Victor Davis Hanson said Wednesday on FNC's "The Ingraham Angle" that Republicans need to unite behind former President Trump:
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: I think if this debate degenerates into a melodrama or psycho-drama between Mike Pence and Ramaswamy and Chris Christie and you don't have the leading candidates, the leading opposition to Trump, it will be a futile effort.
These candidates have to show solidarity with a MAGA agenda and they have to distinguish themselves, obviously, as candidates from Trump. And there is not a lot of ways to do it except the only thing I can think of is they have to make the argument

I would agree, and believe that person should be Trump since he knows the job already, has likely learned a lot on who to hire, trust, etc..
Imagine if they all banded together, against the Democrats, fought for an expanded House Majority, a Senate majority too instead of taking shots at each other that only helps the Democrats.
Can any one of them consider how they would have been able to handle all of the accusations and allegations since June 2015?
In fact, many assumed the Russia story was true in the beginning and doubted the President (again helping the Democrats).
And, ask why so many on the world stage feel they need to stop Trump?
What do they have planned for everyone?
I'm assuming it's not something most will like very much, and once it's implemented won't easily be reversed either.

I agree: Trump.
We cannot normalize their lawfare coup by acquiescing to their demands regarding Trump.
Plus his pro middle class America policies are the only viable path forward and his execution of those policies was great. His revealing of The Establishment cockroaches in the walls had to come, ugly as it is.
Don’t confuse their reaction to being revealed with deficiencies on Trump’s part. I’m very disappointed with the other candidates for trying to normalize the Dims’ schemes.

We already know the answer - Donald J Trump. There are several articles enumerating eight or ten reasons why. But the most important one is this -there is simply no other viable alternative now or in the near future.

Let them go the way of the Whigs. Get rid of the Ryan rinos and the out and deviants like McConnell and Lindsay, who are propping up that excessively useless league of minority legislators. They’re all afraid of showing their shadow and offending minor league MSM giants, who are merely parasites that crawl out of the dark when the lights come on.

I think voters have united around a candidate. Check the polls, and stop the nonsense about Republicans need to unite.

Way too many "republicans" are more concerned that they be "liked" and included in the DC social circles than anything else. It's been just one big club for decades.
To break from the crowd and stand up for Trump...and the USA at the same time would not be "cool."
Talk show hosts and liberal opinion writers (are there any other kind?) would say unkind things about them!

Dr DH nails it. You can run against the other debators, but not against President Trump. Every person on that stage should gang on Chrispie, bc he is actually supporting the persecution of our last elected President.
This election will determine whether anyone on Earth can run against the US govt and not have his life destroyed. Unless they get that, and unless they convey that understanding, their candidacy is of zero value and in any case doomed To destruction by that very same govt.

As long as candidates have control of political contributions to their “effort”, and those donations continue, they will not stop. After all, politics is where the money is.

The RNC debate the other night reminded me of a circular firing squad. I think the RNC is incapable of uniting around one candidate.
