Must poll 1% -- that's a pretty low bar.

Of course, if they required at least 10%, only Trump and DeSantis would qualify.

If they required at least 5%, one or two others might slip in. I dunno.

Most are polling under 5%

If they stab you in the back you must continue to be loyal to them.

Bwahahahahaha.

<>The first rule in the maintenance of a constitutional republic, with the end goal to eliminate corporatism in US politics, should be to outlaw the formation of any political party.<>

I recall James Madison rhetorically finding that such measures would indeed tamp down on the disputes that historically tore apart republics.

The problem was that freedom of association thing.

So, instead of outlawing factions/political parties, our Framers designed a government that minimized the horrid effects of factionalism.

Unfortunately, We the People passed the 17th Amendment which guaranteed the mess we have today.

The candidates should agree to the debate and it should be up to them to make the rules. If we see a rematch between Trump and Biden, there should be two debates. Trump wl pick Tucker Carlson as a moderator, Biden will pick Anderson Cooper.

The Democrats rigged the debates with leftist journalists for decades.

Now it is our turn—no leftist journalists allowed on stage for five decades.

Starting with Joe Biden, we are not going to see a debate for a while. Joe will never agree to the conditions so he'll decline to debate. Future Democratic politicians will follow his lead.

Who needs debates? All you need to do is own the computers, own the postal union, own the RINO’s, own the ballots, own the media, own the corporations…….

Donald...tell the RNC to stuff it. You won’t lose one voter.

(Now, if you go back on the Shannity Show...that promise might not hold.)

The “loyalty pledge” is BS. Who knows who might enter the race? Holding someone to a pledge when they have no real idea of the outcome is just wrong.

Drop the loyalty pledge.

Trump should tell the RNC to F off. 1% support is nothing more than a clown show and Trump supporters won’t back off.

Without Trump, the Republican party is dead on the floor. Just like it was prior to Trump coming down the escalator.

Most of the Judas RINOs are polling in at 1% ... should make it at least 5%.
