You’ve got to go with the leader you have, not the one you wish you had. From T.L. Davis at tldavissubstack.com:
First of all, you don’t fight a war with the general of your choice. Sometimes you get lucky and get a Lee, Grant or Washington, but just as often you get a Milley. These are things determined in the stars. If you won’t fight the war until you get your Goldilocks general in place, you’re going to do a lot of losing without a fight.
In fact, you’re not ready to fight a war if the general you want is someone who’s acceptable to your enemy. When you fight a war you want it to be with a general that terrifies the opposition, makes them desperate and often stupid. You want one that makes them so terrified of losing that they destroy their own troops with insane orders and clearly unhinged reasoning. This is what Jack Smith just did with the indictment, this isn’t a serious indictment, they’re relying on the corruption of the judge to smooth over their stupidity and protect them from their massive mistakes like opening the door to adjudicate the 2020 election and expose the FBI involvement in the fedsurrection.
No matter how much one might like someone different, that’s not the way to fight the war. The Corleone Family even had to ditch their favorite attorney Tom Hagen in favor of a wartime consiglieri, because Tom was just too amenable, didn’t really have the stomach for it and in the film he convinces the family that he could do it, but it was a tough sell. I don’t want Tom Hagen to run a war against the left, either. Certainly not right now, with our backs against the wall, with no real weapons available to us at this last moment of the republic, except the ardent support of Trump.
It isn’t fine but we may have to hit the mattresses and let’s win it by any means necessary.
