As things stand now, JD Vance has the best shot to win the general election as any Republican currently thought of as GOP nominee contenders. He had the right position on the war from the beginning, was brave enough to correctly diagnose the causes of the midterm disaster (and use the I-word while doing so), and is the only one with the background and the populist bona fides to win the Rust Belt again, which will be absolutely essential.
You'll notice that both the left and the establishment, Israel-First right hate him with the passion of a thousand suns, and this is why.View quoted post on X

Yes. Exit polls repeatedly flagged tariffs as a major economic policy failure missing from that summary. Roughly two-thirds of voters said Trump’s tariff policies hurt the national economy (66%) and their local economy (64%), with only 14-21% saying they helped. Many linked them directly to higher prices for goods alongside the Iran war’s energy spike. Cost of living dominated overall, but tariffs stood out as a specific, measurable policy voters rejected.View quoted post on X
