I agree the GOPe cannot generally be trusted. Then again most Cuban-Americans I know are conservative in many ways, like Ted Cruz. On the other hand, Gonzales seems a “recruited” candidate, with no independent move into politics before.
Whereas Hagan has already been active in Ohio GOP and is an Ohio state house rep. Then again, she may been seen as an outsider in the district she is running for Congress from, having moved into the district only this January and just 13 days before the deadline to file for her candidacy. She may be “pro trump” but she may also be seen a bit “extreme” to some, having backed a bill in the Ohio state legislature that would ban all abortions after six weeks, including cases where there was rape or incest. Not everyone who is “pro life” makes that case. And her stance in the 2016 election was she was for either Cruz or Kaisich. To me there is a lot of distance between the two, so I don’t know where that means her real principles are. Maybe the Freedom caucus backing is too one-dimensional, too single issue based, skipping over other points that may not be so Conservative. I know she comes from a political family and her bio says she has wanted to run for elective office since she was 12. That’s a lot of “political” ambition, but I am not sure how much Conservative principles plays a role in it. I’ll be looking to see what is consistent in her, or if she just does more pandering to issues she thinks will gain her support.
