      Well, you see, Rick, the Republican party has been dead and rotting in the field for quite a few years now, and was already on its death bed even before Trump came along, which is why it attracted so many filthy flies to it (such as the one that landed on Pence's head during the 2020 vice presidential debate).
      And of course, as we all know, flies lay eggs in rotting corpses which then hatch out into filthy, disgusting MAGAts which then eat their way through and consume the corpse.

    I liked what Mr. Wilson said at the end, i.e., that other GOP candidates should say now that they will not support or even vote for Trump if he is the nominee. But I am irate that it seems to be fine with him that so much dark money is still looking for someone, with the criterion being viability, not quality. What DeSantis has done with stunts around people seeking asylum, and to education and other things in FL, should disqualify him. But no, he was fine until his numbers cratered.

      The GOP candidates should also promise not to pardon Trump.

    Don't forget the famous line of the deplorable you see on the right at 0:13. "Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They're still married."

      I doubt that. Conservatism as a whole is dying out. The younger generations are less conservative, less religious, less right wing in general. I think in 30 years conservatism will be a thing of the past, as it should be.

    The question is now becoming: what happens if Trump is blocked from several (or more) of the 50 states’s election ballots?
    This can affect electoral vote outcomes in a number of states.

    I was a registered Republican from 1972 to Jan 7, 2021. I won't consider voting for another Republican candidate until Trump and MAGA are way in the rear view mirror. In any case, I won't align myself with any political party, ever again.
