Remember when he had all those Clinton rape victims at the debate back in 2016? Really psyched out Bill and Hill.
I guess he's hoping Jr. will do the same to these GOP candidates.
It’s paid astroturf.
Most likely they are DeSantis or Ramaswamy staff/volunteers, or GOPe Freepers.
“Should be turned away. The invite is for President Trump, not his spawn.”
They are not going to fill in for Trump. They are going as Trump’s media team to watch and comment on the debate.
it’s always hilarious to read advice from a bunch of aholes who think they’re smarter than Trump.
GOPe Freepers
a.k.a.
rich men north of Richmond
Yeah, especially after the RNC has been out front fighting for fairness for President Trump all this time.
(do I really need a sarc tag for this?)
Is there a law that says Don, Jr. can’t be in the audience?
Reading the responses to this thread makes me wonder if anybody in this room has any common sense at all. He’s not going to be IN the debate, he’s going to be AT the debate. He’s not running for president. So why would he possibly be on the debate stage? That’s not how debates work. You don’t get to send a surrogate. Sheesh.
They should just bring a cardboard cutout of Trump so the contestants can properly center their rage.
It will be interesting to see if any of them attack each other. They're going to have to start doing that, if any of them want to be standing in the end.
Some of them sincerely support a Republican alternative like DeSantis or Ramaswamy, believing they would make a better President than Trump at this point.
Most, I am convinced, are just Democrat liars, infiltrating our ranks in order to try and sabotage the MAGA movement. Their defeatism, cynicism and mocking tones are not heartfelt - they are the tools of a troll.
If we express hope, they call it “hopium”. When we support Trump, they say we are worshipping him. If we are encouraged they call us fools.
You can tell who the trolls are by the way they double down if you try to encourage them. They are not in the market for encouragement - they are here to discourage us.
Kari Lake and Matt Rosendale from MT-2 will also be in the spin room as Trump supporters.
Didn’t GOP set strict rules about who can be in the debate? Like campaign contributions, a certain standing, and being a candidate?
Why should he? His agenda was clear as evidenced by his promises and accomplishments during his past presidency.
He has nothing more to offer and nothing more to prove in a debate.
Let the second team compete to see who can compete against the KING..........
Card board cutouts can be very effective! An elderly lady attendee at a relatives wedding brought a life size cardboard cutout of her husband, who was too ill to attend. When she wasn’t dancing with ‘him’, the other single ladies took turns with him on the dance floor. He was the most popular dance partner of the night.
Lotta tough people around here sitting behind a computer terminal. Sorta like Biden challenging fighting fat guys behind the barn.
Just like Biden, another old man that can’t risk getting on the debate stage with younger candidates. He can’t afford those optics, so send the son.
It’s not surprising since Trump must avoid having to defend his COVID failure; turning the nation over to Fauci and the swamp. Lockdowns, $300B in inflationary CARES money to fund them, and his”beautiful” vaccine death jabs that he has called one of the greatest achievements of mankind must now be memory holed.
I’m not insulted.
