      You’ve claimed you dislike Trump, didn’t vote for him, won’t vote for him in the future, etc etc etc…

      What level of MAGA support are you ok with from a candidate or public official?

      MAGAish?
      MAGAlite?
      MAGA?
      UltraMAGA?

      For me any elected official/public figure who supported Trumps reelection in 2020 is at min MAGAish and has disqualified themselves in my book from earning my potential vote with a few exceptions.

      If you didn’t vote to certify the election you should be actively shunned and utterly ignored.

      If you are Haley, (read her Tim Alberta interview and subsequent walk back) Pompeo, Sununu, Pence, Hogan, DeSantis, all who fumbled the bag with clear hindsight of Trumps actions during and after the 2020 election you have demonstrated you suck and merit little consideration or thought.

      YMMV.

        Yes, I would never vote for Trump under any circumstances. Never have, never will.

        As for republican candidates in the future, I can't really say. It depends on the circumstances, who they are running against, etc. I am not going to apply a MAGA "one drop" purity test. I have zero reservations voting for the democratic candidate and have done so several times in my life.

        I am going to go way out on a limb here and predict that any R candidate that runs against Trump will be eviscerated and denounced by Trump so it will be interesting to see how "MAGA" they end up if they survive long.

          Trump isn’t a one drop purity test. He was 7 years of insanity that was endorsed and supported by a majority of Republicans/conservatives.

          You think we can this cancer by removing the tumor vs what’s needed, radiation, chemo, and removal.

                What's telling is how very little 'eviscerating' Haley received from Trump upon announcing her candidacy.

                    Election denial is a dealbreaker for me.

                      Gotcha.

                      What do you say about organization that hasn’t disavowed Trump completely at this point?

                      Can we even name 5, active and in good standing GOP members, who have disavowed Trump publicly?

                      And if you aren’t one of those people have you not endorsed election denialism?

                        This is quite the word salad, even by normal Trump standards:

                        "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
