Good point. Idol worship tends to get in the way of objective thinking. That said, we’re fortunate to have both guys on our side. They are fighters.
I am 100% in agreement. We need both types. There are many who feel the need to tear down Trump because they want to build up DeSantis, and I think that is extremely short-sighted.
If DeSantis is “less mean” or “more diplomatic” but still very conservative, we need people in that role: real conservatives who can talk, and who can attempt to reach out to the rare Democrats who can be talked to.
If Trump is a wrecking ball, we sorely need someone like him, and he is indispensable in that role. We MUST have someone like Trump in place at this point in time, because there are a huge amount of people on the Left who will be impervious, immune, and downright hostile to the likes of DeSantis. We need someone like Trump who is going to call them out in the crudest, meanest, most public way, and have not a whit of care if he damages his own image or political capital in the process of doing political damage to them, which is imperative to execute if we are to have any chance of saving this Republic.
