You're right -- it would have been much better if one of the other Republicans had won the nomination and general and appointed her from the same fucking list that Trump used because he trusted the Republican party to give him a list of reasonable nominees.
It was like the Heritage foundation or something. These people have different priorities than most Americans. Represents money anyways, which is usually in favor of immigration. The classic opposition is the masses who stand to lose to it opposed and the elites who stand to gain from it in favor. Kind of like slavery.
So glad we insisted on running him again and attacked any other alternatives!!
To be fair, what were the alternatives? I know some people like DeSantis, and he's done some good stuff, but he's also had some unfortunate run-ins with free speech, and had promised to undo some of the good things Trump did do. DeSantis isn't full on neocon, but there's some crossover. Vivek is great...if you think you can trust him. Haley is, of course, evil. Trump fucked some shit up, no question, but I still think he's the best bet. Which isn't really saying particularly good things about the whole field, to be fair.
A government that does/accomplishes nothing "because Trump!" is a better alternative to a government doing anything because if its not Trump its the Uniparty guy and all they do is accomplish something negative.
To paraphrase (he didn't use those exact terms) he wanted to 'roll back MAGA extremism in the Republican party' or some such. While pushing such 'extremism,' in my opinion, is perhaps the single greatest thing Trump did. Which makes it ironic that DeSantis took shots at Haley by saying "We can't go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear..." in his drop out speech, when that was one of the things he'd basically said he wanted to do.
I hate to use such Trumpy terms but, "Ron isn't MAGA." He gives nods to populism and putting America first - and I do admit he's better than the classic neocon for sure - but it seems to be mostly lip service. No matter how you feel about Trump, I think he had a good impact on the GOP itself, and DeSantis apparently disagrees. I don't want someone who sees the changing Republican party as a bad thing.

WN circles have been discussing that the GOP would attempt to "rock the baby back to sleep" for years. DeSantis emerged as the candidate best equipped to try that. He failed.
Well next time I'm rooting for Cruz. He was the only one to ever give Trump a real contest.
Some people shit on Ted for J6 or whatever positions, but that's just politics. He's a politician.
The Cruz critics are like people saying Riker was a bad character, well that's cleanshaven Riker. Cruz has a beard now and it makes all the difference. Cruz "Season 2" 2028.
edit: lot of people here don't like Cruz, not a lot of reasons why.
Another amazing Trump appointee! So glad we insisted on running him again and attacked any other alternatives!! WOOHOO~~~!!!!
ACB, Omarossa, Bolton, his daughter...every swing is a homerun!

What good things of Trump's was Ron promising to undo?

Your boy dropped out. Are you endorsing Birdbrain now?
Obviously the incest shower rapist and brown Hillary are worse than Trump. But will the majority of voters agree with that?
I'm just saying the Trump fetish is stupid.
Present an alternative to Trump or shut up.
There are no solutions, only compromises. Present a better one.
Rule 2 prevents discussion of this topic.
We did- Ron DeSantis, the best governor in a generation.

Barrett is a Federalist Society recommendation. Does anyone criticize the Federalist Society?
There were other better options on the list like Judge Ho of the 5th Circuit. He's Thomas level of based.
People that I like can't get momentum.
His daughter wasn't appointed to that position.
