Any Republicans care to explain why Trump has a 40 point lead in 2024 GOP Primary?
Stated differently, why haven’t elected GOP Senators and members of Congress condemned Trump’s rhetoric?

All Republicans are scum. MAGAT's are inbred morons.
Thank God for Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Maybe because his policies were working great and then the pandemic hit. He is an ass but he
has a ton of smarts when it comes to policy and economic success. 1.4% inflation, the government goal is 2%, 3.7% unemployment, the government goal is 4%. Proportional increase in income for the middle class and below versus the upper class. A tax policy that benefited close to 80% of the country. ISIS, N. Korea, Russia no threat and China on the ropes. Consumer confidence at a fifty year high. People feeling positive about their futures the highest in 50 years. This was prior to pandemic which was no ones fault. Oh and warp speed on the vaccine and though it did not prevent people from getting Covid, it saved probably 50 million American lives.
Again, Trump did not have any policies. Policy requires thought and study.
On the economy, he inherited a locomotive economy from the Obama term.
Trump did not make us safer re foreign policy and national security. If either of those were priorities, he wouldn't have tried to extort Ukraine, and he wouldn't have been so cavalier with classified documents.
He is more than "an ass." Trump is corrupt and destructive. His rallies prove that.
Who’s he running against? Did somebody declare?

That is a good question. Famous individuals often run well against an unamed field.

It's somewhat heartening to see so many GOP candidates "Walking Back" their 'Stolen Election' and
Anti-Abortion rhetoric..meaning that they know the majority of Americans don't want what they're selling...still sad that any buy into this, but it is what it is.
Those are two very different questions. But, perhaps the answer is the same.
I can't see the poll, so I can't see if it is in one state, or who ran it. But, 40% seems quite high. If accurate, (which I would find shocking...but then, I find a lot of things shocking in modern politics), then perhaps it is because...he's popular?
If so, then the question remains: why is he popular?
I know two types of Trump supporters, although I will add a third class of Trump voters who don't really support him.
1) The first group consists of those who loved him from the beginning and still do. Most of the people I encounter in this group are on the internet, and they (the ones I encounter) have high school diplomas, are Union workers or farmers. (Side note: I only personally know one person in this first group...a relative of mine who is a minority and who is gay...and very outspoken in favor of Trump. Had a few beers with him at a family event a while back. The guy is a high information voter, active in the GOP (actually ran for office at one point), and he is hysterically funny, and totally blows away your prejudices against this group.)
2) The second group consists of those who like his policies (strong foreign policy, support for conservative values, and support for the common man), but they would hate him normally because he is a jackass. But, they have strong sympathy for him for being wrongly persecuted for the past 5 years. They think that persecution continues to this day. They think this persecution is harming the constitution, and they think he can stop that harm. This is the little old lady group of trump supporters, and I know a few of them.
3) There is a third group, very similar to the second, but they only support Trump when they have no viable alternative, so to call them "Trump supporters" is a big stretch. They vote against him in primaries. They are mostly "Dem opposers" because they hate the devisive tactics and labels of the Left, the sexualization of youth, etc.
You guys can't do anything about the first group of people, and neither can GOP leaders. (You guys abandoned this group when you became global elitists willing to import illegals to take their jobs.)
You could have diminished the second group of people, but you totally revitalized them by raiding Mar-el-lago. So, probably too late to do anything about them.
For the third group: You Democrats need to stop funneling tens of millions of dollars to the MAGA candidates in their primary races, and maybe allow the GOP to fight them better. You guys are helping to keep MAGA alive, by funding. Stop that.
LOL, I totally disagree with this reply. Especially the oxymoron "high information" Trump voter. 😂

Did you see the weird footage from his last rally?
That music in the background is apparently a QAnon ditty.
Just so fucking weird. Not a cult!

And here he is decked out in QAnon stuff
He "retruthed" it, which is what you do on Truth Social, apparently.
