McCain and Romney were "so called actual Republicans" and they sucked ass.
Trump is a anti-war 90s Democrat with right wing views on immigration and guns and yet this specific platform is what the GOP needed to be competitive in the rust belt states and actually win a national election.
Bush policies of war mongering, unfettered "free trade" of globalization and austerity measures nearly led to the complete extinction of the GOP.
I will always give Trump credit for shifting the Republican party to be more populist.
DeSantis is great because he has learned to adopt Trump's good populist policies while his delivery is polished and way better suited to win Independent votes.
DeSantis is great because he is not Generic Republican.
You could do much worse than "anti-war 90s Democrat with right wing views on immigration and guns."
We are literally doing much worse than that RIGHT NOW.
I voted for Trump twice but I have to admit he is abrasive and turns people off. Desantis wouldn’t have that issue.
I think desant with more power would lead like mccain, just imo
Exactly why I feel we should not run Trump for the third time in 2024.
He has great policies but his delivery rubs too many normies who care about optics the wrong way.
Nah, he was cheated out of office.
Normies dont actually care about the abrasiveness. Probably why so many voted for him actually.
We need a candidate who isnt afraid to speak the unpleasant truth, because no one else will.
