Where Are Those Other Candidates?
The GOP Presidential debates are nearly six months away. Seriously. And lost in all the loyalty pledge brouhaha circulating this week (we’ve seen this movie, believe us) is one big question.
Where are all the other candidates? The ones the media seems to think will beat Trump?
Well, we know there’s Nikki Haley, who we’ve covered at length before. Good luck getting to 3%!
That’s it. That’s the only even somewhat serious candidate to challenge the man who nearly overthrew American democracy and is running again to finish the job.
Where’s that new generation of Republican leadership we keep hearing about? Where’s Ron DeSantis? Besides dodging the ultra-MAGA base at CPAC, we mean. Where’s the candidate the media will declare “oh yes, the fever is now broken?”
Nowhere. The race for the GOP Presidential nomination is emptier than a Trump hotel. And it’s empty for one reason only.
Six months until that first debate. Less than a year until the primaries. It’ll be 2016 all over again. How much do you want to bet too many are going to fall into the same trap?
We’re the only political organization that has always been right about Trump. We beat him in 2020 and unlike everyone else, we recognize the threat he still poses to our country. That’s why we’re sounding the alarm today and everyday until we drive him out of our politics for good.
