Honestly, it doesn’t matter at this point. The debates are only useful for sound bites and headlines.
The other Republicans have no actual shot at winning; 82% still want Trump and don’t care about the Hitler larping or whether he’s a convicted criminal, a rapist, a fraudster, etc. He’s their guy, the monster they always wanted who will exact vengeance upon their always-nebulous “enemy” for a litany of misdirected and mostly-fictitious transgressions.
Even if people watched the debate, Trump will just ramble on incoherently as Haley tries in vain to get out talking points and the whole thing will be absolute nonsensical babble.
Back when there were four TV channels debates made sense. It allowed candidates to respond in real time to each other, and to address the American people directly.
But thanks to social media they can respond to each other in real time right now, or let everyone know they’re chillin’ in Cedar Rapids without needing to appear on prime time.
tl;dr - Unless the League of Women Voters is running the debate I honestly don’t care about them.
I think you underestimate some of those things. People know about the stuff you listed and they still want him.
Keep in mind I’m not saying this to be pro Democrat or Biden.
What I’ve learned in school growing up in NH is that everything I was taught about the world being a secure good place was a lie. From what I’ve seen, a lot of people stay naive to reality. I went my own way and have seen a ton of fucked up shit in my life. Meanwhile there’s people just taking the narrow life path acting as if evil isn’t just as equal in amount to the good in life. A lot of the adult I knew as a kid… Aren’t the image that they portrayed. A lot of people just fake their social life. It’s really surreal and bizarre here.
If you see reality for what it is… Life sucks. I wish I could have just been one of those average narrow-pathed people.
Not trying to say that in an offensive way or to one up you or whatever…

But…that’s what they said
You could have saved so much typing by ranting about red pills and blue pills.
I’m grew up in NH too. He’s right, it’s weirdly sheltered place.
-
There are almost no black people, so people here don’t think they’re racist, but it’s largely because they have few opportunities to be.
-
They think Manchester, NH is a big scary city. Where you need to carry a gun or you’ll be killed by a homeless drifter.
-
There are surprisingly few pan handlers besides at tourist spots in the summer and along the MA border.
-
You still don’t have to wear a seatbelt or even insure your car. Because they think everyone will do the right thing in an accident. Unless you’re in Manchester (or maybe Nashua).
-
it has a numb nut Republican governor, but all Democrat federal representation.
It’s a weird ass place if you’ve lived here long enough to experience it. I blame the radon (which decays to lead btw) and arsenic in the drinking water.

I mean, it’s not zero, Trump could have a heart attack or something tomorrow and it wouldn’t surprise me that much.
Same goes for Biden, too, not sure VP Harris would make a compelling canidate. Maybe I’m wrong.
Who will they nominate if the Supreme Court decides he’s ineligible to run?
They won’t. The SC has no obligation to rule fairly or impartially, or ethically.
unfortunately trump wins either this selection or the next guaranteed. he packed the SUPREME court he can appeal ANY ruling to that court.
Also the Democrats will run Hillary or Kamala so they can loose in 2028 for financials
I bet it would be Nikki Haley. Vivek is annoying and not a Christian, and Ron is really weird and only liked in Florida.
And despite being just as unhinged and authoritarian as her comrades, she has some appeal among the moderates.
