He didn’t endorse Tina Peters in Colorado. I was surprised he didn’t endorse Andrew Giuliani.
It may seem a bit cynical, but President Trump’s main criterion for choosing whether or not to endorse a candidate is the likelihood that candidate will win.
He needs to pick winners in order to build the perception that he is “kingmaker”
We would all like to think that it’s Trump’s endorsement that caused Doug Mastriano to win, but in all likelihood it was the other way around - Trump’s internal polling showed Doug winning and that’s why Trump endorsed him.
It’s not a very sexy aspect of politics - but this is exactly what Trump should be doing right now - picking winners to keep his win/loss record as high as possible. This is the way his power in the Republican Party will be measured.
My guess is Tina Peters and Andrew Giuliani were headed for a loss and President Trump had to cut his losses.
