Best hope is desantis but trumps cult is strong don't know if he breaks past that.

Go read about the Bush family history, you may start putting 2 and 2 together. The swamp is very deep on both sides. McCain is the same but less bad.

There really are very few people in the government I would ever trust to have the people's back. Once you figure that out, then you can start looking at what Trump wanted to do and said should be next to cut the size of federal employment greatly. Now he hired too many swamp members so very little got done unfortunately.

Very aware of the Bush history don't support them at all. What trump says and does are two different things. Trump talks about small government but before covid he spent more then bush and Obama. During the covid he set the precedent the federal government has the power to shut down private commerce and then subsidized it with wealth redistribution calling it stimulus. Trump did nothing to change the ACA didn't prosecute Hillary didn't address immigration hell I challenge Amy conservative to show me one way trump reduced federal power. The only saving grace is he appointed conservative judges but damn is that all we got? 

The main problem with trump is he does not view federal power as the problem, he just thinks we need smarter people with the power. If you really step back there isn't much difference between bill Clinton and donald trumps administiion, that's a problem if your selling me trump as the great hope for the GOP

Edit: building a wall even fully is not addressing immigration, thats just dressing on a pig.
