voter suppression/legislative perogatives being put in place in red states, a more pristine trump-like candidate (like DeSatan) would have some advantages that might be difficult to overcome.

An ex-repub who is a real patriot first. not like some who call themselves "patriots" and want to over throw the Constitution.

Btw, trump besides wanting to throw away our Constitution Also wants to do away with Social Security.. eliminate the Tax that Funds our Social Security.
