I really think there is an “elephant in the room” that some people just don’t see:

The 2020 election was stolen.

People who can’t acknowledge that and can’t say it out loud, are living in an alternate reality. I’ve never heard Ron DeSantis acknowledge the election was stolen.

I think that’s the problem with these Republican challengers except maybe Vivek. They think 2020 wasn’t stolen, therefore they agree Trump is a liar, and they agree Jan 6 was an insurrection, and that Trump and his MAGA supporters belong in jail.

That makes them traitors in my book - and I think a ton of Republican voters feel exactly the same as me.

“That makes them traitors in my book - and I think a ton of Republican voters feel exactly the same as me.”

Correct.

The deeper issue is courage.

Who has the courage to stand up to the Deep State?

Both DeSantis and Nikita proved they did not have the courage to state that the election was stolen and they did not have the courage to stand up for the J6 political prisoners.

That makes them useless—the average garbage collector or dog catcher has more courage and integrity.

Well said.

It's not just that 2020 was stolen. It's that nothing has been done to prevent 2024 from being stolen.

In which case, it might not matter who is the GOP nominee.

"That makes them traitors in my book - and I think a ton of Republican voters feel exactly the same as me."

I totally agree with you. The Republican members of Congress that voted to accept Biden's fraudulent electors on January 6th, should all be charged as traitors, or at least aiding and abetting a coup. They sanctioned unlimited voter fraud that day.
