Because why pretend it’s a real primary? 🤦

    Well, they weren’t going to win that state anyway. If a swing or red state followed, you wouldn’t see this kind of response.

    No matter how hard he ponders, Trumps base still isn’t going to go for a guy who isn’t white.

      It’s funny because it falls under the category of “shooting yourself in the foot”

      It’s kinda funny because there is no point in him being on any Republican ballots in the first point. He’s sucking up to a bunch of racist voters who are never going to elect a POC, no matter how many fanciest promises he makes.

      This would be similar me pulling out of the Tour de France because the leader was kicked out for doping. But I was competing on a Pennyfarthing.

        Just because you disagree with him doesn’t give you the right to kick him out. I’m not the biggest fan but it really does scare me to see candidates removed from a ballot. You may think this is fine or even necessary but no one will be laughing when there is only one box on the ballot.

          We’re talking about Vivek here. He wasn’t kicked out, he withdrew.

          The insurrectionist wannabe dictator doesn’t deserve a second chance. He fucked around, needs to find out, and the 14th amendment is there to do that.

    Does this mean we’ll get Grandpa Joe by default?

      Nah, to the right of Reagan as he is, he’s still not a part of the Republican primaries lol
