Trump’s blatant shortcomings don’t matter to his followers, and that spells trouble for everyone As the GOP Clown Car rumbles into the spotlight of the primaries, it’s painfully obvious that they have no candidate.
Yes, Nikki Haley has the support of the Koch brothers, and Ron DeSantis is talking a good game. Even Vivek Ramaswamy looks good on camera, though his name is unpronounceable.
Sadly none of these folks is a viable candidate. The Republican Party is a pale shadow of what it once was, and it is dominated by the Cult of Trump.
Trump has such little regard for the party that he doesn’t even show up for the debates, and he ends up looking stronger for it — at least with his believers.
