I would prefer to vote for someone who believes what the old time Republican party stood for: limited government, personal responsibility, fiscal discipline, a muscular foreign policy and devotion to and respect for institutions.

When the Republicans run someone like that, I'll vote for him or her. I'd vote for Chris Christie, Asa Hutchinson, Will Hurd or Liz Cheney without a second thought. Trump? Never. Same for the Trump-lite candidates: Pence, DeSantis, Haley, Ramaswamy. No way.

I like the post because we need your voice here on the site, but even though I'm ex-GOP...I cannot issue a blanket statement about voting for a candidate based simply on who the candidate is...ESPECIALLY with the GOP. The MAGA influence is far more than just the candidate these days...so even with better leadership...their effectiveness will be limited.

Again...I appreciate your perspective because its similar to mine but I have a greatly lessened loyalty to the GOP until they clean up their party from top to bottom.
