No! We Republicans eat our own.
Cannibals do the same thing.
I never read the word DINO on DUmmies.
But here on FR the word RINO is ubiquitous.

Trump doesn’t have a veto on Senate candidates.

The Guy made his platform to attack Trump. Trump replied that he should talk about immigration and crime because MAGA won’t vote for anti Trump. His response, go on CNN and attack Trump more. Minny Liz is not needed in the Senate for 6 years. I could have let the first instance go but now he’s all in with his never Trumpism. Sorry don’t want him for 6 years and thengwt engraved into the fabric of the party.

Yes. Trump has picked a few doozeys himself.
Speaking of Trump, he desperately needs some new material for his rally. He tells the same stories over, and over, and over.

His supporters do. You aren’t fixing the country by putting Liz Cheney in the Senate

Vote MAGA American even if they happen to be running as a Republican.
Maybe someday, they will not have to.

To: conservative98
A week ago, Colorado senate republican candidate Joe O’Dea said on CNN,
“I don’t think Donald Trump should run again.”
He quickly added,
” I’m going to actively campaign against Donald Trump and make sure that we have got four or five really great Republicans right now; Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Tim Scott.”
President Trump blasted O’Dea the following day {link}.
Today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis picked Joe O’Dea as his only 2022 endorsed senate candidate {link}, recording a robocall for O’Dea that says,
“Hello this is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. America needs strong leadership and desperately. That’s why I’m endorsing Joe O’Dea for U.S. Senate. Colorado, please vote for Joe O’Dea.”
Keep in mind, Ron DeSantis is a governor who campaigns on his success as a governor and has been rallying exclusively for governor candidates. However, despite not endorsing the republican candidate in the Colorado state race (Heidi Ganahl), Governor DeSantis went out of his way to support the only explicitly anti-Trump Senate candidate in 2022, Joe O’Dea.
- When Paul Ryan endorsed Ron DeSantis, you could argue that DeSantis never asked for it.
- When Jeb Bush endorsed DeSantis, again you could argue that DeSantis never asked for it.
However, the transparency of DeSantis endorsing O’Dea who has stated his intent to actively campaign against any MAGA candidate… well, you can’t say that had nothing to do with DeSantis.
Face it.
This is what is clear.
The DeSantis 2024 organizers are a mixture of allied republican establishment figures, corporate party donors and former Ted Cruz base supporters (Never Trumpers) who have united in common cause to stop the MAGA working-class coalition from taking full control of the republican party. An endorsement for DeSantis from Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger is increasingly likely as soon as the midterm election is over.
Ron DeSantis is increasingly being exposed by his own actions/inactions and the actions of others.
Let us not pretend any longer.
I could smell the establishment GOP in the Florida winds over the spring and summer. When DeSantis went into the bunker on the day of the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid, remained silent for 5 days, and then exited bunker with a new establishment brand image crew and communications team, it was obvious what just happened.
We accept things as they are, not as we would wish them to be. 94% funded by Wall Street hedge fund managers, billionaires and multinational corporations,… to the tune of over $200,000,000….. with a national campaign launch, book launch and national television advertising strategy…. It became brutally obvious.
Ron DeSantis in 2024 is Jeb Bush + Ted Cruz in 2016.
- Five Days in Bunker following Mar-a-Lago Raid 8/9/22
- No expressed support for Donald Trump following Mar-a-Lago raid 8/9/22.
- New brand image consulting team 8/14/22
- New communications team 8/14/22
- National advertising campaign
- 94% billionaire and corporate funding
- Raised $200+ million for state governor race?
- Cancels Lee Zeldin fundraiser after meeting with New York real estate donor who supports Hochul
- Endorsed by Club For Growth (C4G)
- Voted to support TPP trade agreement and Obama Fast Track trade authorization
- Supports all Ukraine funding and U.S. government spending in Ukraine
- Endorsed Florida Red Flag Laws, most firearm confiscation of any state
- Silent over the 100 Florida citizen J6 detainees (largest number in nation)
- Asked legislature to criminalize boycotts of Israeli companies, including pharmaceutical companies
- No support for E-verify system or employment law against illegal alien hires
- Endorsed by Paul Ryan
- Endorsed by Jeb Bush
Sooner or later people have to admit the obvious.
Ron DeSantis is a generally good governor, but he is being dishonest in his national intents.

“Mitch McConnell (and now Ron Desantis), who hopes last-minute resources could swing the race and hand over the majority.”
Mitch does not want him to hand him the majority. The current polls show that the Republicans will have 55 seats afer the election. And I agree.
We don’t need this loser, Mitch and Establishment do. Mitch wants more people whose votes he can control, it is all about power.

Your candidate (whoever this great man is) needs new supporters, by that any supporters. His rallies are overflowing to the tune of tens of thousands. Do you want some cheese with your whine?

Bennet (D) would like to thank Trump for his support. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Perhaps with Trump’s support, the Democrats will control the Senate.

Bush League, Rinos and MAGA. Then conservatives like me. I am not really MAGA I never was. I voted for Trump because it was anybody but Clinton. I was pleasantly surprised about Trump. Same here. It was the promise to follow Federalist Society recommendations for judges that win me over. I didn't trust him on other issues but like you, was pleasantly surprised.
I don't like the whole "caudillo" aura that has developed around him. Seems the opposite of what Washington established at the founding of the country. I'll still vote for him if he's the nominee, but I'd really like an alternative.
To: enumerated
I take your point overall.
Let’s see how Ron handles things moving forward with Trump.
