    It will be interesting to see how all these idiots think they can out MAGA each other when the core tenant of MAGA fascism is blind loyalty to Trump. They all want the presidency, so they’re going to have to convince the MAGA cult that they’re somehow better than the cult leader. But they have to do so in a way that doesn’t seem like they’re going against the cult leader.

      They’re relying on the courts to make Trump ineligible, all while calling the courts corrupt by doing so.

      “The Deep State is going to make it impossible for Donald Trump to be President again. There are already RINOs in the Federalist Society who are pushing to make him ineligible. I am the only one on this stage who can push the Trump agenda now that he has been sidelined.”

      Pledging to pardon Trump and “get him back in the Oval Office” would be a pretty solid campaign promise for someone with that angle.

    “The 2024 Republicans are focusing on litigating the benefits of slavery, which books they want to ban from schools, and a made-up war on ‘woke’ that they themselves can’t even define,” the memo said. “That’s a race for the MAGA base, not a pathway to winning a general election in 2024.”

    The campaign expects the candidates to try to “out-MAGA each other” on the debate stage Wednesday night in Milwaukee, according to the memo.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The Biden campaign plans to highlight what it’s calling an “extreme MAGA blueprint” by GOP candidates during the first Republican presidential debate, according to a memo first shared with NBC News.

    The memo, written by campaign communications director Michael Tyler, lays out five criticisms of the GOP field, including Republicans’ views on cutting Social Security and Medicare, lowering taxes for the rich, banning abortion, protecting the gun lobby and undermining democracy, which focuses on election deniers.

    “The 2024 Republicans are focusing on litigating the benefits of slavery, which books they want to ban from schools, and a made-up war on ‘woke’ that they themselves can’t even define,” the memo said.

    Nine GOP presidential candidates, including Trump, appear to have met the Republican National Committee’s fundraising and polling requirements to qualify for the debate.

    The Biden campaign memo refers to candidates’ views on abortion as “wildly unpopular, extreme, and out of step with the American people as it is harmful.”

    Trump has touted that he “killed” Roe v. Wade," but an NBC News poll from June found that 61% of registered voters disapprove of the Supreme Court’s decision that overturned the landmark ruling last year.

    The original article contains 405 words, the summary contains 194 words. Saved 52%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    I should get a job in journalism. It seems all that’s required to get published is to state obvious crap.
