The primary reason Trump and DeSantis are leading the Republican polls is because of their ability to own the libs and drive outrage.
What in the hell has Will Hurd (as well as Scott/Haley/Asa Hutchinson) seen since 2016 to tell them that the Republican base is looking for a unity candidate? And why would Democratic voters vote for a "normal Republican" when they can vote for an actual Democrat?
Everyone not named Trump or DeSantis who's already announced for the Republican primary is just setting money on fire.
It's interesting. There are "moderate" Republicans who want to run in that lane, but they can't get out of a primary. Their strategy is to be there when the party realizes that it has to moderate, so they can immediately be viable candidates.
It's like none of them understand that the snapback's not coming. They pushed things too far to win immediate power and now their party is all extremists. What is Will Hurd's plan for winning a GOP primary, exactly? It's nonsense. He's got the mentality for winning in a purple district, not winning a national race.
Look, they had a chance to moderate after POTUS Obama rolled Mitt, and they went way right instead. They're all in on either breaking the system and taking power illegally forever, or dying. There's no middle ground for moderation left anymore.
