Trump’s absence from the first Republican primary debate sets the stage for a two-hour brawl on Wednesday night between the remaining candidates — one that political operatives say could strengthen the hand of the former president, as the alternatives turn on each other rather than attack the frontrunner. It also tees up a possible split-screen scenario, where Republican hopefuls tiptoe around criticising the former president while he attacks them in a separate broadcast interview or public appearance.
I've heard him described as Trump 2.0.Someone is really pushing hard the Vivek guy. This scale of attention doesn't happen on it's own.

He strikes me as a real psycho (as in - zero moral compass whatsoever). In this sense, wealthy corporate backers would find him appealing. He'd lower taxes on the rich, turf environmental laws, turf labor protection regulations, etc. etc. He has already said he would end all support to Ukraine if elected. Although I could see him reversing course here if his backers are from the military industrial complex. Big money in the war business. He's a religious wacko too, so the fundamentalist crowd might also be backing him.
I find it somewhat amusing, in a tragic way, that the two leading alternatives to Trump are the worst of the worst, DeSantis and Ramaswamy.
Between this Republican clown show and the hapless Biden/Harris ticket, on wonders where has everyone's common sense gone?
Don't forget endorsing a traitor and potentially convicted criminal... mainly to grovel over scraps of votes.No plan for the environment. Nothing but flash in the pan talking points and culture war bullshit. Talk about DOA.
