Why doesn't the gop run better candidates?

I don't care if DJT cheated on his wife.  Will he lead the country and support the policies I support?  Then he gets my vote.  

With that said, I really think DeSantis (who is a great leader and excellent candidate) will walk away with the nomination in a landslide and finally get us out of this rut of old people.  Clinton and Obama were in their 40s...i think W was early 50s?  

You don't vote for people you don't like based on their personality (among other things).  You use emotion to vote and that's you're right.

Oh yeah, that is exactly the vibes that a Trump rallye sends out. No emotions, just brains. Caravans are coming! Lock her up! Liberals kill newborns! Windmills cause cancer! Rosie O'Donnell is fat! Yeah! All pure brainiacs, those people.

I mean, I believe you, sincerely. You go with policies, fine. But when you start to talk for all GOP voters, your position gets tough to swallow.

Even more so since there are people who just have other ideas about what's good for the country. Why would you not grant liberal voters that they feel liberal policies fit them or the country better? Why paint them as being purely emotional, each and every one of them?
