The Republican National Committee staged its second presidential debate.
Establishment Republicans saw it as their best chance to derail Donald Trump’s path to the nomination.
And you’ll be speechless when you see what happened to Trump after the last debate.
The seven Republican candidates on stage at the Reagan Library stepped up their attacks on Donald Trump.
RINO former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis trained their sharpest barbs against Trump because Trump skipped the debate.
Christie tried to take a page from Trump’s playbook using the derisive nickname of “Donald Duck” for Trump.
DeSantis claimed Trump was “missing in action” for not attending the debate the same way Joe Biden is “missing in action” at the border.
“Where’s Joe Biden? He’s completely missing in action from leadership. And you know who else
is missing in action? Donald Trump is missing in action. He should be on this stage
tonight,” DeSantis stated.
Establishment Republicans hoped the other candidates attacking Trump in front of millions of TV viewers would begin to pry voters from Trump.
Those hopes turned out to be just as foolish as every Never Trump scheme to stop Trump dating back to 2016.
The first poll out of the gate from the debate showed an eight-point swing towards Trump as the 45th president expanded his lead over DeSantis and the rest of the field despite not attending the debate.

Georgia was also thought to be a Never Trump firewall.
Republicans in the Peach State helped Governor Brian Kemp crush a Trump-backed primary challenger by 50 points.
Georgia Republicans then re-elected Kemp to a second term while also refusing to vote for Trump-endorsed Senate candidate Herschel Walker who lost to Democrat Raphael Warnock.
The resistance in Georgia to Trump dates back to the 2020 election.
But a new poll of Georgia Republicans by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution showed Trump holding a 42-point lead over DeSantis and nearing 60 percent of the vote.

The simple fact is that the longer the race goes on the more support Trump gains.
General election polls show Trump defeating Joe Biden.
Every time polls come out showing Trump leading Biden, Democrats file another indictment against Trump.
And the more Democrats weaponize the justice system against Trump the more Republican voters rally to his side.
