"This is weird: last time Donald Trump talked about Katie Britt, he said she was unqualified for the Senate. "Donald Trump is the only man in American politics who could get conned by Mitch McConnell twice
in an Alabama Senate race.
"Let’s just admit it: Trump endorses the wrong people sometimes. He endorsed Mitt Romney, he endorsed John McCain and now he’s endorsed Katie Britt, who his own son, Don Jr. called 'Alabama’s Liz Cheney.'
"Alabama grassroots remember in 2017 when Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell got involved in a Senate primary in Alabama—and we rejected them.
"The people of Alabama will decide."



This is gonna get Trump on the campaign trail for Britt.

Can't wait to hear how Trump is gonna blast him.

You have to weigh the good and the bad. Nobody is perfect.

So you are saying you won't vote for him because he makes one or two bad decisions out of 100? That's fricking ridiculous. That's how Democrats vote and pander. One item voters. Don't be like that.

This isn't a "bad decision". This is proof that Donald Trump's interests are not in the welfare of this country, but rather in his brand. It was clear early on that Britt had substantially more financial (lobby) dollars than Brooks. When polls started showing Brooks at the back of the race, Trump dropped him. Now that polling is showing Britt is in a good position in the runoff, he backs her. Trump is a clown. He's in this for himself and he is not a serious person.

Britt's loyalties lie ONLY to the ones who can get her on committees so she can start steering pork money. That's it. That's not Trump. That's the RINO scum who wouldn't back his immigration policies, wouldn't back his China stances, fought him on budget and basically got near nothing done when the GOP had congress and the White House. But Trump's ego is more important so he backs his enemies.

No, I too cannot vote for this guy. He has served his purpose and needs to get out of the way. Hopefully Desantis is more authentic, but at this point, I'm skeptical all around. Ron Paul was right. The Fed is the problem.

How does Britt compare to David Perdue?

Is that what Trump does, hitch his wagon to the most popular front running candidate? Like the JD Vance long shot guy in Ohio? And sticking with Dr. Oz despite all the grumbling from so many of his supporters about it? I’m not feeling it on your opinion there, will have to agree to disagree.

Exactly, what’s the point of having him back if he’s going to continue to hire garbage around him? Then he is going to spend all his time fighting the media and going down bullshite rabbit holes.

Ron’s the man at this point. I love trump, but let’s be honest.

Even without the TRUMP endorsement, people that will vote in a primary know who they want....

Meanwhile, Rand Paul — who endorsed Mo when Mo was down in the polls and running a distant 3rd — is sticking with his endorsement and making campaign appearances with Mo in the closing weeks.

Sen. Rand Paul to campaign with Brooks in Huntsville, Homewood ahead of runoff election….

Lol and upon what are you basing your conclusion that Desantis is a superior judge of character? What selections and endorsements have you taken into consideration in this assessment?

We both know you’re just intrigued by the talk of Desantis’ big dong, is what I see most amongst the following. I only kid, seriously, but I do think you and others would be better served by simply asserting that as it stands you’re more confident at the thought of Candidate Desantis than Candidate Trump. And that’s that. No weak excuses, it’s just how it is. Personally I think it’s a preposterous conclusion at this particular stage, but nobody gives a shite what I think. Own that shite.

Clearly I've lost confidence in Trump.

What's the one issue front and center right now for conservatives? Inflation. It's undeniable.

Trump just gave his endorsement to a lobbyist who was mentored by the biggest pork parasite this state has likely ever seen. That tells me that Trump is only interested in one thing...Trump. It's not something I didn't know on some level, he is still Donald Trump. I was hoping, however, after seeing nearly his entire Washington DC circle and a healthy slice of congressional republicans stab him repeatedly in the back since the previous election, he might have a little more sense than to put his name on a Chamber of Commerce creature. That hope was in vain.

I have no idea what DeSantis would be as President. He's been a strong Governor of a complicated state. Right now, I'm willing to take a chance on him. It's either that or just admit defeat and wait for the fall, because Trump is not the answer...and it pains me to say that.

I just think it’s a very simple strategy for Trump: there will be but one single Republican candidate to run against whoever the Democrat witch may be. Trump doesn’t really get to set up who the Republican primary candidates will be (nor should he, and he’s very much understanding of that), thus bottom line is in the event he were to become President again, he wants the best possible person of the available options. Yes sometimes that very much means choosing the best option amongst less than ideal people. Can I confirm this personally, no, but I suspect he has done his homework in the task of choosing the best amongst the available options. I don’t get the stubborn resistance to that reality. He’s a pragmatist and is less concerned with stroking folk’ “principles” and more concerned with the best possible situation resulting from what there is to work with in an effort to net the best possible results legislatively speaking if he were President.

I know I probably could’ve made that much more simple and straightforward, and I’m sorry for that. Work with me here.
