If Ron were President Elect none of this would be happening because he is a true boss.

Casey is Jackie O and is a doll! She is a true conservative with her darling husband.

Why do you want to raise the debt ceiling?

His team is the voter, not the orange quack.

Why is lowering the debt ceiling a bad thing?

It won't matter. Vivek needs Trump for his MAGA rebranding he's been doing

but Musk doesn't necessarily need Trump, he will be a trillionaire in a year or two either way, he will be a Kingmaker after Trump leaves in 2028

TLDR: Bob Good was the leader of the Freedom Caucus. Trump endorsed his primary challenger after Good endorsed DeSantis for President. Good lost reelection by 370 votes. Trump asked Roy, "what's up with ya boy Bob Good."

Bob Good, a U.S. Representative from Virginia's 5th congressional district, experienced several significant political events recently:

Primary Election Loss: Good faced a primary challenge from state Senator John McGuire in the 2024 Republican primary for Virginia's 5th congressional district. McGuire was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, and Good lost this primary by a narrow margin of 370 votes. Good initially did not concede and sought a recount, but McGuire's victory was certified on July 2, 2024.

Endorsement Fallout: Good had endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Republican presidential primaries, which led to political backlash within his party. Trump's endorsement of McGuire was largely seen as a direct response to Good's support for DeSantis. This situation highlighted the internal GOP tensions and the significant influence Trump still holds over party primaries.

House Freedom Caucus: Good was the chair of the House Freedom Caucus, a group known for its conservative stance within the Republican Party. His role in the caucus and his actions, like supporting the removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House, made him a polarizing figure within the party. His leadership in the caucus was also a point of contention during his primary campaign.

Voting Record and Ideology: Despite his loss, Good maintained a reputation as one of the most conservative members of Congress with a 100% conservative voting record, which was a factor in the discussions around his primary defeat. His political stance was often at odds with more moderate or establishment Republicans, focusing on issues like abortion, gun control, and government spending.

Public Perception: Posts on X suggest a mix of sentiments about Good's political fate. Some users viewed his loss as a consequence of his political choices, particularly his endorsement of DeSantis over Trump. Others felt that Good was unfairly targeted for standing on principle, reflecting broader divisions within the Republican Party between Trump loyalists and those who prioritize conservative ideology.

Bob Good's political trajectory illustrates the complexities and sometimes harsh realities of party politics, especially in an era where endorsements by high-profile figures like Trump can significantly sway outcomes. His situation underscores the ongoing battle for the ideological direction of the Republican Party.

He wants clout

He wants to look a tough guy from Texas

He has a white beard LOL. Come on man, you dont look the part, next. Dont die on this hill.

I am not saying I dont agree with what he wants to do, but it seems like an attention play to me when everyone else has agreed.

Every one of them has been all about reducing spending and all in a DOGE.

Every single one.


Now it's "Primary Roy as he won't let Trump spend all he wants!"

It is simply unreal how these people stand for absolutely nothing. 100% hero worship.

It's fine, Trump already mocked Musk and Musk came back to spend $300 million on the campaign.
Musk and Trump just need to play nice until 2026 midterms. they're largely aligned anyways...
Twitter has alot of MAGA influencers on there, Musk doesnt want to lose that and his influence for the 2028 race
