I personally believe Donald Trump should be disqualified from being the Republican nominee in 2024.
His handling of COVID alone should disqualify him. He turned over the country to Fauci, allowed us to be locked in our homes, allowed the economy to be destroyed, allowed millions of people to lose their jobs, allowed churches to be closed, allowed speech to be shuttered, and generally allowed the worst tyranny we’ve seen in this nation in living memory - all while also allowing Democrats to riot and pillage and burn our cities with impunity. He was slow to pivot, and still won’t acknowledge his mistakes or failures.
His handling of the 2020 election should disqualify him. He allowed the Democrats to rig the election right out in the open. He did nothing to combat the early voting, the mail-in voting, the ballot harvesting - including failing to answer them with our own similarly coordinated initiatives. He blew the debate he should never have consented to. He made wild claims about his loss on TV and in fundraising emails but never defended those claims or his supporters in court with equal vigor. Worse, he literally told Republicans not to vote in the critical Georgia Senate runoff, giving Joe Biden two years of unified legislature and four years (at least) of judicial appointments for no reason other than ego.
His hesitancy to defend his pro-life victory (truly his greatest accomplishment), his hesitancy to say that a man cannot become a woman (truly the most fundamental social issue of our time), his hesitancy to denounce the worst people in the world if they just flatter him, and his attacks on and lies about anyone who challenges him in anyway, no matter how important they are to our shared cause should disqualify him.
The fact virtually everyone who ever works for him turns on him - and he on them, that he never asserts any interests above his own, and that he puts ketchup on steaks should disqualify him.
All of these failings and more should disqualify Donald Trump from being the Republican nominee in 2024.
But they don’t.
And so he will continue to run and he will likely win the nomination and I will then likely vote for him in the general because the left has lost the thread completely and become a party at war with reality itself.
I would prefer any Republican currently running and many Republicans not currently running. I hope Donald Trump loses the primary.
But if he doesn’t lose the primary, and he likely won’t, I hope he destroys whoever the Democrats put up and wins the general in a landslide.
Conservatives must win.
