As Ronald Reagan might say — there they go again.
The “they” this time around is the Never Trump chorus insisting that not only can’t former President Donald Trump win the 2024 election, but he shouldn’t even be trying.
Whether it’s Bush-cheerleader Karl Rove in the Wall Street Journal, or, in the same place, Ruth R. Wisse, a professor emerita at Harvard University, or the esteemed Andrew C. McCarthy over at National Review, or more scattered over the political landscape, the Trump naysayers are out in force, predicting, of course, that the former president’s reelection bid is dead in the water — or should be, if it isn’t already.
And they would be wrong.

Reagan overthrew the Ford wing of the GOP but never spent time attacking them.
Who has taken the bait?
Do you mean the supporters of the one candidate who doesn't recognize that the 2020 election was stolen?
Those people? That candidate?
pubs have to figure out what to do in 2024 when they draw ahead on election night. pubs have no answer when, on election night —the dems close down election offices in blue cities all over the country so they can manufacture vote to take their states.
pubs had no answer in 2020. no signs of answer in 2024
Yup.
In late October of 2024 DJT will have been convicted of about a half dozen felonies...state and Federal. Anyone believing otherwise is delusional.
Nobody on our side doubts Trump can win again for the third time.
But unless we can muster some outrage over what they did in 2020 - there’s not much hope of him getting sworn in again.
What I see is a desire by both sides to treat this as business as usual.
Just another routine election - primaries, debates, rallies, rah rah rah!
The trouble with that is - we can’t fight evil if we can’t even call it by its real name. Calling what they did “ballot harvesting” is way too nice.
“Conservatives need to get better at intellectual arguments”
How so?
He can win. A loss in any of the lawsuits will injure that.
I think Reagan lived in a whole ‘nother world.
This is a much different country than it was in Reagan’s time.
Reagan would lose today.
1962, after he lost the governor race in California.
You win the Checkers match...
