The first debate for the 2024 Republican nomination for president is in the can. And it lived down to most of the expectations that people had for the roster of groveling also-rans who were mostly too scared and weak to challenge the party’s frontrunner, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The debate began inauspiciously with a probing question about the government’s coverup of UFOs. Thank goodness Fox News has the courage to broach the issues that are uppermost in the minds of the American people. And from there the affair descended into whiny squabbles and attempts by the participants to ingratiate themselves to the most notorious non-participant.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most notable moment in the two hour snoozer was when the moderators sought to interject some Trumpiness into the discussion. They did this with a tangential reference to Trump’s legal tribulations. While it was encouraging that they raised the subject at all, they did so in manner that didn’t promote discussion of Trump’s crimes, but merely the other candidates’ political reactions to them.<\/p>\n

Bret Baier:<\/strong> We’re all going to take a brief moment and talk about the elephant not in the room.
\nMartha MacCallum:<\/strong> Former president Trump was indicted in four different states on 91 counts. He will be processed tomorrow in Georgia at the Fulton County jail for charges related to the 2020 election.
\nBaier:<\/strong> You all signed a pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee. If former President Trump is convicted in a court of law, would you still support him as your party’s choice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the pro-criminal GOP.<\/p>\n

Everyone except Christie and Hutchinson said they would support Trump for President.<\/p>\n

And to be clear, the question wasn't would they support him if he's the nominee, but would they support him if he's convicted by a jury of crimes against America? https:\/\/t.co\/Srx1w1VBC5<\/a><\/p>\n
