You talk about Trump like he's a ghost of some distant past. Of course, he's not. Is currently being a Trumpster a baseline litmus test? For many, yes. Only from there, can the policy issues discussions begin. However, some (most) "republicans" visiwill try to have it both ways. Will Trump endorse Fung? Will Fung seek Trump's endorsement? Or more likely run from it. He has a tough dance which could be almost a comedy to watch.
You didn't actually say anything. The only "dance" that matters is the one around the critical issues facing us as Americans, and if you find anything whasover comedic about the candidates discussing their positions in earnest, then you're one of the very few. The fact that the Borg Liberals have no other obvious viewpoint than "Trump is bad", doesn't bode well for the midterms.

Nor does it reflect reality, no matter how incessantly the media constantly tries to drown that reality out.
Quote:
For all the hysteria over Trump’s divisive tweets, the truth is that Trump is the only unifying figure in modern political history: He persuaded millions of people who had never voted for any Republican, indeed for any president, to vote for him. During his first term, he increased his share of the vote with every segment of the population, except college-educated whites. No Republican since Reagan received such broad support from so many groups. And he won their support not by pandering to their sub-category interests or to the things that set them apart, but by appealing to them as Americans.
Welcome to tonight's debate candidates and thank you for being here. Mr. Fung, I'd like to start with you. I'd like to know your views on the economy, inflation, recession, monetary policy, crime, gun violence, education, unemployment, taxes, covid, infrastructure, defense, China, Russia and Ukraine. But first, a Rhode Islander would like an answer to a question that he finds more important than any of these extraneous issues. He's written in to us and wants to know first and foremost, if you're something called a "Trumper"?

That would be Borg Progressive to you & yes, Trump is real bad.
Shouldn't we be gradually shifting the focus to actual candidates? And then gradually beyond that, their actual positions on today's vital issues. Isn't this how we used to conduct the election process? Pre-Borg?

Yes, we should. And, a local republican candidate's position on the elephant in every republican's room, should be part of that. It's an issue. As a matter of fact, I'm reading today, in one of the lib rags, talk is that it's looking like Trump could be announcing his 2024 candidacy, as early as this month. If so, there'll be nowhere for Fung (and many others) to hide. Hence, taking to the dance floor much earlier than he'd like.

That rumor originated with none other than Roger Stone. (He claims Trump will announce on July 4th.)
Which means, while possible, it should be viewed with skepticism.

Perhaps. Roger Stone's always been an odd one. Here's hoping it's true. There are far more electable Trumpsters out there than Trump. A mini-he from Florida comes to mind.

A candidate's opinion of a private citizen who may or may not run for political office is an issue. Yes. For you, admittedly, it takes precedence over every other issue. Question number one. For me, in my evaluation of a candidate's fitness for office, maybe.... around.......number 27?........26? Who makes more sense? Honestly now?

And when Fung responds to your question number one that he'll make his decisions based on the best interest of those he represents? Do you have a strategy beyond that? Or simply total collapse? You might wanna think ahead.
