Wishing and hoping for anyone but Trump makes no sense if you are a Republican. Do you truly believe any Republican will be spared the complete assault Trump received starting before he took office?
When McCain ran even the media he catered to his entire political career called him every name under the sun and basically made him out to be a monster. Bush and Romney were treated the same.
Character assassination awaits anyone running against the Socialist Regressives propped up by a dishonest mainstream media and social media. Desantis and every other option will get the same treatment. Herman Cain, a black conservative, had women coming out of nowhere to accuse him of horrible acts decades prior until he dropped out and then you never heard from those women again. Kasich, the RINO fraud, will never get the nomination but if he were to somehow pull it off he would quickly be labeled the worst person on earth.
Thinking there is a candidate out there that will not be immediately despised and attacked by the hateful intolerant left is foolish. So I hope Trump runs again and crams it down every freakin' lefties throat.
