Embattled Trump rips McConnell for GOP spending but doles out little of his own cash
Nypost ^ | 11/12/2022 | Rich Calder

Posted on 11/12/2022 10:19:11 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Donald Trump – who himself has come under fire for Republicans’ lackluster performance in the midterm elections – is blaming Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for the party’s apparent failure to flip the chamber’s majority in its favor.

“Mitch McConnell, the Republicans Broken Down Senate Leader, does nothing about this,” Trump on social media Friday night. “He’s too busy spending vast amounts of money on bad Senator Lisa [Murkowski] of Alaska when Kelly [Tshibaka] is FAR better.”

Yet Trump’s own spending choices in this year’s midterm elections have also drawn criticism.

Why are the MSM, the Establishment GOP, the Never-Trumpers clamoring to DeSantis?

Well, I'm not the smartest guy in the room but could it be that unlike three-time loser Trump, DeSantis has a record of winning elections?

Call me crazy but when you win, people support you. When you keep losing, people start to move on.

Nobody likes losers. They smell bad and their loser stench rubs off on you and then you smell bad too.

“ Is this back and forth screaming at each other really productive?”

Only if it finally, once and for all, destroys the perverted and corrupt Republican Party forever.

We live in a one party elitist oligarchy anyway, we might as well not have to put up with the extreme stupidity and perfidy of the Republican Party along with that.

Sit down and speak when you know what you are talking about. Trump organized, flew to and held over 30 rallies nationwide to introduce candidates to massive MAGA crowds. He raised $350 million to help with their campaigns. I don’t remember anything close from the GOPe or anyone else.

Every sofa warrior on this thread could do more and it would never be a fraction of what Trump does

Just before the election, Trump fretted publicly that he would not receive sufficient credit for the results.

You can always count on theliberals and the media (but I repeat myself) to offer helpful advise for Republicans.

He did his part. The GOPe did not and punished GOP candiates by pullin mone out of their races. I never even saw a GOP commercial this year paid by that party in DC.

None of this is Trump’s fault.

I don’t care if people want to to split this party. That is up to them who they vote for. GOP isn’t going to win again anyway. That is based on the last 3 elections. The first time Trump won was an anomaly because the democrats were shocked as hell. They perfected the steal after that. But they also cheated in that election.

“Trump needs to remain the face of the MAGA movement. With all of his flaws, there’s no one else to stand in the breech, and he deserves continuing support from the base.”

They hope to split the party so that they can focus ALL of their attacks and lawfare on DeSantis. They have to help him befor they set their sights on hurting him.

Trump is correct

Mitch didn’t use the power and money he has for the capture of the senate. They did nothing to help Walker because he was Trump’s choice and they figured he’d lose

Turtle is useless. On all fronts

The GOP Establishment cried........The same GOP Establishment that is backing him now? That one?

It’s amazing how he did so much by himself. No one else is/was involved.

I don’t live in Florida, so....feel free to cite any articles or sources, as I’m unaware. Educate me.

Parents didn’t fight school boards, only he did. What did he do and what members of the GOP Establishment came out against him and cried?

Disney? What did he do and what part of the Establishment went after him and cried?

The Vineyard? What members of the GOP Establishment came out against what he did and cried?

What member/group of GOP Establishment told he was going too far?

He won every battle he took on...what battles? Was it Mail In Voting, Drop Boxes and Ballot Harvesting? The legislature didn’t pass the law banning them? He did all of that?

I wonder why the state even needs a House, Senate, all the agencies and their department heads, supervisors and employees, needs sheriffs like Grady Judd and all the other Republican-law & order Sheriffs that are most of them in the state.

He gave his “endorsement”, much more valuable than money!

Look at the statistics.

And why is he begging the RNC to pay for his mass amount of legal bills and the stupid RNC is doing it too.

After all of the knives they have stuck in my Presidents back, that's the least those dirtbags should be doing.

Im sorry but why again should Trump have to give ANY of HIS money to help the GOP..what, is the GOP broke or something LOL..he’s a private citizen, he doesnt have to give his money, he didnt accept ANY money a President, went through hell for 4 yrs, now the GOP wants him to cough up his own cash, they got nerve I tell ya

Why would the National Republican Senatorial Committee give Blake Masters large sums of money? Master was clear and unambiguous that he would not vote for McConnell as Majority Leader.
