    It will be interesting to see how all these idiots think they can out MAGA each other when the core tenant of MAGA fascism is blind loyalty to Trump. They all want the presidency, so they’re going to have to convince the MAGA cult that they’re somehow better than the cult leader. But they have to do so in a way that doesn’t seem like they’re going against the cult leader.

      They’re relying on the courts to make Trump ineligible, all while calling the courts corrupt by doing so.

      “The Deep State is going to make it impossible for Donald Trump to be President again. There are already RINOs in the Federalist Society who are pushing to make him ineligible. I am the only one on this stage who can push the Trump agenda now that he has been sidelined.”

      Pledging to pardon Trump and “get him back in the Oval Office” would be a pretty solid campaign promise for someone with that angle.

        Honestly, he’d be a moron to attend! All he could do is boost the other candidates with his presence.

            He could probably shit his pants live on stage and wear it as a hat and they would cheer and follow his lead.

              It would start a trend of conservative influencers shitting themselves on Tiktok and trying to convince everyone that it is somehow “owning the libs”

                  Very similar to my favorite analogy of “all of America is a big community pool that everyone shares, and the Republicans keep pissing in it non-stop just to spite the Democrats.”

          Not sure if your being sarcastic, but it’s actually solid strategy for him to no show at this point. He’s in the lead by a mile. We know he’s mentally determining. It’s likely he won’t do himself any favors in a debate. Meanwhile his presence just gets more opportunity for his followers to see alternatives and question him. There’s almost no upside for him to attend.

            I’m being serious. He has nothing to gain, he’d just be letting the other clout chasers ride his coat tails.

    Every RNC debate is dick waving. Theres never plans or policy discussions. Just ‘pick me as your candidate cus the other guy smells funny take my word’.
