Former President is popular in his party? Amazing insight there.
Look at the talent pool in the wings... Kamala couldn't win a scratch-off lottery ticket, Warren will always be 1/1024 Pocahontas, Bernie is older than Moses.
On the other side, DeSantis seems flawless other than looking like a dumpling. Youngkin making the list looks like a rising star, doing good things in VA.
He said things that would have been almost the assumed bare minimum a Republican would believe, and it was shocking enough to make him quickly become an almost fanatical figurehead before he was ever in a position he had a chance to win.
Which was the point. He isn't really that great, but the Republican party is so bad and everyone is so used to them being meek, spineless hypocrites (where 2016 Ted Cruz was the default) that he seemed godlike.
That a former president could betray his most devoted loyalists so completely and still have any support from the base is the amazing part.
DeSantis hasn't shown the will necessary to do anything of note in DC.
Youngkin converted his platform from anti-CRT, which is a cipher for the normie to reject the ever encroaching societal entropy, to declaring victory over socialism, which is meaningless party rhetoric, and refusing to restrain the progressive march at the local level, even though that is what he was explicitly elected to do.
What does "so completely" even mean? You think he should have called for overthrow of the government or something, good grief.
DeSantis stood up to total media pressure on Covid, restored democracy in Broward Co, and defied Disney.
Youngkin banned teaching anything racist and sexist - not just "CRT" by name - put the whole Loudoun school board up for vote, and veto'd lots of woke crap bills.
... now do the other side. What rising stars in the Democrat party and what have they done recently?
Republicans aren't any better with that Trump support.
Says a lot about Republican politicians that the barest minimum he meets puts him miles above the rest of them with the base.
