I fail to see what the point of complaining about the lack of “good” candidates is. The GOP had an embarrassment of riches when it came to options in 2016: From the most Republican of Republicans in Jeb Bush to minority options like Marco Rubio, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorino.
They CHOSE the loud guy. Overwhelmingly.
Frankly, every choice I would’ve made on the Dem side in 2020 would be considered too old and party mainstream for the complainers these days (Liz Warren, Harris, Biden, in that order). I have yet to hear a name from the “We need fresh blood” camp that would stand a chance in 2024 or beyond. (AOC – any of The Squad really – would get slaughtered in the general election right now.)
What’s considered the Right Choice in internet circles will generate a giant “Who?” in the real world. Remember that.
