Republicans need a woman to stand up for them. Embarrassing but necessary.
I would gladly vote for any woman or man who was MAGA.
Period.
In fact, as of right now for 2024 (assuming Trump does not run) I am Noem (1A) and DeSantis (1B).
I got chided for suggesting Noem might be the better national candidate because of her softer edges in comparison to DeSantis (I love his piss and vinegar) because that plays better with some voters, but its true. If she was pure MAGA with a calm voice and demeanor and a smile it is harder for the media to characterize her.
I really like DeSantis also and would have no problem voting for him, but you have to admit that much of Reagan’s appeal was in his friendly demeanor and smile. Sadly, our politics are often as much about how you say something as what you say. It’s just fact.
