      Do you think the GOP has a candidate with enough backbone to actually challenge Trump? Christie is the only one willing to speak his mind, but sadly that doesn’t mean he’s contributing anything of value.

      There’s no advantage to gain, because Trump supporters won’t be swayed by literally anything.

          They are running just in case Trump is forced off the ticket. Otherwise, they hope to be his VP. Except Christie, of course. But none of them will attack Trump, they will only defend against him and hope that his base doesn’t turn on them. None of them can realistically beat Trump, and none of them could conceivably win the general election without Trump voters. If they attack him for any of his obvious flaws, crimes, or odor, they will alienate the people they need to win.
