One defense of Trump you'll never hear-- not from his most fervent supporters, not over any scandal-- is "he's not the type of person who would do that."

You are one member of a larger coalition. That coalition has a process through which it decides who will lead it. “If you don’t decide to support my guy, I will leave the coalition” is behavior that will destroy the coalition, weaken yourself, and ultimately lead to worse outcomes than participating
Hey maybe the dems should learn a lesson and not run "moderate" Dems who are actually just republicans
The reason people are concerned about lefties saying “I won’t vote for a moderate Dem” isn’t because they want Newsom. It’s because lefties keep not voting for moderate Dems!
I think all the scolding about it being years til the primary would hit a little harder if WE DIDN’T JUST GO THROUGH THIS

DOJ justified the Fulton County election raid with an FBI affidavit sourced to a Trump-aligned election denier who pushed to overturn 2020, spoke with Trump on Jan 6, and now runs “Election Security.” That is what DOJ presented as felony election fraud.

Not so long ago, it was common to see "Irish need not apply" in job listings in the United States. You know, the same type of pernicious prejudice that Elon exhibits regularly.
