No. That's the worse idea ever.
Republicans get a bad rap for being racist, homophobic, religious gun nuts. The first two are incorrect. And there's nothing wrong with being religious and/or a gun enthusiast. I don't think it's a coincidence that kindest, friendliest, hardest working, conscientious, open minded, compassionate, generous, moral, and patriotic people I know are republicans. I don't even think it's close. I have a lot democrat friends. They are superb. They're very smart, but I've noticed they are a little more self-involved, a little more sheltered in their upbringing and social circles, significantly more judgmental, more standoffish, fickle, and morally relative.
All the GOP has to do, is put the best face forward representative of who conservatives really are. Not the cartoonish political satirical characters that the media churns in it's kitchen aid. Obama, is a perfect representative of what liberals want, how they think, and their morals. He's a great salesperson for their agenda because he's young and relatable to the electorate.
Trump is none of that obviously. Cruz, while I respect his principles and intelligence, is also not relatable to the electorate due to his personality. Here's an observation, intellectual ideologues aren't relatable as candidates because most voters aren't intellectual ideologues. That's not to say you can't have a true conservative or true liberal as a candidate, but they can't talk like an ideologue. It's a social media world. You need a candidate that's social media proof.
That's why I think a Haley, a more accomplished Rubio (being a senator hurts him greatly though), or a general/admiral who has had experience leading men and women of all kinds of backgrounds can excel in 2020. It has to be someone that represents the positives of conservative ideas to a whole range of people. Not someone who insults a who swatch of Americans.
Trump has bragged that he sexually assaults women. He has tweeted to people to check out a sex tape. I think twitter conversations about sex tapes removes his obligation to support Trump. Don't you agree?
Ryan isn't disagreeing with Trump's policies. It's Trump's fitness for office that's in question. And of course, Trump isn't even talking about policies. I doubt Trump would have won the nomination had these come to light in the primaries.
