Perfectly said.
Thank you...
Not all of us taking another look are Never Trumpers. I voted enthusiastically for him twice (except in the Texas primary where I supported Carson). His self-aggrandizing is one item about him I never cared much for. Had he performed well during 2020 on COVID instead of jumping into Big Government, then maybe I could go along with his brashness. He walked into the trap with arrogance and became consumed by it. His behavior now with these latest truths is not productive. Why clear out the field before the primaries? He seemed to enjoy the debates in 2015-2016. What’s different now? My main issue really with Trump when you boil it all down is his advancing age. It will put a huge focus on whoever his VP pick would be. Pence would have been a squish. Trump’s track record of choosing advisors and cabinet pick is mixed at best. If Trump is the GOP nominee is 2024, of course I will support him, but I am very interested in who will try to oppose him in the primaries. I don’t believe in a conspiracy theory that McConnell and Co are trying to get behind DeSantis or Youngkin. They are both not GOPe. They will want another squish. Same applies for Cruz and Paul. Both would be good candidates. Again, not a never trumper here.
A lot of what Trump is truthing now prior to actually announcing a run seems completely unnecessary.
