agenda items, to help the democrats.

Worthless

Anyone who pretends to be on the side of US interests and does nothing but complain about Trump are worthless.

And this line of thinking, my FRiend, is why we are in this position in the first place.
Politics is not a team sport.
You don’t vote for somebody just because they are on My? team.
If you are saying that this person is un electable then you are playing right into the deep states hands.
Vote your concience.
Learn that if you have to vote for a third party, it’s not a vote for the democommie.
It’s a vote for the third party candidate.
Time to just say NO to the bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’Ts.
They are traitors.
They need to be eliminated at all costs.
