I think he's too ideologically pure. A MAGA President sometimes needs to be pragmatic and unpredictable - we've seen how the left uses people's principles against them (because they have none of their own). He's more valuable as a Senator.
It can be argued that classical liberalism best takes into account human flaws. Evil people that seek power will always exist, and on that note, it's better for Goebbels to have control of Twitter than to have control over the government department that controls speech. It's not about creating eutopia (like socialism is), it's about minimizing damage from bad actors.
And yet, he doesn’t give in.
He might quietly be the future of MAGA.

Libertarianism is a beautiful idea but, like Communism, it's flawed in its assessment of humanity.

I like what this pede is thinking.
He would be a fine peacetime President.
But we are at War.
