Former President Donald Trump ripped Colorado Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea on Monday as ballots began rolling out to every voter in the state.
“There’s this RINO character in the Great State of Colorado, Joe O’Dea, that is running against the incumbent Democrat for the United States Senate, who is having a good old time saying he wants to ‘distance’ himself from President Trump, and other slightly nasty things,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “MAGA doesn’t Vote for stupid people with big mouths. Good luck Joe!”
The morning statement wasn’t helpful to Republicans hoping for an upset in Colorado’s dark-horse Senate race where a win over Democratic incumbent Michael Bennet

A RINO is no better than a Dem. Perhaps worse.

Whatever else O’Dea is, he’s a Republican. That puts him head and shoulders above that flake Bennet. Hold your nose if you have to, but vote for the Republican.

No longer will I vote for a phony Republican just because of the R after his/her name. That is how we have been stuck with the likes of Murkowski, Collins, etc. and their voted for Biden bills.

If O'Dea does get elected, make sure to put his office at the far end of the hall, next to the restroom, and do not give him any committee assignments.

Do we not have RNC gatekeepers to help prevent us from putting our worst foots forward? Weak candidates, RINOs and outright infiltrators? We ain't called the Stupid Party for nothing!

Agree with #2, and the rest may live in a deeper color of red state, but Colorado won't be electing a conservative Republican, but they can elect a person like Joe O'Dea who is a business person not a lifelong politician.
He should be entitled to his opinion, and it does not have to match what President Trump may think or believe.
He would help the GOP have a Senate Majority if elected, and that's the main objective.
The liberal Senate would approve liberal/extreme Federal judges, and possible SCOTUS nominees.

I agree with PDT and poster #1. He's not even waiting until he slithers into the seat to reveal his true colors. Don't let him get there. A dirty democrat is same as a traitor publican any day.

No nose holding, no RINOs, no fake conservatives, no more Democrats pretending to be Republicans.
Do not vote for people who hate you. It's that simple.
It does not matter one bit if this clown or the official Dem wins the seat. Either way it is a Dem win.
Stop voting for Democrats who put an R next to their name. How many times does Lucy have to pull away the football before people figure this out?
Just stop it.

George W Bush is doing an in person fundraiser with O’Dea. This is a direct head butt between Bush and Trump. O’Dea is the RINO in the middle.

I'm not in Colorado, but....Chuck Schumer. I'd crawl over broken glass to vote against a Dem because...Chuck Schumer.
What if it's DeSantis in '24 and O'Dea is a solid DeSantis supporter? We may not be crazy about the Repub Senate we might have...but we damn sure don't want the Dem Senate we do...or might.

There are players who would sabotage their own team and lose rather than throw the ball to a hated rival. You never want that kind of player on your team.

My DH has said he's tired of voting for RINOs and won't vote for O'Dea. I'm not there quite yet, but I think it is a moot point. California leftists have moved into Colorado in droves and because of that, I don't think O'Dea has a chance despite McConnell calling him the "ideal candidate." McConnell has his head in his nether regions if he thinks Democrat-lite can defeat someone with a "D" after their name. And for the record, I'm not convinced that DeSantis isn't the Jeb! of 2024.

Colorado GOP gets shafted by RINOism right Vern? Vern say they got shafted!

#2, #4, #6, and #12 are correct, of course. First, we must take Schumer’s and Pelosi’s majorities away. Then we can sideline the RINOs. Our primaries will always result in a few less-than-optimal choices out there somewhere, but until we have solid veto-proof supermajorities in both chambers, we still have to vote for every Republican, up and down the ballot. To do otherwise is effectively a vote for the Democrat. And principles or no, voting for Democrats is voting against the USA. O’Dea is preferable to Bennet. You know it, I know it, and President Trump knows it. And unfortunately, like it or not, his ill-advised internet proclamations like this latest on Truth Social are a large factor in the Democrats’ ability in 2020 to capitalize on their strategic margin of overwhelming fraud that outnumbered the Republicans’ margin of sitting it out. Don’t be part of the sequel in 2022 or ever; go vote for O’Dea even if you have to hold your nose.
