Well, it all depends on how you look at it - how much you allow the leftist cultural engineers to influence you. Many people were swayed by that same kind of influence about Trump, too - that he’s just an uncouth “boob” with a huge ego who’s totally incompetent to run a government. Thats how he was portrayed by the leftist media, and alot of people fell for it.
That’s how they also portray Lindell, so that people will just laugh him off as a “useless clown”, and nobody will listen to him.
He has his faults (so does Trump) but he’s put his entire business and reputation on the line in the fight for election integrity, and deserves respect for it.

Respect, yes.
But can you see him as a figurehead of the GOP?
Unfortunately he cannot be taken seriously enough for that.
He nowhere near measures up to the giant figure of Trump.

He may not have the “charisma” to be a good “figurehead”, but I think if he was given the chance, he’d do a great job of actually getting the RNC’s business in order, and start using donations for their intended purpose- supporting MAGA candidates and funding the election integrity fight.
Under McDaniel, an enormous percent of donations just goes to “consultant fees”, etc. Plus she didn’t support MAGA candidates.
We don’t need a good “figurehead” - we need somebody who understands the urgency of the situation and means business about fixing it before it’s too late.

He credits his faith in his god for his strength to change his life. That makes him a powerful witness.
I don’t have to be a believer to understand that about a believer.

I agree with Liz that Lindell is not a figurehead like Trump. He may well have a future in elected office, but not as president. He is a good spokesman and businessman. Could he do a worse job than the recent RNC chairs?

OK. I just don’t sympathize with his approach to ‘salvation’ or turning his life around. I didn’t mean to imply that you do, either. It seems to me Lindell may be a case of emotional collapse and delusional religious reinvention, maybe brought about by drug abuse and other stress. (As he describes it, his conversion went through a couple of stages. And he had already established My Pillow before any of that started.) I’ve seen an interview before his conversion where he sounds a lot different from the clown he has since become. He seemed more stable, rational and articulate. (His tone of voice was also different and normal.) And that was from the period when he was hooked on the cocaine. He used to be a card counter at blackjack in Vegas in those days. All of that said, I stand by my opinion that he’s an embarrassment to the cause he wants to represent, and would be more effective if he stood back and did his work less publicly and more discreetly, without publicly claiming that God was working through him.

I get your point, and agree that his delusional insistence on religion is a drawback.
But all religious belief is delusional, so its “normal” among most conservatives.
And yes, his years of drug addiction, and then withdrawal from it, must have taken a toll on him (I read his book - I’m surprised he’s functional at all)
but he still runs a successful business.
He’s proven how serious he is about fixing election fraud by putting alot of his own money into the investigation and exposing of it, and withstood non-stop legal and media attacks.
We’re at the point in this fight against tyranny that we can’t afford to be choosy about our fighters, and Lindell, if nothing else, is an indefatigable fighter.

Well said, Liz. And … sometimes Trump is an embarrassment. I won’t say we should take constitutional defenders warts and all…or all warts, but I think Liz is right about being too choosy about those we can stand with.
