    I don’t understand this attack. MAGA will just say this is outsider bonifides. And honestly, my ideal candidate would be unpopular with the establishment too.

      It’s clear that everyone on the progressive side of the political spectrum hates Trump. But even on the conservative side, people in leadership also hate Trump. When it comes to presidents and VPs, Bush has stopped short of talking about Trump but he has spoken against the MAGA movement, and the Cheneys hate Trump. Mike Pence was almost killed by Trump’s coup attempt and he spoke against him too. The previous GOP candidates for president were Romney and McCain, and they both hate(d) Trump with a passion.

      I think it’s at least telling by looking at the presidential tickets that everyone in leadership in the United States of America hates Trump, even within his own party. Anyone at the top level with proven experience on how to run this country, on both sides, hates Trump.

      Maybe the MAGAs have no ability to stop and ponder on this. But the independents considering their choices for Nov might. And any conservative that cares about running the country right might consider their choices too. Perhaps not every registered Republican has the stomach to keep putting party over country, and even more so now that the Republican party has been debased to just being for the Trump cabal and circus.
