Because it's irrelevant. The point is that 6 candidates raised their hands. Which not only includes those leading in the polls behind Trump but also Mike Pence himself!
What is being comunicated in the image is that every republican nominee says they will support Trump. That is simply a lie; and the image was cropped specifically to make that lie.
You're making an assumption. I'm the one who made this image and I did not crop it specifically to "make that lie." I cropped it to show the six people that were holding their hands up.
Thanks for unwittingly continuing the spreading of misinformation on the Internet. It sucks here more because of situations like this.
If someone is coming to a political meme community looking for accurate information, let's all be good stewards and direct them to actual reputable news sources.
