    If he or the GOP had any integrity whatsoever, he would. They don’t though, which is really ironic since ya know, law and order, patriots, merica, ect. The republican party is a joke.

      Honestly, if they were smart they would offer up a better candidate (if they had one) and that would be real trouble for Biden. If the candidate were opposed to the Israeli genocide and moderate or slightly left, he might win over some Biden voters that ate unhappy. Sadly, there is no such sane Republican. They are all just as nutty as Trump or worse.

        They could have potentially run DeSantis, he just lacked the party’s backing. While he’s basically a younger, less orangey Trump for the most part, the fact that he’s a lot younger would have probably won a lot of people over. It wouldn’t change the GOP from being the MAGA party or change their current values or the general situation with the election though.

        We should be grateful that Trump is rather incompetent. He’s torn up the GOP as he can’t allow anyone to overtake him in the hierarchy he’s created. His own ego ensures that any competent ideas that could push his agenda forward are thrown out.

          While that is true and a small positive, tue fact remains that he has set tue standard so low and allowed crazy to become part of the Republican party. New candidates will continue to follow in his path because their base is now a fervent hysterical mass of racism and white nationalism. There is no Republican party anymore and it will not recover. It has become the party of Trump and will remain Republican in name only because it is more a brand than a political organization. They have no values or platform anymore
