As a life-long so-called “principled” conservative, who gets accused of preaching to the choir, quoting the founding documents, talking about unalienable rights, enumerated powers, checks and balances, etc. I’m a little shocked to hear myself saying this, but - I don’t think we need a Reaganesque principled conservative POTUS right now.
Maybe if we were confused about what direction to go, and on the verge of going down the wrong path, maybe then we’d need a conservative scholar to sort it out and articulate it to the befuddled masses. But the nation has gone so far left I don’t think anyone is befuddled at all, the vast majority knows exactly what we need to do - throw the rascals out, cut the government way back, replace political correctness with common sense and build up the defense. We don’t need someone smart enough to explain the conservative principles - most of the people’s eyes would glaze over - we need someone with balls and common sense to say “you’re fired!!” I can’t wait.
It’s beginning to look that way to me too.
