“Another feeble attempt to divide the base, more like.”
Feeble is in the eye of the beholder!
I voted for Trump and if the election was today and if DeSantis ran he would get my vote.
It is good for us to have a choice! Much better than the last election cycle in 2016. Trump was the only “real” choice on the R side.
It’s real early. Time will tell how this plays out.
I would happily vote for either, and I agree that it's good to have a real choice. What I don't get is where all this Trump hatred is coming from. Yeah, he made a bunch of bone-headed moves as president, particularly in his cabinet appointments. He took a lot of bad advice from a lot of RINOs... his naivety is now pretty apparent. Hopefully, he's a lot more savvy now.
But he also did a lot of good -- tax cuts (particularly the corporate tax cut), energy independence, increase in manufacturing, et cetera And Trump also ignited the America First and MAGA movements among the Republican base. Those aren't just catchy campaign slogans... they're sentiments deeply rooted in Conservatism and patriotism.
