I see Trump as a very flawed individual. It’s the sad fact of our times that Trump is the best flawed individual available, and the only “leader” who, despite his massive ego, seems to actually want to fix our nation’s daunting problems.

After having opposed Trump by putting his own values and ideology above practicality, Good ran ads that made him look like a dour Trump mini-me. Before seeing his ads I was going to vote for him. Knowing of Good’s prior principled opposition to Trump, and that Trump had endorsed his opponent, it was extremely off-putting to see Good wrap himself in Trump (elevating the association with Trump as much more important than his own policies and values). Good might be a great guy in normal circumstances, but going for dishonesty when desperate is a bad look for a principled man.

Good accomplished little in Congress, except blowing up the Speakership and dividing the already weak Republican caucus. We went from McCarthy cooperating too much with the Dems to Mike Johnson cooperating too much with the Dems. Good’s read on politics and numbers was impractical, and just made the conservative hand weaker.

Trump is the most investigated politician, yet they've found nothing. Add to that Trump has made the decision to risk incarceration to defeat the global establishment and save the country.

There's no way I would describe Trump as "very" flawed.
