27. I think you're a on a futile quest to find a candidate devoid of flaws or weakness.

Or one that right wingers, the right wing media and right leaning independents, can stomach. That's not going to happen, in this world or the next. I think we're all free to vote for whoever we want to in the primaries and I would advise folks to ignore the narratives created by the media and other right wingers, and just vote for who they think would do the best job and let the chips fall where they may. That's the only way I could live with myself, tbh. There's no scenario where I would allow what the RW media or RW leaders to influence who I vote for in the primaries, or define that candidate for me.
