Not defending republicans, however, if you read the article, he is only running as a republican to get noticed. He stated he wouldn't caucus with them if he won, thus not getting their financing and expertise to avoid situations like the one he's currently in.

It’s a bummer that in order to avoid being downvoted to oblivion you need to qualify your post with “not defending republicans”. Like people see a D or R and make a call before bothering with facts or context.

Funny how that happens, when the Republican party goes full fascist and attempts a coup.
Tends to make sensible folks preface their comments a bit, when there's a danger of being misinterpreted as supporting white supremacists and fascists.

The very wealthy will never permit a fascist coup unless it benefits them financially, and it's hard to see how it would - the status quo is massively profitable, and implementing an authoritarian state would cost money both now and in the long run.

They also said they wouldn't support him..so it's not like he's "taking the high road" or anything.

Correction: He has stated that he will try to caucus with republicans one cycle, democrats the next. Or something like that.
