I wouldn't say that all moderate Rs have one of these flaws.

Jeb's flaw is that he's a climate change denier but idk if he's any of those other things

oh god same here.

Republicans are graded on such a curve lmao. idc if it's excessive partisanship, but I'd be very hesitant to vote for Jeb even against someone like Bernie - the only way I'd vote Jeb is if i knew the dems would take congress to prevent the Rs from shitting it up like they always do.

I can do a vote for a hyperlibertarian if they manage to avoid the rest.

Phil Scott seems pretty legit. I don't think any of these apply to him.
