The first presidential debate on the Republican side will be in August in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the Republican National Convention will also be held next year. Candidates who refuse to support Donald Trump if he’s the nominee will not be allowed to participate, because RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel just required a loyalty pledge by all debate participants.
That rules out Paul Ryan and anyone like him from being relevant. Ryan declared that he will not attend the Republican National Convention next year if Trump is the nominee, similar to how Ohio Gov. John Kasich refused to attend the convention in his home state where Trump was nominated in 2016. Trump then ignored Kasich, who became irrelevant, and Trump single-handedly turned Ohio solidly Republican. Ryan and other Never-Trumpers face a similar exile for grandstanding now against the presumptive Republican nominee Trump.
Trump is constantly hounded by the sock puppets of globalism, and rather than criticizing Trump they should be working to grow the Republican Party in the pivotal swing states. Ryan should have worked harder to hold onto the GOP majority in the House in 2018 and help win Wisconsin in 2020, when instead Ryan quit at a young age and carps against Trump now.
If the foremost enemy of We the People is globalism, then Donald Trump is a formidable champion to fight on our behalf. His bona fides of fighting against globalism remain unquestioned by both his friends and his enemies. Those that used his political inexperience as a reason to abstain in 2016 can no longer cling to that lame excuse. However, the impetus still remains on grassroots activists to get the word out. The globalists may be able to put up billboards and Facebook ads, but they cannot artificially reproduce the energy of an effective grassroots army.
If you have never dipped your toes in the water of political activism, now is the time to dive in. More opportunities exist for eager volunteers than ever before. Make plans now for how you will do your part to ensure that We the People, not They the Globalists, pick the next president of the United States.
