Beside Pompeo and DeSantis, you folks in the base of the GOP, who do you want to see run in 24'?

It should be pretty apparent by now grievance politics isn't working and hatred doesn't win elections. With that in mind who would you like to see run?
 
Hate to burst your bubble, but when it comes to the GOP and to Righties everywhere, grievance AND hatred - of LGTBQ, of Liberals, of the Media, of people of color - IS the only way they see a path to winning.

Take those things away, and the GOP would lose their base of bigots and racists.

Do you think they would ever change their vote Dem or just not vote?

Bigots and racists would demand a third party, one that suits their needs.

I think this is going to be DeSantis' downfall. He can't win the general without Indpendents and this type of rhetoric isn't registering with Independents. He would have to make one hell of a pivot to the centre and I'm not sure that would work as he has established his brand. I have never heard this man speak of real policy it's all about owning the libs and stepping on "wokeness"........ whatever the hell that is.

In their minds I think wokeness means doing the right thing?

He will be rebuked nationwide. Florida is controlled by the gop so here he is a god because he is basically trump, he has the same agenda.

A. "Grievance politics" is the whole republican platform. If they can't be victims they will lose their whole identity.

B. You left out tRump.

No eefing way. Not only is the country not ready for a female president, but the misogyny bread into white supremacists also goes deep. Nope, they don't want a female president, they want a perceived tough guy like Trump. (Who we all know is anything but tough).

The USA is more than ready for a female president. Your post exudes paranoia.

I don't think we're any more ready that we were in 2016. What you're probably saying is the country is ready for a conservative female president. I whole heartedly don't believe that for the reasons I have stated.

For myself, If the right female came along, I'm all for it. But certainly not a Putin ass kisser on any ticket. Tulsi is a no-go with most voters for that very reason.

Desantis. He will fight the hate and bigotry of the left.

You should really read your own signature. DeSantis is the epitome of hate and bigotry. He ran his campaign on hating and censuring LGBTQ and immigrants. He will never win a general election.

Yea using g the radical lefts new definition of hate "disagreement with us on anything".

Hate and racism have been rendered meaningless by the left wolf crying. Everything is racist and hateful blah blah blah.

The only crying I've been hearing for the last 6 years has been coming from the right. They've put on a master class on grievance politics and victimhood. Everything is someone else's fault. Bla, Bla, Bla.

Just look at the GOP's future congressional plans. More grievance politics and obstructionism on the way. But that's what we've come to expect since the orange mango took over the party. Enjoy. You wanted it, you got it.

How much more losing can you take?
 
In a thread with a stated intent to get a conservative opinion, you find nothing liberals telling conservatives what to think. Typical.

I am not a conservative, so I won't comment on who I want. I will say that 2016 showed Ted Cruz to be one of the major players.

One response from republicans as to who else they might like to see run, one. Honestly it just reaffirms in me the gop right now does not care about policy at all, they care about revenge for all of their perceived injustices.

Cruz, funny.

All you left fringers stole the thread.

Confirming your fringe status.

Cruz, funny.
Only to someone who does not pay attention.

The cult dismisses Cruz because he couldn't beat Trump, ignoring the fact that Cruz came into the race as a complete unknown. After Super Tuesday it was down to Cruz and Trump. That's impressive.

Don't let your hatred of all things conservative blind you to the smartest and best organized possible candidate.

Why do you predictably exhibit such vehement contempt against the United States? So disturbing to read.

You obviously have missed the headlines announcing more Latinos voting "Republican".
And at least 2 Latino GOPers who won seats in the House earlier this month.

Stole the thread? Nobody is stopping anyone from posting, so how did we steal the thread? Maybe you guys have no ideas?

My fringe status helped elect biden, your president.

I pay attention to cruz, he's a ***** wishy washy republican who couldn't stand up to trump. I don't hate everything that is conservative, I've just learned to despise most of the current batch of republicans who say they are conservative while trump runs loose in the gop.
