Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper on Tuesday said in an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that he would not vote to reelect former President Trump in 2024, saying, “We need a new generation of Republican leaders.”
When asked if he would vote for the president he served under if he runs for the White House again, Esper responded: “No, and I’ll tell you why. Because in my view, any elected leader needs to meet some basic criteria: they need to be able to put country over self, they need to have a certain amount of integrity and principle, they need to be able to reach across the aisle and bring people together and unite the country. Look, Donald Trump doesn’t meet those marks for me.”

Trump IS the new generation.
Mark Esper is a RINO. He was on Morning Joe? By the way, what was the story about the dead staffer found in Joe’s office?
Nobody cares about this nobody.
I’m fine with those who prefer another Republican to Trump. Not at all fine with those who wouldn’t vote for him in the general election if he’s the nominee, though. Those are the people I wouldn’t piss on if they were on fire.
He won’t vote for Trump in ‘24? Cancel the parades, put away the fireworks and lock the door on the way out! We are doomed for sure now!!
Trump is this new leader..
These are the old leader talking
That list was way too long.
But you need a winnable candidate, and Trump might
be the only one.
Watching Esper do these interviews it strikes me how such a poor hire he was.
The element of moving on applies with too many republicans. Reminds me of Reagan/Ford in ‘76. Reagan won over enough ‘kinder and gentler’ types to show he was best for the country over the get along crowd.
So who is this “new generation”? The same old tired Bushies?
Trump is an old man. He would be 78/9 on Inauguration Day.
Many voters are single issue voters. I have turned into an ageist voter. No more old people. Don’t vote for anyone under 70.
If your candidate is over 70, they should be focused on finding and promoting similar type people to replace them.
The current crop of feeble old creatures have ruined the country.
This clown is a walking deep state RINO cliche. No sale.
I’ll trust Donald Trump over this self important treasonous SOB.I’ve seen his interview and he and his other two conspirators Prevented the President from doing his job and job one was to protect the American People and the United States of America.
He along with Milley and I forget his name now committed treason and that interview should be admitted as evidence.
Sour grapes.
And, of course, he thinks HE is THEE pick
Are you voting for Biden.....again?
