I'm with Trump. DeSantis just made a big mistake!

Who is DeSantis supposed to endorse, Bennet?

RINOs are Democrats.

Maybe, but they have an "R" after their name.

(unless they switch parties after elected)

Yep we live in the reality of the day not some future time.
We can maybe influence the future but has to be seen then.

Yeah, not very convincing - I mean, just look at his lack of accomplishments and how he withers in the face of criticism...

Get real.

FU, anti-conservative @sshole.

We FReepers are pro-Trump AND we are pro-DeSantis.

D!cks like you want to sow division among those of us on the right.

"Romney, Murkowski, Cassidy, Cornyn, Tillis, Collins, Ernst, Capito are all Republican’s."

And I know at least half of those were endorsed enthusiastically by Trump.

Trump said on Twitter that Romney “will make a great Senator and worthy successor to @OrrinHatch, and has my full support and endorsement!”

Trump thanked Cassidy for supporting his agenda and tweeted: “You are doing an outstanding job representing the people of Louisiana & the U.S.A. You have my Complete and Total Endorsement!”

"Senator John Cornyn has done an outstanding job for the people of Texas," Trump tweeted. "He is strong on Crime, the Border, the Second Amendment and loves our Military and Vets. John has my complete and total endorsement. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

“Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina has really stepped up to the plate,” the president wrote. “Thom is tough on Crime, Strong on the Border and fights hard against Illegal Immigration. He loves our Military, our Vets and our great Second Amendment. I give Thom my Full and Total Endorsement!”

I mention this not to be controversial, but to say I know Trump was trying to support the party's candidate, even if they had not always been in agreement. I see DeSantis doing the same here, trying to give a push to an R who could use it.

From what I have seen, this was a simple robocall endorsement or something. I don't think I have heard DeSantis doing rallies through Colorado or anything for O'Dea.

In the end, O'Dea must live or die by his actions on his own. Let's just not let stuff like this create rifts among the rest of us. I hope every R in a Senate race wins and we have a solid majority next session, both House and Senate.

That’s a shame. They’ve played the system and took a seat a Republican should be holding - UniParty.

Point taken. But I think there might be some minor differences.

Pres Trump was endorsing Republican incumbents, with no primary opposition, in races against Dems.

I don’t recall any of the ones you mentioned coming out publicly and running their mouths like O’Dea has. Privately, I’m sure they all hate the guy but in public they played the game.

O’Dea picked this fight. And I stopped buying into “Any Republican Senator is better than a Democrat any day of the week”.

One, actively campaigning in Alaska has said that she is planning on voting for the Democrat in the House race. And she’s the one getting help from McConnell.

DeSantis doesn’t have to be Trump Jr. His track record gives him clearance as well as Trump’s recent comments about him. Trump and DeSantis are on the same page when it comes to America.

Typically I decide who to blame for a rift only when I am 9th convinced there is one and that there is some warrant for me to seek the cause of it. Did I mention I was not biting? Thought I had.

So you’re thinking O’Dea has a shot or DeSantis is trying to help the down ballot?

“Nothing has a chance of being stopped under Biden if we don’t get to 51 votes in the Senate.”

Needs to be more than 51.
Collins, Graham, McConnell, Romney and MurCOWski aren’t reliable by any stretch of the imagination.

DeSantis cancelled the Zeldin fundraiser to attend the funeral of a murdered cop. You have a problem with that? How petty can you get?

And he appeared for Vance and Masters. Get your facts straight.
