Deep dives
Republican primary candidates focus on defending Trump rather than beating him
The podcast discusses how Republican primary candidates seem more focused on defending Donald Trump than on trying to defeat him in the primaries. A leaked debate memo from Rhonda Santas reveals the strategy to attack Joe Biden in the media, emphasize Santas' positive vision, and defend Trump against a Chris Christie attack. The host comments on the weakness and capitulation evident in this memo, as well as the paradox of defending a candidate who is their only obstacle to securing the Republican nomination. The podcast also highlights Trump's reluctance to show up at the debate, despite his opponents' unwavering support, and suggests that none of the candidates running against Trump have a realistic chance of beating him due to their ongoing defense of him.
