Stuart Stevens Nails It With The GOP Cowards Refusing To Take On Trump

Former GOP strategist and Lincoln Project adviser Stuart Stevens nailed it when he told CNN's Jim Acosta precisely what's wrong with the Republicans lined up who are supposed to be campaigning against Donald Trump. Acosta noted that the non-Trump candidates are "not really going after him in any sort of normal conventional way that we've seen in campaigns past," and Stevens agreed. And some of what Stevens had to say was depressing.

"What's going on here is that Donald Trump is giving the republican party what it wants, and this ultimately isn't about Donald Trump; it's about the party," Stevens said. "And there really is not a market for a non-Trump candidate. Chris Christie went out and proved that. Asa Hutchinson is still proving it. The party wants to be where Trump is."

"I can't imagine working for a candidate in a race, running against somebody that has 91 counts against them, and you don't even bring it up in a debate?" he continued. How sad and pathetic is that? It just shows you're really not interested in winning."

Biden will be the nominee.

"A lot of this is going to be about '28, who's going to be after Trump because Trump is going to be the Republican nominee," Stevens said. "I think Joe Biden is going to win this thing. I think Biden is going to win it more comfortably than he did last time, but this is just a terrible indictment to me, and I think a lot of us who used to work in the party of the depth the party has fallen to that it's embracing Trump with this kind of intensity."
