Just suspending the usual disdain for the current state of politics, with the whole election rigging thing, let’s laugh at the current state of absurdity. As they attempt to make political prisoners out of more than just the J6 crowd and go after the front runner of the Republicans, what is the point in thinking any of this debate tonight matters? Is this not like watching tennis when they banned the #1 player from playing because he refused to get the jab? Trump is to the Republicans what Djokovic is to tennis. You can even take this further that they are trying to do every single thing possible to keep him out of it. Good for Trump for sitting this out. I hope it proves that nobody cares about these candidates. I have no intention of tuning into the Republican Replacements. I’ll laugh at highlights later, but I think this will be rather predictable.
The D-List Replacem- I mean Republicans:
Judas Pence:
There is one thing that I can promise you in this upcoming debate, and that is that nobody asked for Mike Pence to run for the Republican ticket. This just shows you how worthless the propaganda has become from the dying networks. The Left hates this man, but now he is the propaganda machine’s darling replacement. Remember when the Left thought he was too much of a bigot to be taken seriously? Nobody wants Pence.
Chris Christie:
See above, but with size 60 pants.
Tim Scott:
The same tired Republican playbook of the We Can’t Be Racist Because Our Candidate Is Black playbook written by the modern Republicans will once again be ran with here. See Larry Elder and Hershcel Walker to see how this ends. If you play the Left’s game, you will lose.
Nikki Haley:
Another Judas. See weak backboned candidates in the dictionary and you will see Haley bow to the Left with the ordered removal of the statues. I have no interest in this woman. The media does which makes me have even less.
Burgum and Hutchison:
Yawn. Pass.
Vivek Ramaswamy:
This is the only interesting candidate on the stage tonight. None of the others have anything surprising or different to say.
Ron Desantis:
As I have written on this Substack many times, great governor and we need more of him, but he will be a terrible president. He is already teaming up with all the wrong people and slowly morphing into another neocon. Sorry, Ron
Debate Predictions:
The candidates above will spend 40% attacking Trump and 40% using Vivek as a chance to grandstand. The moderators will attack Vivek and marginalize him from the get-go. The other candidates will go after him and try to take advantage of it. The debate moderators will be worse to Vivek than they were to Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012. It will go the same. Marginalize him at the beginning. Check. Allow the others to dogpile. Check. The rest of the debate will be about trying to convince the few thousand viewers that Trump needs to be in jail and/or the party needs to distance themselves from him.
It is Trump’s ticket to lose. Him not being there tonight-and hopefully for the entirety of this ridiculous ruse of a primary- is a strong move. The people that follow Trump are done with McConnell and McCarthy and the more that they try to act like Trump is not the leader, the more that they go after him, the more the party splits.
Now back to the elephant that is sitting on top of the elephant in the room, how do you stop the election stealing? Heads up. They are trying to bring masks back. They will run the same game over and over again because as soon as they attempt to make an example out of Trump, the chance to fight back is long gone. My next piece will be on the return of masks. As always, thanks for reading.
Agree on all fronts. The entire debate stage will be ganging up on Vivek and treating him as Trump’s proxy on stage.
