Well that’s an assumption that Haley will prevail over Trump, win the Republican nomination and be set to face off Biden or the Democratic nominee, for CNN to turn on her and side with the Democrat candidate over Haley.

Let’s step back. Trump won’t debate. If CNN is too woke for DeSantis, he can skip it but he won’t. I will just be another debate with candidates fighting and talking over each other, and Trump still leading without being present.

Well, it makes sense. Republican party is really mostly Democrats pretending to be Republicans.

Just cancel them, there is no point, Trump is winning by a mile. Desantis has tanked, Haley's "Rise" has amounted to polling at less than 10%, and the Rest including the Internet Podcaster Favorite Vivek are polling at the margin of error for most polls.

There is no point to these debates other than to kiss Trump but in the case of Vivek, Pretend he does not exist like Haley, or throw mud at the front-runner Cristie.

BTW podcasters like Vivek because he will do their show and bring viewers regardless of how small their podcast is, does not seem to translate to support for him though. Most of those podcasters on the Right are voting Trump and since Vivek never says anything negative about Trump, he is a safe guest for their viewers and show.

Vivek 4.4% I suppose you might think that is great since he was in the 2% range before.

Not sure why CNN is wasting their time on him.
