Donald Trump Just Made an Absolutely Head-Scratching Endorsement

Donald Trump held a rally in North Carolina on Saturday night, but it wasn’t the normal theatrics and hilarity that the former president delivers that made the biggest impression. Rather, it was an endorsement that seems to have come out of nowhere, and I’ll go so far as to say it may be his worst ever (yes, worse than Morgan Ortega) — at least as a Republican politician.
Honestly, I know some people take umbrage with anyone ever questioning Trump’s decision-making, but this is truly a head-scratching moment.
I’m not sure offering endorsements to people based on them being on TV for a long time is the best strategy.

In ten years, will we look at Trump the way we look at W now?

The country does not need more Rinos, such as Collins, Murkowski, Romney. This guy, Oz, is more of the same. I support Trump, but sometimes I wish he would just keep his mouth shut. Sometimes he is his own worsrt enemy. Point to some of those who he had in his cabinet and other "advisors" in his Presidency.

No, certainly not perfect, OP. Trump is testing his power over voters and he may have misjudged his support.

Being TOTALLY ignorant of Penn politics: I wonder if PDJT has endorsed the “best of the rest.”
I don’t know. But I hope this isn’t as grave as some of you think.
(#1, No. I will not.)

I thought there was a story a few weeks back that Oz was dropping out of this and back to TV due to low poll numbers. He was an establishment candidate and had no support. Maybe Trump is showing the establishment his endorsement is the only way to get support. Hopefully Oz will show he is not America First and Trump can dump him like Mo Brooks.

Just returned from a gym where most members are republican. We were all talking and say NO WAY will we support OZ. We don't care if Trump did endorse him. Oz reminds everyone of Romney if that. He is no republican let alone conservative. Bad choice Trump, you have stayed neutral. PA will NOT carry Oz even with Trump's endorsement. #2 made a very good observation.

For the record, I voted for Trump, and would probably do so again.
His accomplishments were undeniable. He just needs better advisors. Hard to find in the Swamp.

Well, I probably wouldn't vote for Dr. Oz either! But in this Country we get to choose who we vote for, so If people don't like him they just won't vote for him no matter if Trump endorsed him or not! 100% of of Candidates, endorsed by Trump, do NOT win! Yes he has a good record, but it's not 100%.

Perhaps by endorsing a daytime TV star, Donald Trump can corral a lofo cattle herd or two into the fold. They won't pay to play, but they'll be loyal to their daytime star. Just look how the herd of Oprah followers pant after her every spoken or written word!

First of all, Trump plays 4D chess game- and plays to win.
I thought Dr Oz withdrew his running for office- but whatever
I think that Oz is an interesting choice, probably a RINO- However, Oz is an outsider, a self made millionaire- Trump respects hard work -
I think if we still have a Republic in 10 years we will be fortunate-

I live in PA. Does Oz live in PA?
Oz has too many liberal friends. He might be more electable. Will he be able to be '1 of the 100' or will his ego expect to be the center of everyone's attention?
He can't be worse than toomey.

Masters Weeknd Analogy: Even a professional golfer with undeniable talent and experience asks his caddy about the choice of club. Historically Trump’s obvious weakness has been his choices of people. His “chooser” is malfunctioning; he needs a better caddy!

First, I do not want Trump to run again. Second, his endorsements are valuable but I'd rather some of his chosen fail to win office. That MIGHT just open the door to other candidates in '24. I am optimistic Republicans will control both the House and Senate in November but it won't be enough because Dims will still have the Oval office even if the 25th Amendment pushes Biden out the door.

I'm surprised we haven't had the "Oh the Never Trump trolls are out this morning!"
I voted for him twice, and no fair-minded person can deny his accomplishments. But he has a record of terrible appointments, as well as failure to act against terrible appointments.
More significantly, he cannot keep his mouth shut whenever he feels a personal slight, or someone-- just about anyone, including Hollywood nitwits-- insults him. It demeans the office to have the President of the United States involved in endless Twitter squabbles and it ramps up the already dangerous level of anger in our nation.
I want to win in 2024. Enough of Trump's theatrics and narcissism, DeSantis, with the endorsement of Trump and the support of his MAGA followers, would win at a walk. I hope Trump has enough genuine patriotism to see that.

I'm with those that want Trump to just shut up once in a while. Throwing out ideas and comments at random might be fine in the boardroom, but not so much for public office. Just watched the movie Patton, and like Patton, Trump's worst enemy sometimes is his mouth.

Mmmmmmmm. We note the presence of our favorite Bush Romney Rove sycophant, boldly stepping out of hiding courageously in the tall grass. Oz if nothing else has no preexisting establishment loyalties.

People seem to know a lot about how Doctor Oz will conduct himself in politics given that he has never been engaged in politics in this country. If Donald Trump has one fault, it's the tendency to give people a chance to prove themselves by giving them the benefit of the doubt, so sue him.
As for the RINOs that Pennsylvania has been stuck with for the past few years (especially you, Mister Toomey) Oz has a much higher intellect. Betting against Donald Trump is not a situation in which most people come out ahead so I'll believe in him and hope for another great four years. He beats anything else in either party.

We used to think Trump was a liberal because he made business deals with liberals and had liberal friends.

No Dr. Oz. He's compromised by his Turkey connections. And the Turkey govt. hats us.

OP, he will vote however the DuPont family and their friends tell him to vote. IMO he will be worse than Romney if he makes the Senate his home for the next several decades.

Surely Trump does not still have Mark Meadows whispering in his ear!
Trump's weak spot is in discerning the character of those advising him. He should trust his gut more.
Trump's endorsement should reflect that this person would support Trump and his agenda.
When there is no excellent option, he should just stay out of it. Republican voters have been well trained in "hold your nose and vote", and do not need to be prodded by Trump to pull the R lever.
However, I am done with holding my nose and voting. If the RNC keep pushing on us RINOs like Romney, Collins, Cassidy, Murkowski... I see no difference at all in the end results. They need to lose, so they will not become intrenched. The RNC needs to stop allowing the R to be beside those names.

Dr. Oz is an interesting study.
He built his reputation with his TV show, and he is a nodder.
I come from a family of nodders. If you walked into a room where my three siblings and I were conversing,. you wou/ld see 4e continuously nodding heads.
But nodding for us, like Dr. Oz, is not agreement. My evil big sister and I never agree on anything. My kid brother, a retired psychologist, is also wrong about almost everything. But you wouldn't know that if you just watched us.
When I began doing labor mediation, I quickly broke myself of the nodding habit. It was misleading the parties to the dispute.
Dr/. Oz will have to learn to do the same.
Both Oz and McCormick are implicitly claiming an epiphany of sorts. I will take each of them at their word. That means either of thgem would be acceptable as a Senator.
After all, our other Senator in Pennsylvania is Little Bobby Casey, the slow witted, sleepy, lazy Catholic baby killer, who demonstrates that with his votes, but not with his words. He has worn out that back bench, and I hope either Oz or McCormick takes Bobby down in 2024.

The OZ endorsemsent is a real head scratcher. There are seven people running for the PA senate seat including two women, one white, one black:
Kathy Barnette (Republican): MAGA businesswoman from Montgomery County, occasional Fox News commentator;
Jeff Bartos (Republican): A real estate investor from Montgomery County;
Sean Gale (Republican): A lawyer from Montgomery County;
David McCormick (Republican) A former CEO of one of the world's largest hedge funds;
Mehmet Oz (Republican): A TV celebrity doctor;
Carla Sands (Republican): from Mechanicsburg, Trumps' former ambassador to Denmark;
George Bochetto (Republican): A Philadelphia defense attorney who sued the city over boxing-up of a statue of Christopher Columbus.
The truly sad part is we do not know who any of these people really are at heart. Democrats are smart enough to jump on board the "republican" electoral train and run for office as such. MAGA Republicans cannot win the endorsement or financial support of the traditional republican party. Rinos are smart enough to hide behind MAGA talk.
We won't find out who they really are until they are in office, make legislative choices consistent with their real values, and once again disappoint (or surprise) the Republican voters who elected them.
If Trump really wants to do some good, he should focus on the Attorney General and Governor offices - both of which would help ensure free and fair elections in PA.

Trump's weakest link is his terrible judgement of personnel. He hasn't even acknowledged this from his 1st term. To me, it makes DeSantis look better and better...
