He's screwing up bigly in Iowa, IMO. He's furious with Governor Reynolds for staying neutral with her endorsement and he acts like that's a betrayal because she wouldn't be Governor if not for him. Which just isn't true. On top of that, he's brawled with several prominent GOP people in Iowa over Lord knows what, and for what?
On the R candidates announced so far.
I like Ramaswamy. I like everything he says but he's simply too young for the weight of the job. Eight years from now, with some experience, yes viable for me.
DeSantis has done a lot of good things In Florida and I have no negative thoughts on policy. Highly suspicious of relationship of his reinstate of the Broward County election official for a brief period that allowed for 50,000 ballots to disappear. What disqualifies him for me is his relationship with Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush as this group is made up of ultra-globalists.
Regarding Trump, I don't fully trust him either and the pettiness is a turnoff. What makes Trump the most viable for me is what he accomplished when in office in spite of all in DC attempting to sabotage him. Continued efforts by the establishment (govt and news media) demonstrate to me that Trump is "for the people".
The others are non-starters.
