My synopsis of the 2020 and 2022 elections...
1. After Trump lost in 2020, I said then Trump and the Republican party needed to move on because suburban housewives and many other women would NEVER vote for him again. The party needed to move on from him after 2020. I voted for Trump twice, I don't see him as electable. Would I vote for him in 2024? Yes, but it will be a waste of time, he will not win in 2024 running against a monkey.
2. I have been saying for 2 years DeSantis really needs to be the Republican nominee in 2024.
3. DeSantis is the exact type of Republican, that Republicans need to be running in 2024 across all states and elections. DeSantis pulled votes across all demographics and party affiliations. DeSantis did not run as a MAGA Republican. He ran as a conservative that does exactly what he tells those who elect him he is going to do. He is not abrasive like Trump, he eviscerates his opponents calmly with better logic, facts, and opinions. He does not defeat his opponents by name calling or hate language, he destroys them in a debate on the merits of the subject matter.
4. DeSantis knows how government works, and unlike Trump he actually fired people in Florida that was not on board with him and he did it fast. Trump never drained the swamped, he left too many leftist turds in the DOJ, IRS, FBI, and military.
5. Trump calling DeSantis names days before he was up for election and that should be the end of Trump in the Republican party, no clearer sign that Trump is all about Trump and not the party and its conservative goals. Trump lost the last election not over policies, but because he was unlikable by some of those who voted for him in 2016. Trump attacking DeSantis days before an election should make Trump persona non grata in the Republican party.
6. Those that believe Trump gets to decide if he runs and if gets the nomination don't understand our political system IMO. You have to earn that nomination. If Republicans nominate Trump thru the primary system and voting? They will deserve the defeat they will receive in 2024. Republicans will decide thru the primary process who their nominee is, not Trump.
7. Does DeSantis want to run? That is the real question, the country really needs him in my opinion. His performance in Florida was historically significant, it proves conservative values combined with great leadership can still gain votes across a wide demographic and political affiliations. If he does not run? We need those who handled the DeSantis campaign assisting the campaign of the top Republican nominee in 2024.
8. Trump on the 15th should announce he is not running and quietly fundraise for the Republican party and stop endorsing candidates. Focus should not be on individuals but conservative policies and fixing what is wrong in this country.
9. Abortion? Republicans need to allow exceptions for rape, incest, and protecting the life of the mother and allow states to make their own decisions on the issue. In Oklahoma right now there is no exceptions and Stitt said if the legislature passed a law allowing those exceptions he would sign it. if that is true, why did Stitt not sign the law and return it for those exceptions to be added? Dims will use this to keep women voting Dim, and when a state like Oklahoma has no exceptions? They can use the scare tactic the intent for the whole country is to not have any exceptions.
10. Trump cost Republicans the Georgia senate seat in 2020, had Republicans won that seat, leftists would not have caused massive inflation by getting drunk on $1.9T in spending. Think about that. Grid lock for Joe's last 2 years will be a good thing, perhaps no more harm can be done and it buys time.
11. The election last night should leave complete CLARITY and the road map of what Republicans need to do in 2024, that IS the gift that the election last night provides to Republicans. We KNOW the platform DeSantis represents resonates in a huge way. Up to Republican leadership and voters to make the move.
