Defending our sovereignty should always come first. That means securing and militarizing our southern border and expelling the illegal invaders.

“with some candidates, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ... tacking toward isolationism”

Is he? After he just today sent weapons directly to Israel, bypassing the federal government which is supposed to handle diplomacy?

Or is he just talking out of both sides of his mouth again, trying in vain to please anyone and everyone? Or maybe he said something yesterday, then stuck his finger in the wind today and decided to change stances.

Nikki Haley vowing to give Israel “anything they need.”

She also said she wants bring the Palis here. Hell no

[Seruzawa]

“In addition to Haley, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have expressed more hawkish views — including openness to US troop involvement...”

Yes yes. More “hawks” who’ve never risked their own skins for one second. Sorta like the Zeepers.

Tempest in a teapot. None of these guys are relevant as to the 2023 Election which is Trump’s if they don’t steal it again.

I was hoping that Ramaswamy could be Trump’s VP but his stance against israel compromises him. (He’s the ONLY guy who talks about actually dismantling the unconstitutional portion of the feds.)

Hope Trump finds the RIGHT VP who will carry this fight for freedom, the Constitution, and dismantling most of the $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion of the feds.

It means energy independence and not enriching a nation where the parliament chants death to America.

I like Vivek’s response.

The only reason my great Governor DeSantis isn't getting any traction is Trump's excellent record on handling the economy and his ability to handle foreign relations.

Can you imagine where America would be without Obama, Biden, Hillary, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, the Weaponized FBI/CIA and DOJ? We would be safer and richer as would the world

Also, I don't like how silent DeSantis is about the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

I wish Haley, Scott, Christie, and others would show half as much concern about the invasion taking place along our southern border, as they do about the borders of Ukraine and Israel.

I also find it amusing how many people here in the US, including many here on FR, don’t believe anything our government and media tell us, or at least are highly skeptical, but lap up everything the Israeli government and media tell us about what is going on over there as if it was being handed down engraved on stone tablets on Mt Sinai. A good rule of thumb is to assume that both sides of any conflict spread as many lies as they can to gin up support for themselves and stoke anger towards the other side.
