By “Money Liberal” I mean the idea that the most important thing about people is their income level–as opposed to culture, safety etc So the goal is to give the poorest cash welfare without worrying about enabling a culture of non-work and fatherlessness.

Good advice. But what if Trump is indeed vanquished early. Peace reigns. Then Trump gets bored and decides to pull a Ross Perot? There’s time for a lot of twists & turns. https://t.co/8DBIqBFF2r

Right now they’re still obsessed with Trump so DeSantis gets a bit of a pass. Not clear if that helps or hurts him. MSM hostility can be rocket fuel in GOP primary, right? Might be best thing Trump has going for him. https://t.co/I9g4xb6Y9s
