What the frick is this shite?

quote:

President Donald Trump endorsed a candidate in a key House race on Thursday who previously considered leaving the Republican Party, told Trump to drop out in 2016, and who voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump endorsed Carlos Gimenez on Thursday night in Florida’s 26th Congressional District, tweeting: “Carlos will win big, very exciting. Great for Florida, great for USA! He has my complete and total Endorsement!”


quote:

Trump’s decision to back Gimenez effectively means that he has turned his back on Irina Vilariño, a pro-Trump refugee from communist Cuba who came to the U.S. when she was a little girl and is a highly successful business owner.

That the President is a practical man that wants to win a house seat in Miami dade and knows that he must have candidates that can win if he wants to take the house back from Nancy Pelosi and get real immigration enforcement legislation passed. A far right guy isn't winning in Miami Dade.

We need every vote we can get to make Kevin McCarthy or Steve Scalise the Speaker.

She is a Cuban refugee that backs trump. No clue what the other guy is but doing this sure as shite won’t make the Cuban Americans happy.

The guy he endorsed is also Cuban, was mayor of Miami, and appears to have done well there.

Just taking a wild arse guess, I'd say he has a pretty good chance of winning which is the most important thing at this point. A Republican winning Miami-Dade would be a big thing.

She lives in the wrong district. Obviously nothing personal against her.

A Trump frick up.

If Gimenez wins, he's one less vote to make Nancy Pelosi speaker and that's all that matters. Basically the Miami version of Susan Collins who is also one less vote to make Chuck Schumer Majority Leader.

The real MAGA crew from the heartland, the south and the rust belt will take care of needed policy reforms for immigration enforcement, healthcare and so on.

I understand the calculus Trump made here.

What suggests Vilariño would lose?
