• A question for conservatives

    A question for conservatives:

    What do you feel that you can infer about a political candidate based solely
    on Trump's endorsement of, or refusal to endorse, their campaign?

    He sucks at endorsing good candidates. Kelly Loeffler was a RHINO and Trump rallied for her only for her to walk away and say "I don't want to be a senator anymore." She ran a weak campaign and Trump invested in a skank.

    He trashed Mitch Mcconnell a lot, and I like Mitch. It seemed like he was trashing Mitch because he wasn't sticking up for Trump.

    But Trump is totally right about all the RHINOS and Democrats he trashed.

    So, if I understand you correctly, Trump was wrong about all of the "RHINOS" that he didn't trash, and right about all of the "RHINOS" that he did trash, and you can't really infer anything from his endorsements but he sucks at endorsing good candidates? Did I get that right?

    If not, please rephrase because I couldn't find a real solid answer in there.

    Yes. Now don't go around saying "most Republican voters say that Trump sucks
    at endorsing good candidates," because hello, I'm just one guy.

    Not to worry, it was an open question. I was just curious about how much Trump's endorsement means to the conservatives here compared to how much it seems to mean to the candidates themselves.

    It was not even my intention to argue with you about the opinion I asked you
    to give. I just wanted to make sure I understood you correctly.
