For good reason at the time. Nobody knew he would be a complete idiot and tank his chances then.

That's the establishment's safer candidate that can appeal to moderates since he isn't a bombastic moron like Trump or DeSantis. He still believes in trickle down like the rest of them though.

Ramaswamy is much worser than that and I watched that interview he did on the David Pakman. The more people see of him in debates and interviews. The more moderates will be turned off from him and his absolutely horrid views, despite being a charismatic candidate. Which his views are par for the course for the modern GOP.

"Race to the bottom of the barrel" doesn't actually net voters is what it basically means. The problem here is that they have a strategy that they believe works and then they double down on it until it's just pure nonsense.

So even if DeSantis's plan is to hope for Trump to be in prison or keel over from too much McDonald's before the primaries even that might not be enough to get him the nomination.

It depends which direction the GOP goes in, if we're to say Biden wins 2024. If they continue down the path they're currently on then they will lose in 2028. If the GOP shifts towards being moderates, or at least pretending to be so while wink winking to the extremists. Then yes I agree we could be in trouble due to our side's tendency to get complacent. Also the independents and centrists will likely start shifting back towards Republicans over the stupidest of reasons.

I feel like if Democrats take 2024, the GOP will HAVE to move on from their Trump era politics. At that point, it's unlikely that Trump will live long enough to run for another term, so they might as well take the opportunity to distance themselves from him

Popular vote is basically free. Problem is getting the electoral vote against candidates who aren't as shit as Trump, after 8 years of Biden. That's gonna be rough.

They will lose a significant portion of their base if they attempt to moderate or "move away" from Trump, even if he isn't running. It'll be his children to carry his legacy.

I've heard town halls and interviews with him. Dude is an extremist like pretty much everybody else up there sans Christie & Hutchinson, and maybe Hurd, 3 candidates with the least chance, because the actual GOP voters want far-right extremism and intolerance for people they disdain.

I like to word it a little differently, which is that Boomers need to stop being the ones primarily controlling government and in positions of power for us to finally make substantial progress. Even on the Dem side they are holding us back.

Just think. We could have been completely done with him. There was a Florida law that made Governors give up their position before they could run for president. But he had the law changed just before he announced his run. If he had kept the law intact, he'd be about to totally drop out of politics
