In What Ways the Presidential Primary Matters and Doesn’t | 5/22/23

Today, I offer my initial thoughts on why it’s important that DeSantis win the nomination. I don’t think the presidential election matters much in terms of our ability to fix the federal government. I don’t think anyone can, and I think we instead need to focus on red-state interposition. But where it does matter is in terms of setting the tone for the sort of candidates, policies, strategies, and messages we need for our other endeavors. Trump gives us headwinds, while DeSantis offers us tailwinds. I also delve into the DeSantis family dynamic and how the importance of a strong, vibrant family as the symbol of our movement is an underrated feature of this race. It’s actually more important that we have someone like DeSantis as leader of the party and movement than the actual office of the presidency itself. Learn more about your ad choices.
