A massive percentage of those made free throws were on a 3 foot goal. The ones that really counted were regulation height, and Donny was about as effective as Shaq in making those.


So you are saying DeSantis and Kemp as incumbents beating dog shite candidates in their races were free throws on a 3 foot goal and shouldn't count?

How many endorsements in actual competitive races won?

You can't count all those safe seats and have a meaningful metric.

Are you suggesting that Trump's endorsement of the GOP local sheriff in east Bumfrick, Alabama isn't meaningful?

Well, DeSantis didn't endorse him. Sounds like winning to me.

Why win elections when you can just endorse winners and keep The Grift going?

Not angry. Just pointing out how absurd it is to tout 174 races won with his endorsement when 160 or more were slam dunks.

This just makes you look dumb and shows you are easily influenced by the propaganda.

Lazy catch phrases made up by the media and left. Sad

I've been saying you're a cult for 6 years.

Hell, the media might have pulled that from me.

Try again.

Trump lost the Senate for us. Who cares is he endorsed some a-hole in a completely red district? When it mattered, Trump struck out. Nice you want to give him a participation trophy but those are for losers. Losers like Trump.

Now do his endorsements in the 7-8 swing states that will decide the 2024 election and you’ll understand why many think it’s time to move on.


Biden didn’t even win all of the swing states.

Trump voted in Florida that went pretty red.

I think the blame goes on the people that didn’t vote for Trump or the Republican candidate in their area.

We have plenty on this board.

Yes, Trump supporters can point to 17 bajillion winning candidates that had a Trump endorsement, but one can draw few inferences from the election of an unopposed GOP candidate for precinct dogcatcher in a deep Red county in East Bomfunk, Mississippi.

The proper question is not whether Trump “bet right” on easy calls. The question is whether he affects outcomes. I submit that he DOES … negatively.

JD Vance is actually the exception that proves the rule.

As far as I can tell, he is the single, solitary candidate in the entire country that gained any significant benefit from a Trump endorsement, in that he was losing when endorsed and went on to win.

Sounds to me like you're the gullible one. The guy was endorsing people that basically had no competition or waited close to the end when he knew who was predicted to win.

Oh, wow, endorsing 160 candidates like Scalise and Kennedy in Louisana is some real pull.

I’m not a Trump diehard, but looking in on this argument from the outside it seems that if Trump fails then he’s discredited for being an albatross for the party, and if he succeeds he gets no credit because big deal.

The point being that opponents of Trump are trying to set up a no-win situation for him, and for that reason alone they need to be ignored.
