    I think that I find puzzling is when Republicans or Republican-like supporters who supposedly don't like Trump keep asking why Democrats keep bringing up Trump in threads, discussions, etc. They claim he's done and not worth bringing up over and over again.

    Yet, they never seem to question why the Republicans keep supporting him, seeking his support, and make him the most likely candidate for 2024.

    Somehow, in their minds, it's only the left that keeps Trump relevant.

    Furthermore, they are bitter Trump is banned(because he repeatedly violated the terms of agreement) from social media outlets where he would get more attention and support. Yet again, Trump would disappear if only the left stopped tailing about him.

    Apparently, supporting Trump, favoring him as presidential candidate, trying to make sure he gets more opportunities to publicly get his messages and propaganda out there, doesn't keep him relevant.

    It's only people who don't like him reacting to that support and messages that keep him relevant.

    They're scared of being fact checked and engaging in honest debate.

    The most amazing one was the woman near the end that said if Trump was guilty he'd be doing things like hiding evidence...when Jordan brings up that Trump has done this she freezes for a moment then decides "I don't care." Just literally changed her position right on the spot.

    LMAO. He's great on getting them to contradict everything they started off saying by the end.

    How about that guy who said we need to start treating women with respect, or those other two women talking about respect and wearing the nasty crude shirts they had on?

    Wait....the GOP protected and supported him after he admitted to molesting children? That speaks volumes. Why isn't he in prison?

    I could see Trump naming Tulsi Gabbard as his running mate. He would do it for a few reasons. First is that she has agreed with him on several issues. The next is that she is good looking and Trump very much values image. If it was a Biden / Harris versus Trump / Gabbard I can see Trump making comments about the looks and age of their running mates. It would be a good chance to stick it to the Democrats by having an a former Democrat. Finally it would be a good chance to stick it to establishment Republicans by having someone who wasn't a life long Republican and not really beholden to the Republican establishment. While McConnell and much of the Republican establishment might be willing to keep the devil's bargain with Trump there is obviously no love or even respect from there. While Pence was needed to balance the ticket in 2016 Trump likely feels that he doesn't owe the GOP establishment anything now.

    Why not?

    She's ambitous enough and has no love for the Democratic establishment either. She doesn't agree with Trump on everything but many of Trump's biggest sycophants, including Pence were calling Trump much worse things than I can recall Gabbard ever referring to him.
