Going into Wednesday's Republican debate in Milwaukee, plenty of rank-and-file conservatives are happy that Donald Trump will not be there
. But plenty of rank-and-file conservatives said they were eager to see their options without the former president dominating the conversation.
The Watfords represent a notable share of Republican primary voters who, regardless of their feelings about Trump, want the party to wrestle with its identity and choices rather than hand the former president a third consecutive nomination without a fight. The group is difficult to quantify precisely, thoughIt extends beyond the small-but-vocal “Never Trump” faction.
The dynamic at “The Gathering” underscored the challenge for Trump’s rivals Wednesday night. None of them have yet won enough support to avoid splintering the GOP base. “These candidates get pigeonholed or just ignored in the media, especially television,” said Raz Shafer, a 37-year-old from Stephenville, Texas. “It is refreshing to hear a different, deeper perspective in their own voice.”
