Especially not Vivek, the guy who wants to reduce Government by 3/4 and destroy the FBI.

I'll vote Trump if he gets that far, assuming he cuts it out with Vivek. But if he continues to go scorched earth on him, I'll Drop Trump like a bad habit.

Thr reason Trump did this is because polls showed that Vivek was surging at his expense. And the reason Vivek is surging is because he would actually be a better president than Trump. And we have to save our country.

How about the guy that was the MAGA rockstar who won a historical victory in FL and led the fight against the fed government during COVID, and is the most conservative governor in our union with proven victories across the board?

We can’t allow Trump to destroy him either.

Where were y’all all this time?

We can’t allow Trump to destroy every GOP competitor, but every GOP competitor trying to destroy Trump is ok.

Got it.

I’ll vote for whomever is the GOP nominee at this point (something I haven’t always done) because we need the Biden-Harris-Granholm cartel out of the White House.

But you do start to wonder amongst the GOP contenders who is focused on building enough support to take out the current Administration in the General Election, and who is more focused on being an attention whore for donations and self-affirmation.

If they're worth a damn they'll recover.
Let them fight.

It's self defeating. Trump is losing votes with this bull shite. Now he is attacking someone more MAGA than he is.

MAGA really did start in 1776.

Fair or not to him, in this age of Idiocracy where InstaGram clips and soundbites dominate political discourse, DeSantis has unfortunately flopped this go-round. It sucks, but it’s reality.

At the end of the day many here believe the GOP should become the TOP (Trump’s Own Party).

There’s no room for anyone else.

Trump: I know I failed you! But I’m a victim being attacked. Let me try again!

Vivek: I know I was a Big Pharma Democrat two years ago but please! Get my name out there! Don’t you love what I say?

DeSantis: I delivered on everything our party demanded of America First public servants. I’ve been a patriot conservative my entire life and have never wavered. Put me in so I can take out Biden.

That's my guess. The internals must be showing that Vivek is very effective and starting to bleed out Trump's base.
His appeal is closest to Trump but in a more efficient and effective package.

This is politics. It’s a blood sport not a church social. Do not want or need a cheap suit politician trying to nice guy his way into the WH with canned jabs that have been focused grouped for months.

Now? Where the frick have y’all been?!

This started in 2022 against DeSantis. We’ve been telling y’all for a full year now why Trump can’t be allowed to rip the party in half and here y’all are a day before the primary kicks off clutching your pearls. Vivek encouraged the destruction of DeSantis by Trump.

This isn’t a social tea, it’s a primary. Every candidate is attacking who they need to in order to become the national candidate. I’m not voting for anyone who can’t take the heat of this because they will only be attacked harder if they become president. To think any GOP president wouldn’t get the Trump treatment from the left or the media is naive to the point of sheer ignorance.

I’m still presuming Trump to be the GOP nominee and I’ll still be voting for him in the General.

That said, I don’t ever recall a candidate and his team going scorched earth against the very people and their supporters who might otherwise agree with him on 80-90% or more of issues.

I’m not sure if the hard core, bomb-throwing loving MAGA core base has ever been familiar with the term “pyrrhic victory” and hopefully they don’t learn about it the hard way come next November.

Then we’re probably already fricked. Half the base would rather own somebody on social media than implement sound policy.
