Most of the Republican presidential candidates in the first debate refused to criticize former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, even though what Trump did was stupid, dishonest, and harmful, and even though these candidates are purportedly running against Trump.
The GOP field basically agreed it would support Trump in the general election were he convicted and still the nominee.It’s enough to make you wonder if these guys are actually running against Trump.
Meanwhile, all the speculation around Gov. Glenn Youngkin is that he will sit out this race to avoid having to challenge Trump and then run for president in 2028. The greater danger to a GOP politician challenging Trump is that you will turn off a significant portion of the Republican base. For millions of Republican voters, the only thing they believe in is Trump. He is the beginning and end of their political belief system. You can never win over an Only-Trumper because simply running against Trump makes you a traitor.
