The extreme Trump push does seem to have made a very negative outcome at the polls. I really wish that the Republican party would take a better look at how the Democrats continue to win despite the lack of quality in many of those voted in. I ran a small business that competed against a well-known national competitor. I studied the competition well and put their local company out of business my first year. My passion to be "better than" led me to find the competitors "Achilles heel". I was able to convey why local businesses should advertise with my little business venture over the "known" and won the account time after time. Simple sales point, "features and benefits" might benefit the Republican's in future campaigns...just a thought.
Placing the blame on Trump due to his actions (or not) represents a cynical view of conservative voters. I have problems with Trump and with his timing and actions sometimes, but, I am still looking for a national leader that has his fire and love of America. Until someone else comes along willing to call out our current national leadership, he's my guy. Here is another view we all need to consider when falling in behind DeSantis who has qualities I admire but.....
Precisely. Ron DeSantis is being hyped like FTX of the GOP. A "smarter" alternative to the tried-and-true. I'm told I should invest in him, and that he's the future. Big names are saying "I'm in!"
“Both the president and former president are still underwater when it comes to personal ratings -- Biden by 15 points (42% favorable-57% unfavorable) and Trump by 17 (41-58%).”
As much as I wanted Drazan to win, I never believed it was possible. There are far too many Oregonians that will never vote red, Trump or not. Take my MIL, for example, who has had homeless people camping across the street from her 700k home only to vote blue again because “I don’t want to lose my social security”. Her sister says the same thing. Additionally, everyone leaving Oregon, myself included, was conservative and everyone moving into Oregon is a progressive. I love my home state but lost hope for it. This election confirmed it’s past saving.
dump trump. simple, terse, and to the point. more importantly, someone needs to present a compelling argument that the democrats are the antithesis of the type of democracy (republic, if you will) that was the vision of the founding fathers.

Good advice, Cheryl.
