I think most people would.
Who do you want?
Someone who’ll give the globalists hell. Trey Gordy or Josh Hawley would be great, but I don’t think either would run.
Josh Hawley is a complete fraud. Go have a conversation with any non Trump Humper from the state of Missouri some time.

China, aka Blackrock. Meet the new boss; same as the old boss.
If you have a point to make that's in that article, feel free to post it, because I'm not going to spend time looking for it.
It's simple:

Blackrock is buying up all of the land.
Blackrock is the only "American" company operating in China.
China does not allow companies to operate there unless they own a majority share of them.
Hence, "Blackrock," er . . . China, is buying the land.
Your lack of reading comprehension is stunning.

Are you referring to masculine Senator Manhood?

The guy so rife with masculinity, it renders him helpless to not talk about it incessantly?

It's like a never-ending public confession, a cry for help.

Also, it's Trey Gowdy, not Gordy.

Actually both Cruz and Hawley are quite intelligent. They both have figured out exactly what schtick they need to adopt to fool all of the rubes all of the time.

Ben Carson on the other hand is proof that brain surgeon is a profession that doesn’t exactly require much intelligence.

Also seeing reports this morning that DeSantis’ campaign is going to have to cut staffing. Arizona GOP is close to broke.

“Could”, sure. But Biden’s own fundraising appears fine?

I would look at: (1) loyalty-test local party spending on frivolous election challenges, and (2) Trump and Trump-adjacent grift sucking R money out of the system.

Could be. Judging by all of the stuff lined up along the roads with For Sale signs on it, I’d say it feels a lot like the average Joe is feeling the pinch up here in Michigan. Not much discretionary income to spend on politics.

Definitely appears to be an R problem. To go with cash sucked out of the apparatus from frivolous election challenges and parasitic grift, I suppose I’d just add possible popular disillusionment with the program generally.

Maybe families and companies who could hold their nose and donate in service of lower taxes, minimized regulations and so on…no longer can now that their children and sisters are openly targeted by the right.

Thus the reason why many people donate to campaigns. They want their money to continue to be their money.
