With less than a month to go before voting begins, Donald Trumpās Republican rivals are once again rallying to his defense, this time after Coloradoās Supreme Court ruled to remove him from the stateās presidential primary ballot under the U.S. Constitutionās insurrection clause.
Just as they had following Trumpās successive indictments as he racked up 91 criminal charges, the GOP front-runnerās opponents cast the landmark decision ā the first time in history the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate and one the former president has vowed to appeal ā as inappropriate, a āstuntā and an āattack on democracy.ā
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis charged the courtās ruling was a plot to ensure Trump wins the nomination because Democrats view him as the weakest Republican candidate.
For the life of me I just canāt understand whoās donating to these people. Like who are their supporters? They literally arenāt trying to win. Their entire thing is cow-towing to a different candidate. Whatās the point of them even being there? Like I get most of them are it to make money I get that. But why are people paying them?
Corpo donors probably donāt care about them winning the presidency. Theyāre doing it to get their foot in the door when the primary candidates inevitably end up in office positions.
Donations from the general public? I have no fuckin idea what the reasoning there could be
I figure itās a race for second in the hope that the first place guy will get disqualified and/or imprisoned. So they try to look like the obvious replacement for the guy the base canāt have.
Or, if Trump is able to run, they want to be on his good side just in case.
