Desperate Bob Good Hopes Trump Will Rescind His Endorsement of his Opponent John McGuire

“In an open letter to Trump sent Thursday afternoon and obtained by Politico, 25 Republican officials in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District — including Rick Buchanan, chair of the district’s Republican Congressional Committee — ‘strongly’ urged Trump to reconsider his endorsement of Rep. Bob Good’s opponent state Sen. John McGuire, in the Republican Primary.”

In late May 2024 Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee and MAGA messiah, endorsed state Sen. John J. McGuire over incumbent Rep. Bob Good in the GOP primary battle for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District seat, thereby dooming any chance Good had of retaining his seat.

“Bob Good is BAD FOR VIRGINIA, AND BAD FOR THE USA,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “He turned his back on our incredible movement, and was constantly attacking and fighting me until recently, when he gave a warm and ‘loving’ Endorsement — But really, it was too late.”

Political endorsements are meaningless, they disappear into the ether as soon as they are uttered, but Trump’s endorsements are worth their weight in gold. Trump’s MAGA base accepts as the Gospel truth every word that emanates from his sphincter-shaped mouth, and a Trump endorsement is perceived as a mandate to be obeyed.

Since his original endorsement of McGuire on May 28, 2024, Trump has doubled down and accused Good of stabbing him on the back.

Good is so desperate that he convinced his cronies to beg Trump to rescind his endorsement, but that is not going to happen. A deity does not change his mind, and Trump will never forgive Good for endorsing Ron DeSantis. 

Rep. Bob Good and Challenger John McGuire are ‘Stains on America’s Underwear’

Donald Trump is such an affront to humanity and such an existential threat to our democracy that he’s often compared to a stinking pile of human excrement.

Instead of recoiling in horror and distancing themselves from the orange sociopath most Republicans think that the only way they can remain viable is by copying Trump’s amoral behavior and inflammatory rhetoric.

In 2020 Republican challenger Bob Good defeated Denver Riggleman, the U.S. representative from Virginia’s 5th congressional district by attacking him for committing the unpardonable sin of officiating at the same-sex wedding of two campaign volunteers.

Since becoming a congressman Good has tried to establish his bona fides as a MAGA zealot by among other things voting to oust GOP Speaker Keven McCarthy and throwing the House into chaos. He is the chairman of the ultra-right House Freedom Caucus.

Good is running for reelection and he is facing a primary challenger from John J. McGuire, an election denier who has pledged fealty to Trump and promised to bring a “Biblical worldview” to Congress.

Good is vulnerable because he made the cardinal sin of endorsing Ron DeSantis in the Republican presidential primary. Although he immediately endorsed Trump after DeSantis withdrew from the race, he forever gained the enmity of Trump and his MAGA supporters.

Riggleman characterized Good and McGuire as “two amoral stains on America’s underwear.” They don’t have the heft and substance of Trump’s pile of dung, they are merely stains on the GOP’s underwear.

Virginia’s 5th congressional district is a safe Republican seat; therefore the winner will be a stain of human excrement.
