That is a thoughtful post. Thank you for sharing the link. I’ll stick with DeSantis, but it is nice to see Freepers actually write detailed heartfelt and non-insulting thoughts on the topic. Thank you.

Thank you! My stance has always been to support & vote for DeSantis as our nominee in the primaries. That hasn’t changed at all. I was irritated at Trump voters for blindly following no matter how destructive & for a short time, wanted to protest by saying I’d never vote for him again. I rethought things & decided that I’d be screwing us over by doing that & behaving just like them. So I wrote that. If he ends up our nominee & there isn’t a viable staunch conservative alternative, then I will be a team player & vote for Trump. But he is not my first choice by any measure. He has brought with him some valuable stances that I was happy to see- stopping illegal immigration, building a permanent barrier, protecting American jobs & cRing about workers & the middle class. Those are all great things. Lord knows I was happy to see an actual fighter too who went on the attack instead of responding. But all of his downsides & the fact that his supporters care more about loyalty to him than the principles we believe in seems to outweigh the positives. Oh and he turns out not to be so great at winning elections either or supporting conservative candidates in other races & helping them win elections. I think DeSantis would be a far better & more successful choice. He has an absolutely conservative record to run on & he’s won elections overwhelmingly. He’s also helped other conservatives win elections. So I’m voting for DeSantis in the primaries to be our candidate. But unlike most of the Trumpists, if need be, I will be a team player in the general election 😉
