As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis flipped pork chops in front of the cameras at the Iowa State Fair on Saturday, a plane appeared in the broiling blue sky.
Imagine the GOP being so desperate for a win, they just continue to let this guy rot them from the inside. It’s incredible the lack of balls every single candidate running against him has shown.
The only way I can figure it is he has dirt on everyone. Remember the russians hacked the DNC and RNC email servers but only released info from the Dems.
I don't buy that argument. That would only make sense if Republican voters actually care about "dirt" and would not vote for a politician who was tainted. But obviously we know that's not the case. Republicans who have been accused of everything from embezzling money to grooming children have done just as well in their elections, because their voters would still prefer a crooked Republican over the most saintly Democrat.
I used to work a couple blocks away from Trump tower. Right across the street is UN plaza. I have thought for a looong time now that Trump put cameras in rooms to get dirt on powerful people.
Putin owns the dirt. Trump was shown just enough to keep him in line and he's the primary conduit through which the GOP is controlled. Look at Lindsey Graham's flip to Team Trump. I believe that Trump showed some of Putin's kompromat to Graham and Lindsey decided to switch allegiances both to keep his career and further his own goals.
It's funny because the first group to denounce Trump as a maniac, and to basically accurately describe how fucked up he is was the GOP in 2016. They warned back then what would happen if Trump won, then he won and suddenly he was the best thing ever, and everyone disagreeing has been had by the deep state or something.
It’s incredible the lack of balls every single candidate running against him has shown.
There's probably not much they can do. It's just the state of the Republican Party at this moment in time. And it's where the Republican electorate is. I hope the younger generations will burn this Republican Party to the ground and start over.
It's the primary voters. They still adore Trump, so the other candidates get thrashed of they saying anything truthful like "Trump is a narcissistic psychopath" or "the election was not stolen".
