    That’s the thing, though. They don’t actually have rabid supporters. Trump does, and they want his supporters to support them.

    That’s why no one is interested in watching their debates. The people who actually care about debates aren’t interested in their nonsense, and the ones whose vote they are courting are just waiting for Trump to give them the Go signal.

      Yup I’ve looked at conservative spaces online and it’s all still Trump Trump Trump! I was honestly pretty surprised that they don’t want to try anyone else considering how much everyone else hates Trump but that’s just how out of touch they are I guess.

        In their eyes, that’s one of his best features. The Republican party’s singular common goal these days is to be as contrarian as possible, and the angrier everyone else is with them, the better they figure they’re doing.
