I want the messiest, meanest, most arduous Presidential primary imaginable … because I want, and the GOP needs if it is going to win in 2024, a political-killer for the nominee. The idea that … THAT’S JUST HELPING THE DEMOCRATS, IF WE TEAR EACH OTHER APART …is, at best, hopelessly naive.
No matter who the nominee is, the Left will declare him or her the next incarnation of Hitler and, by implication, anyone who would vote for this next Hitler a Nazi.
I want, and the GOP needs, a Presidential candidate who can deal with all the sh*t the legacy media, Big-Tech, the RINOs and the rest of the Left is going to fling. And the way you locate that person is by having a truly competitive primary.
Stated somewhat differently, not having Trump run in the primary makes it much more likely that the nominee will be, at best, unprepared for the general election and, at worst, some milquetoast, groveling mediocrity … another Romney or McCain.
It is extreme hubris to, at this point in time, declare either that DeSantis should defer to Trump or that Trump should make way for DeSantis. Let them go head to head, and let the voters decide.
