President Trump took failed Republican Colorado Senate nominee Joe O’Dea to task on Monday in a blistering statement, lambasting candidates who shifted their policy priorities after winning their primaries and dumping the MAGA agenda.
“Joe O’Dea lost his race in Colorado by over 12 points because he campaigned against MAGA,” Trump wrote in an official statement. “Likewise, candidates who shifted their ‘messaging’ after winning big in the Primaries (Bolduc!) saw big losses in the General.”
Don Bolduc was the U.S. Republican Senate nominee in New Hampshire who lost to Democrat Sen. Maggie Hassan this midterm cycle. O’Dea was considered a moderate Republican in the Colorado Senate race and lost his election to Colorado incumbent Democrat Sen. Michael Bennett, per Fox News.
Via RSBN, O’Dea specifically drew the ire of Trump and his loyal voting base this fall when the Senate nominee unwisely told CNN that if the 45th president ran for office again in 2024, he would “actively campaign against Donald Trump and make sure that we’ve got four or five really great Republicans right now.”
Trump responded to O’Dea’s comments, noting, “MAGA doesn’t Vote for stupid people with big mouths! Good luck Joe!”
O’Dea’s midterm loss in Colorado seems to indicate that Trump’s prediction was correct.
“Will they ever learn their lesson?” Trump continued in his Monday statement. “You can’t win without MAGA!”
Trump’s warning to weak-kneed Republican candidates came on the heels of “232 wins and only 22 losses” this midterm season, according to the president.
Trump spent the entirety of 2022 staging powerful “Save America” rallies around the country, rallying for strong America First candidates – most of whom rocketed to success in the general election.
In fact, the House of Representatives officially fell under majority Republican control following the midterms, as reported by RSBN.
It works very well. He won 2 prez elections.
“President Trump NEVER blamed his wife.. total lie. Better check out those things God hates.”
So why did Trump endorse such a loser?
We’re reaching a point where losing on principle is no longer an option. Give the Dims their due....when it comes to playing dirty, they’re the best. They’ve learned from some of the vilest regimes to have ever existed, and they’re lacking in any principle, save “the ends justify the means.”
“They” can’t win without MAGA. But we can’t win without “them”! Time to find a way to satisfy both sides adequately. Or get used to BOTH sides losing to Democrats.
That’s true.
...but they don’t want to win.

That’s a good point.
Trump never said that he blamed his wife.
You're posting Fake News.
You do it a lot.
Indeed, they don’t want to win.
Mitch and his RINOS will cut deals with Chuckie and the Rats to
get a cut of the pie, regardless.
Now why did your god, stick out his nose and endorse a clown in Colorado?
The President is right ... as usual.
President Trump’s chance of winning the nomination can only be helped if he drives home his points with some data. Apparently some believe that’s not a reasonable goal.
And your “go away” comment is childish. There’s nothing - and I mean nothing - you can do in that regard.
I predict that you will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
Fact: there is more loyalty towards Trump than towards the GOP party.
One can agree or disagree as to if this is bad or good, but it’s a fact.
More importantly, you can’t win without fair elections. Unless and until that’s addressed, the rest is meaningless.
Kari Lake’s genius move to call out anyone at a rally who was a “McCain Republican” to “get out”.

Wasn’t aware she did that, but until she demonstrates otherwise I’ll remain convinced she’s one of the few Republicans who is actually worthy of my full support, financial and otherwise.
Yes, I noticed that. He showed a real lack of respect for someone who went out of his way to endorse and get him elected.
The RINOs were quite comfortable with this country having Hillary Clinton as president in 2016. They put up Yeb Bush and Chris Christie, knowing full well neither had a chance of beating her and they were quite comfortable with that. It was the outsider, Donald Trump, the MAGA Man, who they tried to derail because he could beat her.
The RINO solution? Stab America in the back and collaborate with the Democrats in 2020 to deny We The People the man we rightfully elected president.
From what I can see must rank and file R’s support restorations line Maga talks about.
They mostly don’t really want to have to vote for the country club type GOO-establishment candidates anymore. But yes, sometimes rheyre given no really good choice so they’re stuck
What policies is he referring to?
Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:
Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?
