Rep. [[Chip Roy]] (R-TX) is a [[Opposition to Donald Trump|Never-Trumper]] who has been AWOL on the all-important [[election integrity]] issues.  Without fair elections, no amount of bluster matters.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 16:26, December 22, 2022 (EST)

:Personally, I don't see stances merely on Trump as what should be a prioritizing determinant for whether an individual merits the award. I'm open to differing opinions on this, and to reiterate a point above, I see Trump at this point as being too drowned in his own selfish personal ambitions and exploiting the conservative movement to help himself. While it may be reasonable to argue that Roy's opposition to Trump prior to 1/6/2021 were unreasonable, at this point, his distancing from Trumpism isn't unreasonable, IMO. Furthermore, the term "Never Trumper" in being applied to him may not be accurate, since during Trump's presidency he supported the strong conservative policies, from my understanding. Whether he truly ''never'' supported Trump is most likely debatable.

Whether he truly ''never'' supported Trump is most likely debatable, though I admit that you are likely more knowledgeable about this focus in particular since you were an early original researcher into Cruzism.

:When it comes to election integrity, I see nowadays that most of its heavily outspoken purported proponents ride the fence of zealous trutherism or reach into that territory too far. While the issue is important, I personally don't think Roy should be heavily seen with suspicion on the mere grounds that he doesn't ''seem'' to emphasize election laws the same manner that mainline MAGA populists do. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|^{(Exodus 23:2)}]]''''' Thursday, 16:35, December 22, 2022 (EST)
