Both are outstanding patriots. Their day will come. They will serve the republic well if there is any republic left to serve five years from now. We have reason to be hopeful. But Trump is the man of the hour. He alone can get us back on track. When Trump's work is done, the young guys will be well-placed to take over.<\/span><\/p>\n

Listen<\/a> to Vivek Ramaswamy's fabulously hard-hitting, content-rich, and super-articulate speech in endorsement of Trump. (7:18) <\/span><\/p>\n

Ron DeSantis' speech<\/a> is also impressive. (4:33)<\/span><\/p>\n

But no complacency! The filthy Dems will use every Alinskyite tactic and commie-playbook trick to win by any and all means. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you are a conservative who can't abide Trump, you are just going to have to suck it up and shut up about the man's obvious flaws.  As DeSantis said, he's superior to Biden — an understatement! — and I would add: superior to any Dem who might run against him. <\/span><\/p>\n

No infighting! Circle the wagons. No RINO-fueled circular firing squad. No Libertarian\/Losertarian or other third-party circle jerk. As Ramaswamy said, it's a war.<\/em> In a war, you have to take sides. You can't float above the fray as if you are a transcendental spectator with no stake in the bloody battle below. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have RINO friends? Confront them brusquely with 'Which side are you on?'<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have Democrat friends? Cut 'em off! Make them pay a price for their willful self-enstupidation. Why should they get the benefit of your friendship? (The usual ceteris paribus<\/em> considerations apply.)<\/span><\/p>\n

And if Nikki the Neocon should get the nomination? Then too you must suck it up and  support her and not hang back because she's not Trump. She can't turn things around, but she could stave off collapse until DeSantis and Ramaswamy are ready to enter the lists.  <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
