Granted, Trump’s performance on CNN served to fire up the members of the Trump personality cult. But’s that all it did. Nothing in his brash, over-the-top review of his 2020 grievances did one thing to draw independents / moderates to his cause. He lost moderates (especially suburban GOP women) in droves in 2020, which is why he is no longer in office.
Trey Gowdy said it best recently: There is no reason to think any of the swing states he lost in 2020 would flip back his way in 2024. And while polls may show him leading Biden at the moment, please note that he is still stuck in the mid 40’s.
Glenn Youngkin showed the way to flip a blue state. Pull together a coalition of Trump supporters, never Trumpers, and a lot of independents and leave the Democrats in the dust. Trump’s core supporters will stay loyal, but by itself that’s not enough. His daily trashing of Desantis serves only to drive that segment of the GOP far away from him. As weak as he is, Biden’s only hope of surviving is a Trump candidacy.
Re: 7 - good post, thanks!
Trump didn’t lose anybody in 2020. He won the election in a landslide and it was stolen in the middle of the night right in front of your eyes. How quickly people forget.
Even talking about any Republican winning in 2024 without fixing 2020 is just ridiculous dreaming.
The only reason I think Trump will be elected in 2020 is because I’m reasonably sure there is going to be a military intervention and they will administer the election. If I’m wrong then there will be a Democrat elected in 2024 and that will be the last election you will ever see.
So you better pray I’m right.
Trump lost the 3 AM votes dumps..
Biden was Installed..
The sooner the Bush, Dole,Bush,McCain, Romney wing of the swamp party understand that, the sooner they might not wither as a party when MAGA says no Mas to any of their present or future non Trump Presidential timber..
But play the stupid game R team.
MAGA knows the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama era when they see it..
It took a small break for Trump’s term.
Then right back to it with King Brandon’s installation.
