And, so, the clown show will soon begin without the head clown..........

 You know by now that former president Donald Trump has decided he won't participate in any debate, including the opener tomorrow in Milwaukee. The reason? The Oldest Baby in America doesn't want to sign a clause stating that he would support the GOP nominee if it's someone other than himself. What a surprise.

"NO! NO! NO! I am the nominee! I won't sign! I don't need you!"

Instead, the Archduke of Affluenza will sit for an interview on social media, previously recorded, with Tucker Carlson. Otherwise, Citizen Pampers will be in New Jersey, while other candidates, including former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, will be on stage in Milwaukee. Christie & Hutchinson in particular have accused Trump of being scared. We saw three years ago that Trump is not a good debater, despite what his brainwashed acolytes say to the contrary.

There will be a contingent flying in to support the Tangerine Turncoat, including Kryin' Kari Lake, Empty-G, and Rusty Gaetz. However, they're not getting free passes from Fox News, which will air the event live, moderated by Martha McCallum & Bret Baier. Dumb Donald II has also indicated he would stand for his father. Without Trump and his non-stop denials & lies about 2020 and his indictments, it should be fairly easy for the rest of the field to establish themselves on the national stage.

Citizen Pampers' message to the GOP is this. Most, but not all, polls have him comfortably in front in the GOP race, and he doesn't need to be there, which goes against his obsessive need for the spotlight. He won't sign the loyalty pledge, because he believes the nomination is already sewn up, a year before the convention. That can change, especially if he can't wiggle his way out of legal trouble, but try telling that to a guy who is allergic to truth.
