Trump’s opponents getting no traction

Once more, I sacrificed my precious time, watching the third primary debate between the remaining five debaters and wasn’t impressed. Sure, Trump was still missing in action, but these days, courts of law are the places he really belongs before he does some deserved prison time.

Of the five the one I disliked the most was Ramaswamy who pretty much sealed his fate by attacking Haley’s high heels. I also disliked Scott, whose sole program is a christian revival. 

De Santis seemed lost and unable to anchor himself during that meeting, while Haley was the only one who could speak eloquently (for a Republican) about abortion and women’s issues. Finally Christie remained the more grounded of the five, but among extremist Republicans, he’s got no chance of gaining traction. 

Since none of these five has the guts to attack Trump, they are in fact legitimizing the frustrated, would-be-dictator who must be quite satisfied of their collective mediocrity. 

What was missing was one of the five saying: “Yesterday, our Party lost ground again in the various elections that took place throughout the Nation. This downtrend that we’ve observed since the mid-term election will continue and amplify into 2024. We’ll be losing big if we don’t get out of Trumpism, MAGA and the dead end path these ideologies are leading us into!” 

But no, fear of Trump remained too strong to allow for that...
