7. We need to demand of our next Presidential candidate

that they appoint people who will vigorously pursue the corruption in their departments.

Remember that there has NEVER been a Democrat appointed as FBI Director. Republicans always appoint hard line Republicans. Democrats appoint Republicans they think will be less radical because they "don't want to appear political."

We cannot continue this practice. We know that one of the big points of Project 2025 was to load every department with Trump loyalists and Heritage crazies.

Maybe Obama would call this a "litmus test". But he's the guy who appointed Comey as FBI Director and nominated Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court. This stuff must stop. And the 2028 candidate should be very clear about this intention so that we have a clear mandate. I don't believe we can overcome the election rigging without an overwhelming result, and I don't believe we get an overwhelming result unless we run on strong ideas and plans.
