After refusing to participate in the first two Republican debates, former President Donald J. Trump and aides to his campaign have spent the past week arguing that there should be no more. The Republican National Committee, they say, should treat the race for the party’s nomination as over, given Mr. Trump’s large lead in the polls. The New York Times spoke with 16 members of the R.N.C., including Ms. Bergeron and Mr. Kinne. Only one of the members supported Mr. Trump’s suggestion — and reluctantly.

The other R.N.C. members who spoke with The Times dismissed the idea, with varying degrees of frustration. Paul Dame, the chairman of the Vermont Republican Party, who had urged Republicans to move on from Mr. Trump, said the suggestion was “a slap in the face of voters.” - New York Times 10/6/23

So who's party is it? The RNC's party or Donald Trump's party. Do these comments from the RNC reflect the attitudes of asshole Republican voters? According to the polling, they do not.

Rhetorical question?
I think the Republican National Command is hedging their bets in case prisoner number P01135809 is not able to run.
