I am happy if Trump wins the Republican nomination because he's a loser and he'll lose again - nothing will get more democrats to the voting booth than Donald Trump running.
De Santis is just as horrible if not worse but people may not be following him as close so fewer democrats will turn up.
Democrats win if they show up because there are more liberals than nutbar religious conservatives and this is especially true with younger voters.
So as time passes the old racist Trump crazies will die (the sooner the better) and they'll be replaced by far more liberal 18-22-year-olds and their first vote.
But the Democrats seem to do a piss poor job at messaging and keep going down the track of identity politics which drives independents crazy.
AOC is a massive hit with her generation and younger and in her state, she completely annihilates the Republicans up against her.
I am sure she plays well in most liberal cities and she did more for Texas in crises than the losers Cruz (who took a vacation) and Abbott the do nothing, good governor. But I think they would need a photo shoot of AOC killing bad guys with an uzi to get some votes in Texas. She's on the young side but that has proven to be okay when looking abroad.
Basically, I want a good person who is pretty bright and who can listen to experts.
I never would have had a problem with John McCain or Mitt Romney or even Liz Cheney as president. I can disagree with them on various issues - but I believe they care about the country and would put the country over politics. Indeed, Cheney was a lock to win her seat but chose to end her political career to put the country over the party. I disagree with practically everything she is for but at least you can say she has integrity. To me this is the number one thing you should have as a leader.
I view anyone who voted for Trump (the second time - I cut people slack if they voted for him the first time and then voted against him the second) as someone who has no integrity.
Many Republicans thankfully switched their vote. Country over party.
In Canada, I have voted Conservative, Green, Liberal, and NDP. If the Prime Minister acts badly I call him out whether I voted for him or not. They are our employees - not kings or rock stars. I mean the mere fact that a President holds rallies and sells hats and T-Shirts and digital photos of himself - I mean that says it all but just look at how many on this forum still would vote for him. It's bonkers.
