What we need most is someone who will fight. Who will not be bought off by the establishment.

Desantis has some establishment roots, which is a concern.

But who else is there?

Trump was one of a kind. There isn't anyone else like him.

I fear whoever we nominate will bend the knee like all republicans do.

This is where the problem is with so many in the GOP.

So exactly what we had in Trump.

Big concern for me.

Rush said it often before his passing The reason Trump was so hard to “knock off” politically was because he was not built (in the political sense) by the media or by the political establishment, built himself with his own brand and was villainized because they couldn’t knock him down.

I’m 99.9% sure this will happen.

I mean there will never be another option that doesn't have some sort of establishment roots. You probably never see something like Trump again

You are going to have to make a compromise. At best Trump has one more election in him.....he is no spring chicken. DeSantis probably gives you the best bet long term at 43 years old and he knows the enemy and can play them at their game.

Trump's biggest downfall is that he alienates his allies. If you are 80% with him, he reacts as though you are 100% against. Plus Trump creates a lot of unforced arrors....see Comey and peach mint pt 1
