Let's see vivek crush desanctimonious in the debates, where desantis' wishywashy lawyer speak, where he takes no position on issues, backfires on him.

I’ve been listening to Dan Bongino’s radio show lately. Bongino supports Trump for Pres. but has also become a big supporter of Ramaswamy.

Cheering the Soros newly minted and fake Republican Ramaswamy I see. Helps understand your politics. And just remember your love of polls, once they don’t support your candidate of choice.

But we were told that most voters won’t vote for Trump. Even more voters won’t vote for Biden. That means Trump can win.

DeSantis completely misunderstood his own popularity. Among his grassroots supporters, most were also Trump supporters. Attacking Trump alienated his own base of support. Vivek jumped ahead of him when he started defending Trump.

Trump is the elephant in the room. Trump is the only one running with actual organic support.

DeSantis was a shoo-in for 2028 based on his performance as governor. Now? He has soiled himself and it’s self-inflicted.

Why would you want a bonafide liberal even close to the presidency? Vivek loves transgenders so much that he wants to keep them in the military. Are you really cool with that?

“Hypothetical” lol

RDS isn’t going to drop out 6 months before Iowa, based on daily push polls. His internal polling tells a different story. Trump’s internal polling tells a different story too. One that has Trump begging TWICE now for the other candidates to drop out. Funny, he didn’t beg anyone to drop out in 2020.

Remember when Trump was publicly saying that Biden was too scared to debate him repeatedly, and Biden debated him? Me too.

IF DeSantis had an ounce of pride and self respect, he would shut down his campaign and throw his full support behind President Trump.

Vivek will crush the entire field. He clearly has a good 40 or so IQ points over the other debaters and he is two or three times a better communicator. Anyone with a truly open mind will be at a minimum pleasantly surprised by Ramaswamy. The only downside to Ramaswamy is the debate format. It’s also the reason why I don’t like debates. There is not enough time to respond to questions to really give anything more than trite, sound bite answers. That’s what the media wants so they can spend the next news cycle running mere seconds of what is said and then moronically and arrogantly analyzing a meaningless predicate for argument. It’s the wrong starting point for a serious discussion. Even so, I think people will find other debaters wanting.

If you seriously desire to know where candidates really stand, then watch them in long policy speeches and long form interviews not performed by the mainstream media. Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point event are a good start. That’s where Pence committed political suicide by not being able to look at Tucker Carlson in the eye when answering questions and made the gaffe, "Not my concern”. Many other candidates were interviewed at that event. Then there’s a number of other long form interviews plus policy speeches on Rumble and YouTube. It really takes viewing multiple interviews and speeches to get a real idea how bad a majority of the candidates really are. While it’s easy to ridicule Chris Christie, it’s really another entire level to know what he really wants to do. The same goes with all the other candidates, that includes Vivek, because certainly there are many that ridicule him without knowing him or his policies.

If the republican party was a real party that actually stood for something and represented their voters they would circle the wagons around Trump. What’s happening to Trump is an attack on America, on our system of elections, on our very freedoms, and honestly it is quite hazardous to our nation.
But instead the republican party wants to pretend that this is a normal election cycle.

The republican party is destroying itself. I believe this is all a necessary step in getting this country back. What will replace the milktoast republican party? Washington should be worried.

If Trump doesn’t debate, few will even watch, probably just as many or more would watch his interview with Carlson. When someone is leading his closest competitor by about 40 points, it won’t make much sense for Trump to give his competitors, such as the highly hostile Christie, the backstabbing Pence, or the neocon warmonger Haley, a chance to score cheap shots against him. Just about everyone in the country knows what Trump actually did, all the others will just have to say they would do this or that, with most of them saying they’ll do what Trump did but more of it.

the poll means nothing.

The poll, released Saturday, shows that 42 percent of registered voters would vote for Trump in that scenario, placing him a point above Biden at 41 percent. West takes five percent of the respondents, and another thirteen percent are undecided.

Without election integrity the game is rigged. And neither the D.C. GOPers or the individual state GOP organizations or Trump have done anything to encode into law or the organizational structure the needed reforms in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin or Georgia. Demon Rat organizers loyal to B. Hussein Obama and his imps are running things either in the state capitals and/or the metropolitan areas that somehow find tens of thousands of Demon Rat votes in the three to five days AFTER the election is over.

So go ahead and do all the name-calling you like, whether you are a Trump supporter or a DeSantis support or a Vivek supporter or a Tim Scott supporter.

Unless God intervenes, this is gonna be another "amazing" win for whatever figurehead the Democrat party puts in as their nominee.
