      Ummm, that’s not the question you’re hoping it is.

      They chanted “lock her up!” at rallies.

      The people who still support this man (and it’s a lot of people) would turn against anyone who answered with a no.

      Trump doesn’t do debates anymore. He doesn’t have to. I think he has saturated his market.

      They already asked them if they would support Trump as nominee ( their political rival ) if he was arrested and imprisoned. I think 6 of 8 said “yes”.

        Technically 5 of 8 said yes, DeSantis waited to see what everyone else did and then raised his hand as well.

            Hesitating isn’t the same as waiting to make sure you’re on the same team as the popular kids.

            If anything hesitating puts him marginally above these other bootlicking fascists.

      Didn’t Ramaswamy basically say he would rule through executive order and ignore the courts and congress?
