You know, it doesn\u2019t really matter to me whether Donald J. Trump will be on a Republican Party primary presidential debate stage with the other guys who want to knock him off.<\/p>\n

Truth is, I don\u2019t give a royal rat\u2019s rear end about Trump, or today\u2019s version of the GOP. However, his reported absence from the upcoming debate stage does pose a question or two for me, which I would like to speak to briefly. So \u2026 I will.<\/p>\n

Some of the GOP frontrunner\u2019s foes are taking aim at him. Mike Pence, Chris Christie, Asa Hutchinson all have spoken critically of him, his conduct, his lack of \u201cvision\u201d for the future.<\/p>\n

I want someone to ask Trump this question: What in the world do you have in the way of agenda for the next four years and beyond? This individual has none. He doesn\u2019t speak to the future. Instead, he chooses to relitigate the 2020 election \u2026 which he lost to President Biden!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not be coy, either, about the indictments. He\u2019s got four of them stacked up, waiting for trials. The feds have indicted him twice; two states, New York and Georgia, have indicted twice as well.<\/p>\n

Trump can spare us all the BS about \u201cnot wanting to elevate\u201d the others\u2019 standing. The truth is he has no solutions. He cannot speak coherently about the future. He vows to be his fans\u2019 \u201cretribution.\u201d<\/p>\n

He is the frontrunner among the MAGA morons who dominate the GOP. And why is that? Because his \u201cbase\u201d is too damn ignorant and gullible to realize how seriously damaged he has become and how much damage he brings to a once-great political party.<\/p>\n

OK, I fibbed about not giving a \u201crat\u2019s rear end\u201d about Trump. Of course, I do, which is evident in the frequency of my writing about him. I care about Trump\u2019s future only because I love my country and I do not want it sucked down the toilet drain of Donald Trump\u2019s so-called \u201cideology.\u201d<\/p>\n

As to whether he belongs on the stage with the other GOP presidential candidates \u2026 sure he does, but only because he needs to be held accountable politically for the nonsense he continues to barf onto the public stage.<\/p>\n\n
