Well, obviously. Look at R polling. Trump is the clear incumbent and he’s not even on it. The clowns on the TV can pretend that they’re holier than him for showing up, but they’re irrelevant. And the D’s don’t give a shit, they’re preparing for the inevitable: running against Trump.
A few years ago, when the D candidate field was packed full to the brim, emulating the hilarious R landscape 4 years before, I thought american politics couldn’t be more of a circus. This Republican field of nobody’s with no chance going through the motions pretending there’s legitimacy in the TV media charade is even worse. At this point it’s not funny, it’s just sad, there’s not even entertainment value in watching it anymore.
