Trump ignited the base patriots in 2016 but made poor administrative choices listening to “establishment” RINO’s. Problem is that he did not learn and correct the problems for four years. Dems took advantage of the Pandemic and pushed measures, especially in voting, that allow the Democrats to claim victory.
His actions in demoralizing the base voters here in GA after the election cost us two Senate seats. Really one was lost anyway but one for sure. Also, thank the libertarians for that .03 percent Perdue needed to win to get to 50%.
We had a great chance this year but Trump made the races about his ego and getting revenge and not caring if the Republicans controlled the House and Senate.
I still love and loved his policy direction but he was a poor executive. Whether DeSantis is the right person or not he has the military background, shows he has the balls to stand up and fight media and establishment, and put a very effective executive team together in Tallahassee and for the campaign. He went on the road and supported candidates without overshadowing them.
Time will tell but he is my #1 choice today. My fear is that Trump would rather destroy everyone and the American First direction rather than see him not be the candidate.
I don’t know what to think at this point. I think it’s much more about the left’s vote stealing & manufacturing prowess.
We will have to see how it plays out. IDK if there is any chance that we can recover from our present status as a banana republic.
