trump is the king of culture warriors. he's the ultimate bully, he's an alpha male. folks like ron desantis shouldn't be trying to focus so much on trying out do trump on that turf, cause they'll lose every time. desantis, for example, got a lotta legislation passed, that doesn't have to do with the culture wars. he should focus on that... all these guys should be focusing more on concrete ways that they have improved people's lives, and to focus on their proposals for how they will continue to improve people's lives. 

the liberal in me thinks they dont focus on those kind of details, cause they are weak on the details that will improve people's lives. as is common these days, both sides of the political aisle wanna keep fighting culture wars instead of things that actually matter

The problem is that is what it takes to win a Republican nomination, but it won't win a general election.  Trump has ensured the Republican's can't win.  The majority of the Republican base are losers, Trump keeps losing for them, they seem to enjoy losing.

It's simply a matter of supply and demand, there are a lot of other options, Tim Scott offers a strong alternative, but the Republican base just doesn't seem interested, the market demands a culture ware candidate, and with that they will lose..

u r probably right, that the base wants culture wars, but if there's any hope in beating trump, everyone else needs to hope an optimistic alternative message might work. we'll call it a hail mary play, like the football play.

Trump corrupted th Republican party, it will stay corrupted as long as he is around.  Even when he's finally gone, not sure the party will ever recover.

Ron DeSantis uses lingo like “declaring war on Woke Culture” because he’s a grifter. 

Whether he can or can’t beat Trump isn’t clear yet. Doesn’t mean he shouldn’t try.

The contest seems to be who can crap on the Constitution the most.  

Book banning, regulating free speech, attacking companies for excersing free speech, this is how you get elected?

Trump is a culture warrior? Huh, never would have described him as that in a million years. But whatever, politics is nothing but labels. Got to put some kind of label on him.
