He’s only toxic if he wants to be. If he thinks his campaign is all about attacking his perceived GOP rivals...even those who aren’t running and probably won’t, such as DeSantis...he’s not going to go far.
He’s got to run on policy and his ability to accomplish it, and one of the problems is that if you alienate your potential allies, it’s not going to work.
And he has GOT to apologize for shutting down the country. He was misled and bamboozled into it, and he should simply say that.
Heck, Birx even boasts in writing about “tricking” Trump with false data and the aid of Pence.
But please, no personal attacks. That’s “how to lose friends and alienate people.”
He’s been operating that way all of his life, I doubt that he’s going to change now or in the future.
