RINOs: Trump is dragging down the GOP, dump him. Dump someone in the cross-hairs of deep state enforcers? Dump subject of Mar-a-Lago assault on our Constitution? Yes, DeSantis would be a great candidate. But how would it look if we dumped Trump now? Like we tacitly approved the raid.
But wait, you say. Am I not allowing the Dem establishment to choose a candidate for me? Yes, in a way I am. But our decisions are always influenced by outside events. They must be. In the Army they have a saying: “The enemy always gets a vote.” It’s just as true in civilian life.
