Trump, DeSantis, Haley, Pence, and Scott all seemed cavalier about risking a debt default to please the most extreme elements of the party base.
It’s hardly breaking news that candidates for a presidential nomination in either party, and particularly the more ideologically uniform Republican Party, are focused on pleasing the party base rather than looking all moderate and reasonable for general-election swing voters.
But still, it’s notable that so many GOP candidates are willing to give the back of their hands to both the House and Senate leadership of their party and casually embrace a course of action that might have had catastrophic consequences. Sure, would-be presidents strutting their stuff among activists in Iowa and New Hampshire are always going to be absorbed with showing they have a “spine” when it comes to battling the evil minions of the opposing party.
