Josh Hawley.
From all indications, Hawley is a great senator. But only to those of us politics buffs. Outside that and outside his home state, he's most surely unknown. Picking him would be a big mistake. Senator Kennedy from LA would be even better, but then, same thing as Hawley.

Some people make good Senators (or Congressman), and some people make good Presidents (or VPs). I initially supported Ted Cruz in the 2016 Primary because I liked the things he said, AND did, but in hindsight, I don't think he'd make a good President, or VP either! Similarly, I don't think Jim Jordan would make a 'great' Speaker. He is certainly good at what he does on committees as a Congressman though!

A clerk for the judge who is trying to unconstitutionally silence President Trump donated more than six times the max annual allowance for court officials to Democrats
Former President Donald Trump’s counsel, Christopher Kise, suggested in court Friday that the legal team may consider pursuing a mistrial in the civil suit brought by the state of New York in light of a report from Breitbart News.
At the center of the argument is Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle’s report that New York County Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron’s top clerk, Allison Greenfield, “appears to have violated judicial rules preventing officers of the court from making excessive political donations.”
Boyle pointed out that “in 2022 alone, Greenfield gave thousands of dollars” in political donations that apparently exceeded a $500 threshold for court officials in aggregate donations for a calendar year
Allison Greenfield likely violated judicial rules against court officers making excessive political donations
Judge Engoron was advised of her violations after a 72pg complaint was filed w/the NY Bar the same day he issued Trump’s gag order

What these clueless assholes don't realize, or just flat out ignore, is that Trump is the face and voice of the Republican Party, that they are now merely bit players scratching for crumbs. Claiming he "has weakened the party for decades to come" is a lame desperate attempt to remain relevant in a Trump world. These RINOs, and I include DeSantis in this group, have been put into the race to simply prevent Trump from reaching the WH again, and doing a piss-poor job of it.

Donald Trump reportedly pulled out a piece of paper from his suit jacket in court, claiming it would clear him of all wrongdoing in the $250M fraud case.
Left-wing Judge Arthur Engoron refused to let him read it.
The paper in question reportedly was a disclaimer clause relating to a financial statement that AG Letitia James is using to go after him.
“I would love to read this, Your Honor, if I could?” Trump reportedly asked the judge.
“Not at this point, not at this point,” Engoron replied.
“I’m shocked,” Trump shot back.
The disclaimer clause, according to Trump, meant that he wasn’t liable for any inaccuracies on the documents.
“I think that the statements of financial conditions were very good, were actually somewhat conservative, and they were totally protected, and so was I, by the disclaimer clause,” Trump argued. Kangaroo Court.

"All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope."
--Sir Winston Churchill
"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."
The wife of Judge Arthur Engoron has denied making anti-Trump posts on X, after conservative activist Laura Loomer said Dawn Engoron was behind an account that frequently posts anti-Trump content against the former president.
According to Loomer, Dawn Marie Engoron ran a Twitter account @dm_sminxs, where she has allegedly been posting "FUCK TRUMP" tweets, photos of Trump in an orange jump suit, and retweeting attacks on Trump while the trial was ongoing.
Dawn Engoron denied the claims, telling Newsweek: "I do not have a Twitter account. This is not me. I have not posted any anti Trump messages."
But does she have an X account?
Engoron is overseeing Trump's New York civil case, in which AG Letitia James has accused the former President and his organization of inflating their net worth by billions of dollars to obtain premium financing between 2011 and 2021. In September, Engoron ruled - sans jury, that Trump's financial statements committed fraud.
Loomer doubled down, noting that the suspected X account has been locked, that Newsweek "admit(s) they can’t definitively say this account doesn’t belong to Arthur Engoron’s wife," and that Engoron's son has deleted his LinkedIn account yesterday "after I exposed him getting preferential seating from his father in the trial of President Trump."
Loomer also says that "According to the rules of the Chief Administrative Judge of the New York State Unified Court System, judges must “not allow family, social, political or other relationships to influence the[ir] … judicial conduct or judgment."
She has called for Engoron to recuse himself.

— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) November 9, 2023 That said, Newsweek spoke with former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani, who said that a judge's spouse's social media is "not by itself grounds to disqualify a judge," pointing to Ginni Thomas, the wife of USSC Justice Clarence Thomas, whose pro-Trump posts have drawn scrutiny (though, not on an active trial her husband is reviewing - so nice try.)
"Judges themselves have to post something that raises concerns about their impartiality for recusal or disqualification to be appropriate. Family member social media activity, even one's spouse, isn't enough," said Rahmani.
Following Loomer's reporting, conservative commentators called for a mistrial, with former Trump admin official Richard Grenell calling it a "sham trial."

If Trump exaggerates his net worth, and no one is harmed, he should be jailed or lose his business...
But if the government doesn't account for spending OUR money... there's no accountability:
Watchdog finds massive spending reporting discrepancies in Biden administration Treasury Department figures don't account for $195 BILLION
The Departments of Treasury, Health and Human Services (HHS), Homeland Security (DHS) and Transportation (DOT) were flagged by GAO for having multi-billion dollar discrepancies across different public COVID-19 spending disclosures during the 2022 fiscal year. Twenty-five executive agencies, which are responsible for internally determining if they meet the conditions that would require reporting their expenditures to USAspending, were included among the 49 agencies GAO identified as having not reported their COVID-19 obligations to USAspending.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown
