I’m guessing “never”.

Can’t wait to hear him after he loses. He’ll be crying and whining that the packets show that he really won. Maybe he’ll sue the GOP.

I’ll be curious to see Mitt’s reaction if Mr. Pillow starts going after her. He’s a Trump satellite after all and Mitt’s a loyal Pubbie.

Mr. Pillow’s cult (the WackdoodlesⒸ) and Mitten’s Republican party are two different entities.

You missed that [Trump just had dinner with Ye and Nick Fuentes](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-hosts-kanye-west-nick-fuentes-mar-lago/story?id=93965361). Ye has announced he is running for President, and wants Trump as his Veep, so I can believe he got yelled at.

Individual 1 has endorsed the MyPillow guy for chair of the Republican Party over the woman who literally gave up her maiden name to please him.

Trump is one off those people who talk about loyalty only as something they get, never as something they give.

Whoa! I just had a flashback to 1970: “America, love it or leave it.”

Some of those people under 30 are combat veterans. I think they’d be pretty perturbed to hear they hadn’t “earned the right” to be citizens and vote.
