Here's my test for winning and losing an election: are you in the Oval Office at the end? If you are in the Oval Office at the end, you have won. If you are not, you have lost. And I don't care about the excuses. Get it freakin' done. We need that attitude among Republicans. No sentimentality, no "loyalty" – your loyalty does not extend to politicians. They need to serve you. They need to earn your loyalty. What are you? Some sort of minion? You're an American. They work for you, buddy. They need to be held accountable, and we need to can the ones that don't cut it. If Donald Trump doesn't cut it, here's your gold watch. If Ron DeSantis doesn't cut it, sorry, back to Florida – you with your frozen iguanas, dinosaurs walking around, and many, many bugs. Sentimentality is weakness, and you don't want to be weak, folks.
