fall away, trump for legal reasons, DeSantis for woke not playing anywhere but Florida, Haley because nobody cares, Scott because he's no Obama...and Hutchinson is no foaming at the mouth magat.

Repugs won't win though whatever BECAUSE THEY'VE SNATCHED RIGHTS AWAY FROM WOMEN, HALF THE VOTERS IN THE NATION.

And in red states they keep doubling down on it with outrageous 6-week abortion bans. Talk about cutting their own throats.

Trump gets the herd stampeding by pandering to the fears of the frustrated and the Republican office holders know that they will not only get yelled at in airports but have to live among heavily armed nutjobs.

You don't know the fear, the absolute horror that evokes in the teeny, tiny, shriveled little Republican heart. Oh, to be called a man insulting name by Donald J. Trump! Might as well just curl up and die on the spot.

I have no doubt Trump has dirt on Tim Scott, too, just as he does fellow SC Senator Lindsey Graham. Maybe not as much, but almost certainly damaging in some way. A portion of those classified documents he stole are likely documents that incriminate his fellow Republicans, and they know it. Which is part of the reason they're still defending that disgusting fuck, or in Scott's case, not openly criticizing him.
