So, evidently is Vivek is out. He was endorsing Trump in New Hampshire.

This is somewhat frustrating. The Republican party is again traveling down the path of endorsing a near octogenarian and polarizing figure. I don't think this is the right move for a lot of reasons, the primary one being that no one gets out the Democratic vote like Donald Trump.

Vivek or DeSantis would be better options.

No one who makes the rules will challenge the rules because they benefit from the rules. I kinda liked Vivek.

Vivek will likely have a job in a Trump administration. He's campaigning with Trump now. DJT has led bigly in the polls from the get-go because the majority of conservatives have shown they don't want establishment candidates like DeSantis or Haley. But, no doubt dems will do what they can to keep Trump out.

It boils down to they know Trump will murder Biden at the polls unless they (Dems) do something, anything, to tarnish Trump. Trump has issues, but the media and rabid Left masses would have you believe Trump eats babies or something.

My wife has a boss who flat out told her and the other managers that he's made it as far as he has because "Hey, look over there!" is his go to when things are going sideways. Distract, distract, distract. That's what the Democrats have done since they realized Trump is an actual threat and this goes back to 2016.

If you demonize any opponent, you don't have to defend your record. You only have to prove that you aren't a demon.

Like it or not, a shit ton of people believe the 2020 election was stolen. I don't know for sure, but I lean toward it. Dems demonize Trump for claiming it, but the people were paying attention on election night. Trump hasn't had to convince his supporters.

Vivek never bad-mouthed Trump and was very quick to get aboard the Trump Train when he dropped out. I do believe there is a place for him in a Trump administration. But he is also wicked smart in his own right, I would hope he'd get a good gig regardless of who is sitting in the Oval.

I'm going to vote for whomever ends up being the Republican nominee. I will enthusiastically vote for Trump--again--if he ends up being the name on the ballot.

Among other things, I have some pretty fundamental issues with his demand for people to pledge loyalty him.

There were/are better candidates (still not great, but better) who don't come with the extra baggage.

I think the guy has been railroaded, but I'm also not jonesing to have the guy back in office either.

I think I've said before that I think his character is deeply flawed.

That used to matter to me, which is why I didn't vote for him (or anyone else) the first time that he ran.

What I came to learn, however, is that at level, just about everyone is EXTRAORDINARILY deeply flawed.

If the choice is between him and four more years of the train wreck we currently have... that's an easy choice for me.
