He pimped the Grand ole Party in a hostile takeover….
His act still work’s with most Republicans….
Philip Bump: “Donald Trump’s success in the 2016 Republican nominating contest was, at its essence, uncomplicated.”
“Running against a cadre of sitting and former elected officials, Trump said things they wouldn’t — mostly the things that were being said in the right-wing media and by pundits on Fox News. The reputation for ‘truth-telling’ his supporters embrace was born of his willingness to elevate false, popular claims, particularly about the left. He wasn’t elected for his policies; in fact, he broadly rejected the idea that people cared much about policy.”
“The only thing that’s changed over the past eight years, really, is that everyone should know the playbook by now. We should know that he will 1) flood the zone with things that are burbling on the right-wing fringe, 2) make sweeping promises without much follow-through and 3) reject any criticism out of hand, spinning it into a reason to praise himself.”
“And so it was with his interview on NBC’s Meet the Press that aired Sunday.”
Why should Trump show up for these debates?
They are totally irrelevant to anything.
The Republicans either nominate him ( and probably lose) or not nominate him and he will make sure they lose.
And these debates?
Watch some old reruns of Perry Mason or something!
Agreeded on Trump NO Shows…
Why show up and take questions and beat downs?
