ormer Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that the nation needs to move past celebrity candidates for president.
Host Shannon Bream asked, “Would a President Pompeo do a better job at managing the defect and debt than President Trump did?”
Pompeo said, “I think a President Pompeo or any conservative president will do better than not only we did during the four years of the Trump administration, but Barack Obama, George Bush. The list is long, Shannon, of folks who come to Washington on one theory and, aren’t prepared to stand up and explain to the American people how we’re actually going to get that right. It matters to the next generation.”
He added, “It is going to take a true conservative leader.”
Bream asked, “Are you saying President Trump wasn’t a true conservative leader?”
Pompeo said, “Six trillion dollars more in debt is never the right direction for the country.”
When asked about his CPAC speech, Pompeo said, “I was talking about the time to elect serious leaders who are thoughtful, who speak about America as the most exceptional nation in the history of civilization. They aren’t denigrating it. They are not throwing out whoppers. They’re not spending all their time thinking about Twitter. That’s what I was speaking to. The moment for celebrity, the moment for stars, is not with us. It’s the moment for America to go back to its conservative founding.”

Paul Ryan is a “true conservative.” He said so.
I like Mike!
Pompeo the Great.
The most significant increase in the debt under Trump’s watch was due to profligate ‘covid’ spending. Not Trump’s fault.
CIA warmonger. Nope
Stomach staple.
I dunno. Trump is the frontrunner. Others are untried/unknown. Factor in Trump fatigue and we may only hope that Biden’s failures continue while he get’s renominated. It would be between to fatigue figures.
spook
At least he speaks the truth on the six trillion trump spent in 4 years. That’s atrocious quite frankly. what a mess!!!!
Shhhh. The Great Pompeo is creating a fictional narrative, don’t correct him.
Read his bio....yes...at wiki...He's much more than he appears to be.
People scream cuz of his CIA stint...well...it was a Trump appointment...and only about a year before he became Secretary of State and probably one of the best we've had in a very long time.
A Pompeo/DeSantis ticket works for me.
Go away neocon idiot. Did nothing to rein in the State department or CIA when there, didn’t do anything about the stolen election. Eff Pomposity Pompeo.
“We need a candidate who’ll continue to bow down to Israel.”
All the “true conservatives” do is surrender for fun and profit. We need patriots.
How do we get this person past all of the gatekeepers and lobbyists and into contention for the nomination?
Or isn't it wiser to just stick with the loud-mouthed billionaire who already has 70 million supporters and is close enough to the obscure ideal candidate on policy to make a lot of positive changes?
Pompeo and his ilk are all going to line up behind DeSantis - and then feign astonishment when he loses to Gavin Newsom.
There ya go again...making sure your thread beats up on a Republican.
Trump will run.
He will be the candidate to beat.
He will win... and as a result there will be kinetic action by the nation’s resident terrorists, the communist infiltrators (demos and rinos united) and their brown shirt cannon fodder... that will make Auntie Fah protests/riots of yesteryear... look look like a billy graham crusade from the 60s.
My guess.
If trump loses, we can expect the terrorist pogrom of dangerious “christians, catholics and people of faith” to grow exponentially.
Just my guess... not my desire.
