My take is different.
The Republican wing of the Uniparty is trying to fill up the debate stage with tomato cans.
Tomato can is a boxing term used to identify those who are non-competitive opponents.
I would advise Trump not to debate anyone on any stage provided by any broadcast network or any of the three so-called cable news networks.
Filling the debate stage with tomato cans has its advantages for the Uniparty.
Trump would win a one on one debate with Ron even if the moderator is in the tank for the Uniparty.
But more candidates means less time for both Trump and Ron which is probably good for Ron because expect him to be programmed much like Little Marco was programmed in the New Hampshire primary when Krispy Kreme Christy sent him into the blue screen of death and effectively ended his candidacy.
The Uniparty doesn’t believe in free and fair elections.
They want to stage show elections as they tried to do when they thought they had it in the bag with getting Jeb the nomination.
Filling up the stage with tomato cans is just for show.
Serious question: Trump supporters insult traditional Republicans. Trump supporters don’t seem to want Trump interacting with Traditional Republican Candidates. They seem to despise the Republican Party politics and politicians.
Why is Trump a Republican? With all of his support outside the Traditional Republican Party…why does he bother with them?
