rules' – but claims California's GOP
is changing procedure to 'bend' the election
for Trump

Ron DeSantis said he will follow the primary election rules, whatever they may be – but said it's clear some state GOPs are trying to sway the results against smaller candidates. The comment comes as Donald Trump still refuses to take the vow to support whichever candidate becomes the GOP nominee in order to participate in the debates. The former president, according to his own staff, also feels the debates are beneath him. Trump posted to Truth Social on Monday that he would use the debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 23 to consider vice presidential candidates.

If I had been stabbed in the back and cheated by my own party as much as President Trump had, I wouldn’t vow anything to the GOP.

I think DeSantis needs to sit down and understand what his 'advisors' are having him do. If I wanted to make sure I never became president, I'd do what he's doing. I can't believe he's this clueless. Maybe he doesn't want to be president after all. Who knows. By this point, I wouldn't vote for him - ever.

Well #'s 1, 2 & 4, if the California GOP has changed its delegate selection rules to benefit Trump then that is a fact which cannot be denied or undone with your mocking posts. So where is the fault with DeSantis here?

This is what he is kvetching about. No one has given an opinion on this "California’s Republican Party recently changed its primary election rules so that, if a candidate earns 50 percent or more of the vote, than all of the delegate votes go to them. Previously, all candidates competed in each district for the delegate's vote there. 'Clearly there's an effort with some of these state parties, you know, to bend it in one way,' DeSantis added. 'But that's not anything we can surmount, so bring it on.” Someone handed this “opinion” to him which is why he is not trying to make much of a case. Dropping it; moving on.

I think DeSantis should drop out. His challenge to Trump puts him on the same side as this creepy prosecutor and the Democrats. I can’t stop what is happening in our country but I can vote for the person they are persecuting. And so should everyone who is appalled by what is happening.

As soon as I find the section in the Constitution that provides guidelines for primary debates I will form an opinion. As of now, they appear to be nothing but informal and biased Q and A sessions conducted by the media.

President Joe Biden on Thursday said he wasn't following Donald Trump's court appearance as the former president prepares to be arraigned on four federal charges related to attempts to overthrow the 2020 election results. 'No,' Biden told CNN, during a bike ride as he continued his vacation in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, when asked if he'd follow the Trump arraignment. The president has been biking every day of his week-long respite at the seaside town where he and wife Jill own a $2 million beach home. The Bidens, in addition to cycling, have been reading on the beach and even went on a date night complete with dinner and a movie.

Hunter Biden's ex-business partner Devon Archer told Congress that Joe Biden's 'intimidating' influence directly led to his son receiving huge sums of foreign money - and a $142,300 Porsche. According to the full transcript of his testimony obtained by DailyMail.com on Thursday, Archer said that the Biden 'brand' acted as protection for Ukrainian oil company Burisma because 'people would be intimidated to mess with them.' Hunter's presence on Burisma's board and access to his father - then vice president - led to the company's 'longevity' because they had the 'capabilities to navigate D.C.,' Archer said according to the transcript.

She has spent over $45,000 on security at her home, including a fence, because of course she has. It’s also important to note that she used campaign donations to do this.

Bedminster, New Jersey — Former President Donald Trump, the leading GOP candidate for president in 2024, told Breitbart News exclusively that while he has not yet made a decision on whether or not he will attend the fast-approaching August 23 first GOP primary debate in Milwaukee, he thinks it would be “sort of foolish” and even possibly “stupid” to do so. The reason, he said, is because his significant polling lead gives him a large advantage over other candidates, but the debate moderators are from a “hostile network”—Fox News—that has overtly attempted to help failing candidates for the GOP nomination against him and those “hostile people” on stage could use

For Trump, who’s now facing his third criminal indictment — this time for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and block the transfer of presidential power — winning is about more than ego, redemption, score-settling or the future of the country. “This election may very well be about Donald Trump’s personal freedom,” said Ari Fleischer, a longtime Republican strategist. “It’s not an exaggeration to say, if convicted, he could be sentenced to prison unless he wins and

Trump strongly lobbied Pence to accept challenges to state election results and give those states time to review their elections when he presided over the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021.

The Florida Governor pushed-back on Donald Trump's attacks on his campaign – specifically claiming that he has 'set money on fire' and has 'collapsed in polling' – and says the criticism comes because he is a 'threat' to the ex-President.
