Dividing kids on race, attacking law enforcement and saying law enforcement attacks people on race. Those things are poison, and that’s not what we should be doing (teaching).” 2 1 Link to comment

The media’s job is to report and criticize if necessary. Hardly smearing and destroying. Just curious. What do you like about him? Thanks.

This is pretty much what governors do. They sign bills. What makes RD stand out? Or, let me ask this. If Ben Sasse were to run for POTUS in 2024, would you vote for him over DeSantis? I appreciate your responses. I just don't know what makes RD stand out, other than controversy?? Ben Sasse, to me, seems like a pretty good GOP Senator (although, the bar is set pretty low these days, IMO). How would you compare RD to Sasse? 2 Link to comment

So, they have attacked the military and the police force. And.....they expect people to believe they are so patriotic because they support the military and Blue Lives Matter. At this point, I can't figure out why police or military people support them. Link to comment
