Trump is a toxic and divisive leader incapable of building an effective Republican Party that can win enough elections down the ballot to create an effective governing coalition. The solution is easy: move on from Trump.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley are both highly capable, and their combination as president and vice president would be both welcomed by voters and good for America. DeSantis is the candidate with the stronger executive track record, delivering wins first for other Republican candidates down the ballot, and then turning those electoral wins into policy wins at the Capitol. …
Either candidate would be a far superior choice than Trump. Together, they would be an overwhelmingly more attractive electoral and governing partnership than Biden-Harris.
[The CPAC endorsement feels premature. This plea feels a few months too late. Even if DeSantis and Haley would agree to it now, it’s too late — unless DeSantis pulls off the upset of a lifetime in Iowa on Monday. The time for the GOP to make this calculation was last summer, and then to organize well enough to make that the single alternative to the Trump Restoration. — Ed]
