GOP Debate: Six Of Eight Candidates Indicate They Would Still Support Donald Trump Even If He Is Convicted. The party of “law and order,” has 6 candidates for the republican POTUS nomination who will support a convicted felon for President. Let’s not forget, those who will support him are the ones that helped to put him in the White House the first time and were enablers of the January 6th attempted coup. This is the best the republicans have, how terribly, terribly sad.
