Nah, nah..this is what you claimed.

"Trump not debating was an elite move, per the data."

It's not an "elite" move. Just a move.

"Former President Donald Trump’s support went unchanged after he skipped the matchup: He remains backed by 58% of the party’s potential electorate — maintaining his 44-percentage-point lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis."


His Tucker interview did not move the needle. How is that "elite"?
His interview was the most [fill in the blank] on twitter, ever, by over 300%.

If that's "nothing" to you then neither is this convo. It's clear he made the right move. Entertaining "gotcha" questions on Fox would have done nothing for him. Instead he set twitter records.

I appreciate you slowly backing away from that "elite" claim.

It was an elite move. Guarantee even Trump didn't expect to set twitter's record 3 times over. Hands down an elite move to do Tucker on twitter (#1 on TV before leaving), over the Fox debate.

It changed nothing as far as his support. Are you saying he would have lost support if he didn't counter-program the debate? I sure don't think so. His party support is locked in right now, it's possible he loses a 1v1, but not against more than one.

Just like anything he does changes nothing as far as his support. He ends up in jail and not able to run, his GOP support won't change much (cause it's culty as hell).

If low taxes, medical freedom, a secure border, school choice, no wars, and no inflation makes it a cult... Sign me, my children and grand children up all day long and twice on Sunday.

You don’t really need to defend your post. The man is obviously triggered you just even mentioned Trump. You could compliment Trumps tie and you will get the Anti Trump cult bagging you for it and wanting a link and metric for having a nice tie.

Pick someone else then. The candidate with 4 indictments is the only who espouses those views?

The indictments are a joke and anyone without brain worms knows it. Trump will fight against the establishment harder than any other candidate has proven he/she will.
This is cultish language. Is it inconceivable to you that Trump, despite with his history, could break the law?

Every President in my lifetime had broken laws, most if not all, far more severe than Trump's. I'm not chasing the internet down demanding they be tried and hung.

I care about a country in massive decline, poor people being crushed, and violence through the roof. And who I think is best to corect that.

It's like you divorce the words used and only care about the sentiment.

Had Trump jumped up to +50 I would be agreeing. Library wants to celebrate the maintaining of status quo as "elite". I disagree and want to know what he means. His responses after provided me with the contexted I needed.

That is a cop out. Everyone you know breaks laws (speeding) and the other candidates are not facing federal and state indictments.

Again....is Trump the only way for you to get "low taxes, medical freedom, a secure border, school choice, no wars, and no inflation"?

He set the twitter viewership record, all time, 3 times over... He clearly made the right move... You don't have to like it, but to pretend it wasn't a great move in hindsight is brain worms.

Enjoy the game. Make America Great again! 🇺🇸

For anyone that actually cares how Lberry is wrong. As of Thursday, Andrew Tate and Tucker had more video views than Tucker and Trump.

"Mashable can report that, as of the publication of this article on Thursday evening, Carlson's Trump interview has received 14.8 million video views on X. "

"For example, in July, Carlson brought on controversial right-wing influencer Andrew Tate for an episode. As of publication, that video has 17.9 million views on X. It has 107 million tweet views, or impressions."

I don’t care if Trump gives me all of those things and makes $100 bills come out of my ass.

Trump suggested the "termination of all rules...even those found in the Constitution" by his very own Truth Social post. Combine that with the crap he tried to pull with Pence…. he is unfit for service and a danger to our Republic.

Don’t get me wrong, the Democrats are equally dangerous. But there is no way in hell I vote for Trump.

You would think this would be a more common opinion amongst the party of law and order.

Everyone wanted to lock Hillary up, so Trump made it easier to punish. He Turns around and breaks his own law and then no one in his base that wanted her locked up wants him to be held accountable to his own rules. jprue is right, it’s a cult.

Something tells me you won’t agree no matter the context or what he means. Stop pretending to be arguing in good faith.

You would think lol - the party of big spending and big government not actually doing what their followers like.....whattttttt?

Equally dangerous though lmao, far left would like free healthcare and education for everyone and the far right would like to lynch gay people, but yeah they're the same lololol

Trump’s core support in the Republican Party is around 40%. Only way Trump doesn’t win the primary is if it gets whittled down to Trump and one other candidate almost from the get go.

This is where the candidates that have no realistic shot need to bow out sooner rather then later.

I watched some of it - it was boring AF. Trump is turning into a rambling old man. He is overplaying his victim card and has no plan for anything.

Nice little surge for Haley and Christie. We desperately need those bottom few to drop out.

National polling doesn't really matter at this point. It all comes down to Iowa/NH. Real issue is a bunch of non Trump candidates want to stake their campaign on Iowa, often in ways that make them toxic in NH. If Trump wins Iowa/NH it becomes really hard to stop him even if the opposition consolidates.

The challengers would all probably prefer him over another challenger because they could run again in 2028, so I fear the drop outs might endorse Trump.

They just set his trial date to start the day before Super Tuesday, the most important day of the Presidential Primary. That's Banana Republic shit and it's obvious they're trying to stop his reelection and drain him to the bone.

Not sure it's possible for him to overplay his victim card at this point. The Russian Hoax ran for 4 years doing the same thing.

Why should the people not get a speedy trial? He has 4 trials coming up. It's going to affect his ability to campaign no matter what they choose.

Trump has been using a victim card his entire life. He's never going to stop. It's always someone else's fault.
