Trump heading for Republican 'coronation' as 2024 rivals struggle to stop him
Trump is far ahead in national polling, eclipsing Florida's governor and the rest of the field, who have so far been at a loss over how to narrow that gap.
Criminal traitor over party, party over country. It’s the MAGA way. Lost the popular vote twice, impeached twice, lost every court case trying to overturn the 2020 election, indicted three or four times so far? I can’t remember at this point. But he’s still their guy. Yes, it’s a cult.
The list goes on and on and on. Don't forget all the creepy stuff like openly fantasizing atnout his daughter, or the fact that he is a convicted rapist, admitted to sexual assault and etc. A draft dodger making fun of vets, grown man wearing makeup and diapers making fun of other people physical issues. What a waste of carbon.
Cowards vote from fear. It’s their way. And trump has ensured their fear is not only sustained, but heightened. Remember the Mexican wall? That was a joke compared to the fear he has struck within his idiot base recently. These people are straight suggesting murder now.
This has been one delicious fucking disaster. He doesn't stand a chance in a general. But he's still managing to prevent the Rs from rebranding into something sane enough idiots can vote for.
Don't stop your opponent from making mistakes.
I would not assume he doesn't stand a chance. He's every bit as dangerous as he's ever been.
No, he's really not. He's in how many court cases at the moment? His Russian funders are busy losing a land war they started. He's already lost the general once. People had four years of him so he's a known quantity.
No, that's fucking stupid. He's not more dangerous than ever. It's idiotic to suggest so.
Should we we be cautious? Of course. But the best possible outcome for this election slcycle was a fracturing of the Republican part and that's what has happened. They're fucked because after 40 years of Republicanism, they don't mean or stand for shit other than hate and oppression. Their entire policy back catalogue is bunk. They've got nothing and are on the wrong side of everything and everyone, even their voters, know it.
This just good popcorn content at this point.
Did you seriously forget 2016?
You mean when Trump was an unknown quantity, when he was going up against another unpopular candidate who was attacked constantly for decades and had the FBI release damning evidence but keep the evidence on Donny secret?
2024 is a vastly different race, because none of the above is true, and trump is going to have to try to get elected while he's on trial for stealing documents and trying to start a coup. Plus, the worst they've got on Biden is Hunter, and that's such a nothingburger that they're now mad that they got what they wanted.
This has been one delicious fucking disaster. He doesn't stand a chance in a general.
This mindset is what let him win in 2016. I don't know about you, but I generally try not to make the same mistake twice. Yes, he has numerous indictments against him, some federal, some state. However, there is no constitutional or legal precedent preventing a felon from becoming president.
This is important to repeat:
There is no constitutional or legal precedent preventing a felon from becoming president.
No, it doesn't matter if the indictments are federal or state. There is nothing disqualifing a felon from holding office. Furthermore, neither the states nor federal government can add a disqualifing condition without a constitutional amendment. I highly doubt a constitutional amendment will be written in those regards either, because I imagine there are many politicians at the state and local level who'd instantly lose their positions.
People thought he didn't stand a chance in 2016, yet here we are...
But he’s still managing to prevent the Rs from rebranding into something sane enough idiots can vote for.
I seriously doubt there’s any danger of that happening, but would that really be so horrible? if the republicans became more… sane?
It makes sense, really. He is the most popular candidate amongst conservatives because he most accurately reflects their personalities. He is the perfect representative of conservatism. Vile, grotesque and pure evil.
they’re not even hiding how badly they want a King or Emperor.
So this is really "silly season" when it comes to news and that apploes to political news like this.
The primary season hasnt even started and they're already saying trump has won. It's nonsense. People can build and lose momentum over the course of the race. All that's happened so far is the obvious challenger DeSantis has imploded. But it's a big race and anyone could gain attention and votes in the primarys.
Wenl just need to look back to previous races to see the bookies favourites not winning. Trump himself was an outside chance. Bill Clinton came back to win the nomination. The idea anyone has a clue what is going to happen in this race is nonsense.
The question to be asked though is is there anything Trump can realistically do to make him lose support among Republicans? Because it doesn't seem to be happening.
An the others in the field arent going to win anything at under 10%. Desantis is closes at 14% vs Trumps 50% so yah unless the devil shows up and runs, it aint happening...
@Silverseren @ijeff @BananaTrifleViolin
Wish I could say yes, but sadly I don't think so.
Remember when he said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave and get away with it? He wouldn't get away with it, but he also wouldn't lose any support whatsoever.
Will be interesting to see if there are 14th amendment lawsuits to keep him off the ballot in various states.

I’m all in for juuuuust enough states to make 270 electoral votes unattainable to him. A w is a w.
Honestly this next election is shaping up to be a shit show... again. My prediction is that the Republican party puts forth another candidate who has his potential pool cannibalized by Trump running independently and Biden campaign come under question due to his old age and low approval rating leading to a push for a different blue candidate.
