Hey @RonDeSantis if you actually want to earn street cred before 2028, try going after the President currently destroying our party, not slamming the 2012 GOP nominee.
Two years ago, people in Alabama were terrified to speak out against Trump out of fear of retaliation.
Today, it's common practice.
A lot of credit goes to folks who've been in the trenches for years, many of them former Republicans like @AdamKinzinger, @WalshFreedom, @Liz_Cheney, @BarbaraComstock, and many others.
They never flinched, even with massive threats against them.
It used to be hard. Now it's easy.
This is everyone's win. But remember- voters rejected MAGA. Now Congress has to earn the trust of the people by delivering on the issues that matter to everyday Americans.
I'm NOT saying Trump was a long-term Democrat plant with the goal of destroying the Republican Party and discrediting conservatism but...
If he was, what would he have done differently than what we've already experienced?
Fuck DeSantis. I’m a big Mitt Romney fan. I’ve told this story before but I’ll tell it again. A DSS agent, Steve Sullivan, was killed in Mosul, Iraq. His funeral was in Worcester Massachusetts. The funeral was about to begin, when Governor Mitt Romney walked in. No security, no staff. He just came in and sat down in a pew. Senior agents rushed over to bring down to the front of the church. He waved them off. Wanted no special treatment. He said he just came to pay his respects. So when I hear people like Ron DeSantis talking shit about him, it makes me crazy.
Desantis can think what he thinks.
In my eyes, Mitt Romney will ALWAYS be a profile in courage, honor, and decency.
A lonely voice, standing firm against the insanity and depravity of the Trump era.
Trump's GOP is just meaner than the 1990s GOP was. Lott, Gramm, and Gingrich seem tame in comparison to Miller, Vance, and Jordan.
The GOP needs a massive dose of empathy. Compassion, one might say.
