One thing that occurred to me is that the reason Trump was successful in 2016 and is way ahead now is because he rejected all the supposedly brilliant ‘conservative’ campaign pundits. It’s also why they hate him. He cut off their self entitled grift. That just drove them crazy not being able to eat from the trough.

It’s also why Vivek Ramaswamy is going to pass RDS shortly. He’s running his own campaign and is not part of the swamp and is not cowtowing to the perpetual loser pundits. Like Trump he is a political outsider who has actually successfully accomplished things in the real world.

Which brings me to RDS. He should have done better, but unfortunately he hired a bunch of these leeches and all he got for it was a massive drain on campaign funds and all he got was the usual losing ideas which resulted in him dropping precipitously in the polls. He has apparently booted many of them and it remains to be seen whether he can recover. It’s historically unlikely but time will tell.
