since many of their supporters can't spell well enough to write in Trump or Ramaswamy.

For any MAGA patriots reading this and would like to write in Trump's name. It's spelled " B I D E N".

Trump can't particupate in the debates because he would get absolutely washed by the other candidates, so he contrived to have this shitheel stand in his place. He now does so in these other contexts as well.

If I was running against someone more popular than me a primary, and that person wasn't on the ballot for whatever reason, I'd be inclined to stay on the ballot and get more votes. That is - after all - the goal of running for elected office: getting more votes.

If I had given money to a candidate or campaign and they did this, I'd ask for my money back.

The only rationale for this is to hobble his own candidacy and martyr himself in service to the Orange Fuhrer.
