Hardly a fan of former President Donald Trump, Luntz was all but forced on Friday to predict that Trump will win the 2024 presidential election. Bummer, Frank.
Luntz was asked: “If you had to bet $150,000 on who's gonna win in November, who would you bet on?”
To his credit, Luntz bit the bullet and answered — but oh, the grimace and body language:
Luntz: I never dreamed that I would say this, but I would bet on Trump. I never, I thought it was done. I thought it was over. You don't come back from an impeachment. You don't come back from January 6th, you don't come back from any of this.
Uh-huh. But Luntz was forced to admit that Trump has come back.
Then again, in some circles, Trump never went away. Toss in Joe Biden — with the worst approval ratings, at this point in his presidency, in U.S. presidential history — and frankly (no pun intended), I would've been surprised if Trump hadn't "come back." Said Luntz:
But he has come back. The guy's a survivor and his opponent is having so much trouble that I would at this point, give the edge to Trump.
It was obvious that Luntz was genuinely disturbed by his own prediction.
The disbelief. The puzzlement. The anguish.
While Luntz was beside himself, he appeared incapable of understanding the current dissatisfaction in middle America, and a growing majority of voters in general who utterly disdain what Joe Biden has intentionally done to this country; from his intentional border crisis to the Afghanistan debacle to Bidenomics — which led to Bidenflation — to the never-ending flow of taxpayer money to Ukraine, and now, the strikes on the Houthi terrorists in Yemen, and the threat of a widening, Mideast war.
Yep, Joe did that. And more.
-Luntz and the Democrats have every reason to panic-
As I reported previously, even MSNBC on New Year's Eve rained all over Biden's reelection chances. Steve Kornacki, MSNBC's national political correspondent, meticulously explained how NBC’s final Biden presidency tracking poll of 2023 compares with those of other presidents heading into this reelection year. Spoiler: Biden's numbers sucked at record levels.
“That’s the lowest,” said Kornacki, referring to Biden’s record-low approval rating. “That’s the lowest in an NBC poll for an incumbent facing a reelection here.”
The commentary continued:
Joe Biden seems poised to be the Democratic nominee. What kind of year is he had politically? Well, again, he started 2023 coming off those good midterms for Democrats and his approval rating of 46/50 wasn’t that bad, but he’s taken a hit this year.
And as we start to close out the year, our final NBC poll had him at just 40% approval, 57% disapproval. How does this compare to past presidents entering the reelection year? Here? You can see it. Here’s the 40 that we have Biden at right now. These are all the final polls heading into the election year, a reelection year that NBC conducted.
You just see all the reasons President Trump got beat in 2020. He was at 44 heading into his reelection year. Bush Sr. got beat in 92. He was at 52 and heading south rapidly there.
But you see how that number compares. That’s the lowest. That’s the lowest in an NBC poll for an incumbent facing a reelection here.
The 2024 presidential election will be more about the spectacular failures of Joe Biden — which it should be — than about bogeyman, Donald Trump.
The Bottom Line I've closely followed presidential elections for more years than I'll admit, here — but I will say this: regardless of the eventual outcome of the 2024 presidential election, the next 10 months will be like nothing we've ever seen.
Count on it.
He’ll definitely get the most votes, whether he wins or not is another question . . . .
Yeah, I’d like to know what info they’re getting and from where. Cousins cousins barbers brother in laws step sister? If all they claim were true, I wouldn’t support him either.
No thanks
The Dems only hope is that Biden goes room temp (I’m not advocating that) and his replacement is someone that can obtain gobs of sympathy votes.
I doubt this will happen so Trump is the next president.
There is a lot to learn from 2016 and 2020. I don’t hold much hope for the GOP but there is a sliver of hope that the Trump group will have a plan of action.
Raise your hand if you think the left and deep state are going to just let Trump march to victory as in a normal election year?
Only if they have a plan to keep him from governing. Allowing him in kills the rigged election noise for them. They may allow if they think they can sabotage him at every turn, including his own party, again.
“You don’t come back from an impeachment. You don’t come back from January 6th, you don’t come back from any of this.”
Sure ya do! Even Stevie Wonder can see how EVIL Socialist Democrats are in their quest for power!
Go Trump or Go Home! :)
I can explain it clearly for Frank. We, the People, are tired and we are fed up. Frankly? We’re pissed off. And we support Trump because we believe out of all the candidates running, he gives us the best likelihood of getting justice served, especially in that he himself has been subject to their persecution.
Now I can’t speak for everyone, but if they won’t let us have Trump and allow justice to be served within the law? I have no qualms supporting a dictator to seize absolute power for the purpose of permanently breaking the back of the woke dems, forever.
I’m hoping that saying it out loud will be enough to prevent it.
Let him cringe I cringe at 4 more years of Biden or any dimwit
Easier said than done in AZ. I believe Republicans have the legislature by a margin of 1-2. All it takes is to peel off a few RINOs and nothing gets done by conservative reps.
Then the MAGA Republicans will have to make a case to the people in Arizona on election security. Maybe they can get it fixed by 2028.
The oligarchy will never let this happen.
I pray that you are right.
Not me.
