What is Desanctimonius’ view on McCarthy. Answer,you have no idea because he’s not a leader. Trump takes positions so it’s easy to disagree wherever you will. It’s the difference between a leader and a political puke. No one can ever disagree with DeSantis on his view about whether or not they stole the election from Kari Lake because he has no position. You don’t make enemies but you also don’t change anything. Hard pass. Trump takes a stand. He puts himself out there. Trump leads. There is no reason to believe that the day won’t come when everyone sounds like Trump in terms of election integrity. In such an environment DeSantis will thrive. He’ll be even tougher than Trump once he knows which position to take and what’spopularamong “Conservatives”. Hopefully you see the problem.
Many people have decided the election without a primary ballot being cast, nor a primary debate being had.
Indeed, lots of people on FR trashed Trump when he rode down that escalator. And why not? He'd presented himself as a pretty liberal Republican. He and Guliani weren't too far apart philosophically. And Rudy performed terribly as a candidate.
Nonetheless, here we are. Trump shook the political tree and the culture shifted. We are all better off for what Trump has done to that tree.
I haven't declared Trump DOA or doomed or a has-been. I haven't adopted any of the school-yard names for him. All I did was point out that he's got an awful HR track record that limits the ability to administer full MAGA.
It's mind-boggling how so many people are working overtime to throw Trump's opposition under the bus. It's reminiscent of how so many people tried to throw Trump under the bus in 2015-2016.
