It is if you make statements in your “non endorsement” such as “JD would make a fine Senator” or “Obviously, my views are more aligned with JDs” or “JD’s a great guy”.
I can think of one great conservative from Minnesota who when asked about the race, praised both JD and McNut equally.
The fact that a colleague does not endorse a sitting politicians speaks volumes.
Actively endorsing and campaigning for JD speaks more volumes.
And it does not say the same thing as running ads and making appearances praising the “maverick” RINO.
I never said it was the same thing. As I did say, sucking half as bad shouldn't be an option.
I’m not talking about Bachmann. I’m talking about DeMint and Hunter. Hunter won’t endorse because both men have campaigned for him multiple times and his dad was a big McCain supporter. But he also let it be known that JD is the guy whose politics he far prefers.
