I’m against this, Trump or no one mindset, turning this country around assuming it’s even possible is going to be a long dirty fight, we need any serious person who agrees.
If Trump is literally the only person who can turn the country around, then we’ve already failed, 4 years and 1 man is not enough to effect long term change.
I see no purpose trashing someone who at one time was nearly universally praised on FR.
Agreed with caveats.
Trump or no one mindset: it depends on the reasoning if it’s justifiable. If the nominee is a RINO, that’s a problem. My personal opinion, I don’t trust 99% of congress or candidates for presidency. I never voted before Trump for that reason. I trust Trump. I trusted DeSantis prior to his behavior during this election cycle. I trusted Crenshaw until he showed his true colors, and Gowdy and so many others, same story. I knew McCain and Romney were traitors. My focus is local elections and keeping Ohio red.
Trump cannot turn the country around nor can any one individual. A unified GOP party might, but ‘unified’ will not happen. Electing MAGA candidates might but will take decades. RNC is not looking for or supporting MAGA candidates. And the leader of the RNC is determined by 182 GOPe traitors. RNC is not MAGA.
Trump is unique in that he energized the base to get involved. Politicians prefer sheep. DeSantis nor Gaetz, Lake, Greene etc can do that. That is the underlying reason DC hates Trump, his cheerleading ability. When he’s gone, voters will go back to sleep and MAGA will change meaning until it’s totally whitewashed. Ex. Tea party.
Trump’s real power was engaged voters. That will end 2024 or 2028 and there is no replacement that has that cheerleading ability. I wish there was though….
Its funny, Dems have literally had trump arrested and cost him millions of dollars through trumped up charges and thats just within the past few weeks and apparently he’s still not as mad at them as he is at DeSantis for the crime of appearing to be a roadblock to his nomination/coronation.
He’s supposedly going to smash DeSantis with 100% of the primary vote yet he insists on continuing to focus on attacking him relentlessly rather than lifting a finger against the Dems...FYI I don’t doubt Trump has a good chance to win the nomination, Its just extraordinarily stupid to focus all your energy on a supposedly already destroyed rival, rather than...you know...your actual main challenge....I don’t care if DeSantis was outed dealing crack or whatever. If Trump has already won over him like people here claim he should be focusing his attacks on Biden.
