Friend, This week’s GOP primary debate only proved one thing to the American public: that the race to the bottom regarding who can prove themselves to be “the new Trump” continues at a staggering pace. Noticeably absent again was the former president who, in an attempt to win over voters in Michigan, chose instead to visit a nonunionized auto part supplier near Detroit. While the seven other leading candidates took to the stage, trading insults and criticizing the autoworker union’s attempts to negotiate a fair living wage for their workers, they clamored for the spotlight in a desperate attempt to climb up in the polls. As Trump continues to enjoy a commanding lead in the polls among the GOP base – with a comfortable 40% lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – it remains to be seen who, if anyone, will be able to knock him off his pedestal. But no matter who ends up with the GOP nomination it would surely result in a disastrous four years of right-wing authoritarianism that would further weaken and erode our fundamental rights and freedoms. Thanks as always for your feedback and support. – Zach, People For the American Way
