Trump endorsed his opponent Vern Buchanan.
“Trump endorsed his opponent Vern Buchanan.”
Hopefully that came AFTER Hyde’s supposedly-disqualifying issues.
Aside from the Miami-area RINOs — Gimenez and Salazar in particular — who vote with Democrats as often as they vote with Republicans, Buchanan is pretty much the squishiest member of the entire Florida delegation and there’s no reason for Trump to go out of his way to support Buchanan aside from “winning percentage” purposes. That district could do far better than Buchanan.
Given how much the media gloats when a Trump-endorsed candidate loses, I can see how he might feel a desperate need to “win” as much as possible even if it only means picking a candidate who was 95% certain to prevail anyway.
Speaking of Trump’s “losses”... in November, when (uh, I mean “if”) Brian Kemp loses to Ghettopottamus in Georgia, will the media call that a “win” for Trump? I suppose they might be that magnanimous, seeing as how the real losers are the good people of the state of Georgia and that’s more important to the media & other Democrats than some pyrrhic Trump win.
