The Russians and the Chinese are working together to use Ukraine as a proxy to test the resolve of the United States. There is simply no viable scenario where extricating ourselves from the Ukraine invasion elevates the United States standing around the world. On the contrary, every single time the United States has taken a step back from global involvement, the world descends into war. However, for Democrats to claim that anything other than a blank check to Ukraine means we are actively supporting the Russians is simply ludicrous. Where has the nuance gone in conversations about complex foreign policy issues? Here’s what I propose.

While I know the majority of the candidates who will run for President, I likely know Nikki Haley the best. She is a friend in the literal sense of the word and has served as a prayer warrior for me and my wife.

Haley is uniquely positioned to navigate the cultural and political landscape of the country with the ability to grow the Republican base. Take a moment and listen:

Tim Scott is one of the few politicians that I literally have nothing critical to say about. As the only African American Republican in the Senate, Scott has one of the most compelling stories of anyone on either side of the aisle.

I went to breakfast with Herschel Walker last year after he secured the GOP nomination but before the general election. I knew after leaving that Herschel had no chance of beating Warnock. In his defense, Walker surrounded himself with some of the best people in politics and improved as a candidate as the campaign progressed. However, Herschel Walker was a deeply flawed candidate on a myriad of fronts and Republican primary voters didn’t seem to care. Similarly flawed candidates like Kari Lake in Arizona or just this week, Dan Kelly in Wisconsin, flushed away winnable seats by singularly focusing on the purity of winning the primary without the hassle of broadening the base in the general. While it falls on the candidate and the campaign to define a message that wins more than just hardcore primary Republicans, voters must also support candidates who have a history of appealing to more than just the hardcore partisans.If we don’t, Democrats will continue to dominate swing-state politics.
