We may disagree, but one of the beauties of our constitutional republic lies in the way individual voters judge candidates.
There is only one criteria that chaps my khakis when cited by conservatives as their reasoning for voting for or against someone: Electability.
That's why when I hear people say U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Barnette from Pennsylvania is unelectable, I shake my head. Let's look at reality.
Like Trump, DeSantis and Gianforte had major baggage attached to them, FAR more than what's being attached to Barnette.
Those who don't want to vote for Kathy Barnette because they don't like the things she's said in the past or they believe her resume is questionable are absolutely fine in my book.
Anyone who thinks Kathy Barnette has too much baggage to win in the general election denies what Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Greg Gianforte, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, and Lauren Boebert taught us in recent years.
Compared to Dan David who ran against Dean in 2018, Barnette dramatically outperformed him, getting 48% more votes than David got in his race against Dean two years earlier.
