Sorry folks, but Trump has endorsed far worse than O’Dea. To make this a stain on DeSantis is hypocritical.

Stain?

I would call it a ding.

I like DeSantis a lot.

But this is a ding.

O'Dea pretends that he's not establishment. But when you go on the establishment propaganda networks and cross Trump off your 2024 list this far ahead of time, you are definitely shoulder deep in the establishment.

The media doesn’t care about republican purity tests. They would never want such a thing.

They would, however, would be very happy to dow discord and division.
It’s what they do.
It’s all they do.

Desantis just wants a Republican to win the seat.
The Hill just wants to stir up division among Republicans.
Don’t take the bait.

I meant the idea that every Republican has to support Trump.

O”Dea is supported by the deep state. He supports abortion and I suppose baby parts sales. Colorado is under attack by the deep state.

The media is trying to divide us. Don’t fall for it.

Common psychological game called, “Let’s you and him fight”.

What are Republicans to now support Democrats because a Republican who won the primary doesn’t like Trump?

This is the ONLY endorsement for the senate DeSantis has made.

You don't see him helping Oz or Masters or Vance now do you. Why is this?

DeSantis also cancelled his fundraiser with Lee Zeldin who's running for governor in NY

See the pattern yet?

We are starting to do purity tests now.

Are you directing that questing to O'Dea. He's the one who is so pure that he has to go on the LWO's MSNBC and boot Trump off his presidential preference list this far ahead of time.

Seems to me that Trump and his supporters are simply responding to a fight that they didn't want to start.

As far as DeSantis goes, he is free to endorse O'Dea. And we are free to criticize hime for endorsing such a snake.

And I still like DeSantis.

The media is trying to divide us, and it seems to be working.
Don’t fall for their BS tricks.

That's false. DeSantis has campaigned for some of the others.

What is DeSantis doing? He’s doing nothing out of the ordinary. He’s just doing what he’s told to do as an establishment Republican stooge.

He’s obviously trying to ride the fence… get the establishement/Uniparty GOP and it’s machine behind him and try to get enough Trump supporters to abandon Trump for him by showing he’s a MAGA guy too….

I would say most MAGA folks would be willing to vote for DeSantis, however I doubt a majority would choose him over Trump in a head to head competition. Everyone knows 2020 was stolen, and Trump supporters are going to give him his second term if he’s on the ballot.

Because of this, short of a major black swan event changing something, I just don’t see any path where Trump loses the nomination if he runs.

True. But O'Dea is part of it.

DeSantis can use his good name to endorse O'Dea if he likes, but I don't trust O'Dea in the least.

He’s not up to anything hes just supporting a Republican so we can have an additional pick up and yes so he can have more political support and there is nothing wrong with that.

Opposing any Republican in the general election against against a leftist Democrat is absolutely counter productive and it’s unfortunate that Trump had to get into this.

Agreed.

The infighting should be reserved for the primaries, however for the general, we need to support GOPers (warts and all) and oppose Dems (who just love to pose as "moderates" and love to change the topic from economy, border, defense, crime, and cultural decay).

DeSantis has shown wisdom, big picture thinking, and courage with this endorsement.

I believe DeSantis campaigned for Lake, Masters, Mastriano and Vance.
