      That’s actually not true. People regularly walk out of Trump rallies early because it’s just an incoherent mess and it just keeps going for over an hour. Even the true believers aren’t that into it after a while.

      This post makes a fairly compelling and fairly chilling argument for why it might be that Trump gets such a free pass in the media for the blatant fuckups he makes and why there’s still so much scrutiny of Biden.

        Fox News will craft it into a story for republicans to consume. The few waking up are far removed from the millions that cannot think for themselves and only repeat what their media tells them.

        There were plenty of calls for Trump to not run because of January 6 far before 2024. Most of them from liberal media. The writer of the post you linked is just not correct. Nikki Haley’s entire campaign was ran on trying to beat Trump and she did manage to get around 40% of the republican vote.

        Biden is facing scrutiny now because his age is a massive hindrance. It showed clearly at the debate. I am not sure why everyone is so personally attached to him. Replacing Biden is guaranteed to boost the chances Democrats have of winning. This contrasts with Trump who RNC is not going to replace because he has their best chance of winning.
