Hello, I apologize for not seeing this sooner. Let me address a few points concerning both the comments here as well as the recent edits made to the page itself.
First, I agree with LT that Mastriano probably would've lost even without the GOP-E sabotage of MAGA candidates. However, it still should be noted that his campaign didn't receive the money that it needed, while DeSantis' campaign didn't receive money it didn't need.
Second, DeSantis' targeting of businesses which refuse to do business with Israel is both based on a false premise ''and'' unconstitutional. Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism ''per se'', and targeting businesses who refuse to contract with a foreign country on the basis that alone is a violation of the First Amendment.
Third, I created the article because I see strong parallels between DeSantis 2024 and Cruz 2016, and as you may recall Andy created the Cruzites article in response to the latter campaign's tactics. Thus, I believe it is appropriate for CP to respond to DeSantis 2024 in a similar manner.
Fourth, I take back what I said about DeSantis not supporting E-Verify. Upon further research it turns out that the source I used was using exaggerated language to describe his then-limited support. And since that source was published he has taken further action. So again, I take back what I said there.
Fifth, when I wrote that DeSantis was being silent on January 6, I meant that he was being silent on the prisoners who are being held without trial because they were entrapped by federal agents. The source I cited was very clear on what it was referring to, but I had a lapse of judgment and thought the more broad language I used would be understood that way. For that I apologize. I'll reinsert the bullet point with more clear language.
Sixth, regarding RobS' edits of the second paragraph, Trump's bad hires cannot be blamed entirely on security clearance issues. In some cases, it was clearly due to him listening to bad advice. For example, if Rex Tillerson and H.R. McMaster could get security clearance, then Trump would've had no problem replacing them with like-minded individuals. But instead, he hired bottom-of-the-barrel people like Mike Pompeo and John Bolton. That doesn't happen due to a forced hand, no way. On a related note, the same advisers who recommended Bolton and Pompeo very likely were involved in Tillerson and McMaster being pushed out in the first place.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 14:29, February 14, 2023 (EST)
