It is that characteristic that explains how Republicans can buy into the nonsense pouring out daily from Donald Trump about everything from his “Big Lie”<\/em> that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen”<\/em> from, to his own alleged mental competency…<\/p>\n RELATED: LOL: Trump Says All Presidential Candidates (Except Himself) Should Take Mental Competency Tests<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n On Sunday morning the chair of the Republican National Committee provided an outstanding example of her party’s crippling gullibility. During an interview on CNN, Ronna McDaniel was asked by Dana Bash about the upcoming Republican primaries for the 2024 presidential nomination.

\nMcDaniel:<\/strong> We haven’t put the criteria out, but I expect the pledge will be part of it. It was part of 2016. I think it’s kind of a no-brainer. If you’re gonna be on the Republican National Committee debate stage asking voters to support you, you should say “I’m gonna support the voters and who they choose as the nominee.”
\nBash:<\/strong> I want you to listen to what former president Donald Trump said a couple of weeks ago with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on this very topic:
\nHewitt:<\/strong> If you’re not the nominee, will you support whoever the GOP nominee is?
\nTrump:<\/strong> It would depend. I would give you the same answer I gave in 2016… It would have to depend on who the nominee was.
\nBash:<\/strong> So are you prepared to block the former president if he doesn’t sign?
\nMcDaniel:<\/strong> Well, he signed it in 2016. He did. Everybody signed it in 2016. […]
\nBash:<\/strong> But this is about the here and the now.
\nMcDaniel:<\/strong> I think they’re all going to sign it. I really do. […]
\nBash:<\/strong> You can’t see a scenario where Donald Trump would just skip the debate?
\nMcDaniel:<\/strong> I think President Trump would like to be on the debate stage. That’s what he likes to do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
