I would advise against putting your faith in one man in Washington, especially one that at most has 4 years.

Personally, I don’t care about Trump, I don’t really care about DeSantis who had been a great governor of Florida, but will get little to nothing done in Washington. Once Trump is gone, we hopefully can get back to focusing on the agenda and attracting people to the Republican Party and not focusing on one man.

You have to learn from Democrats, they took over Blue States to the point Republicans can’t get elected, in Red States, they took over School Boards and school boards across the country.

Republicans need to OWN Red States, dominate local offices, including School boards, city councils, and mayors. We need to dominate state legislatures and governorships, congressional races and US Senators.

If you dominate Red States as I suggest, you would have anywhere between 26-28 states you controlled, that should give you a minimum of 52-56 US Senators in Washington, a majority to control one part of the legislature and stop crazy legislation from a Democrat POTUS.

If you dominated school boards you could eliminate the woke BS out of schools, if you dominated Governors and State Legislatures, you could implement school choice and tear down teachers unions and show people an alternative.

The mess we are in didn’t happen in 4 years or 24 years, it happened over a generation or two, defend Trump all you want, but he won’t be able to much of anything in Washington nor will any Republican until the underlying parts of Washington Change and takes dominating the states.

Unfortunately, it is much more complicated than that, and much further along.

Irrespective of the party affiliation, we have let a political class rise in this nation that has as their goal personal power and control - NOT service. It's not much different than the mafia in that regard. The goal is to become a ‘made’ person.

The relationship between the citizenry and the government has to be reset, and humility in government demanded. We can't have politicians who call half the electorate ‘deplorables’. We can't have a President who tells people ‘I don't work for you, Jack’. We can't have a judiciary that uses the ‘law’ as a weapon. We can't have ‘intelligence’ agencies that are OK with lying, cheating, targeting/entrapping/framing those they don't like, and who employ people who make fun of citizens who go to Walmart and who voted for Trump.

If we want to have a free nation going forward we have to address some very fundamental truths. Among these is that the system has become corrupted and has to be rebuilt - with an end to the expansive government bureaucracy, and an end to the career politician. Yes, this is difficult - but not impossible. It has to be done step by step. One way is to start demanding that politicians account for each and every penny by which their wealth increases while in office. This is something the general public will be onboard with. Take away the wealth aspect of public office, and you will clear out at least some of the corrupt politicians.

All of that is just a start, but you have to start. You can't bank on recruiting more smarmy country club ‘conservatives’ to come along and fix things. That will never work.

“I would advise against putting your faith in one man..”

You keep saying that.

LOL! That is like me saying I like carrots, and you saying I shouldn’t put my faith in one vegetable. Next, you’ll be calling me a carrot worshipper, or accusing me of being part of a carrot cult.

Look, I get it. You don’t like Trump. So don’t vote for him.. You don’t need to insult every Trump supporter by implying we are somehow under his spell or worshipping him.

Have a little respect. Someone will be POTUS, so I have to vote for someone and I choose Trump - AND I have rational reasons for doing so. If you have rational arguments for someone better, let’s hear them.

But knock off the “faith in one man” BS - it’s beneath you.
