That’s a problem because there are a lot of Republicans in DC who would prefer to lose the WH than to have PDJT back in it.
I’ll vote for Trump if he wins the primary even though I have my doubts about his chances in the general. But if he loses the primary he needs to step aside. Not doing so would prove he’s in it for himself.
Yes I will write him in if he’ not allowed to run as the Republican nominee.
I have to admit that I am not so keen on DJT as I used to be. He just won’t stop pushing the Pfizer vax no matter how useless it is.
Anything to help the Dem candidate.
Get Smart GOP, Back Trump 100%, Run him, Elect him, and on Inauguration day Decimate the Prog Left Socialist Democrats and Deep Swamp.
I don’t think Trump would run a campaign if he knew he was going to lose - but his lack of support for the eventual candidate would equally spell doom for Republicans.
Republicans need to play nice with each other.
I’ll vote for Trump or DeSantis. If they run a leftist (Bush, Romney, etc.) I’ll vote 3rd party or write someone in.
Mitch would be so relieved. Then he wouldn’t have to wake up in a cold sweat worrying that a Republican could win the presidency. His worst nightmare. Goes for the whole swamp.
If Trump runs as an independent, he will hand the Presidency to whatever warm body the DemocRATs nominate.
It doesn’t matter how many short-sighted conservatives would vote for Trump as an independent. All that matters is if Trump has the common sense to either run as the GOP nominee, or not run at all.
Trump has a big ego. Nothing automatically wrong with that. Great leaders often have big egos. But sometimes a big ego will lead a person to chose something that is personally satisfying, but ultimately destructive. So please Mr. Trump, no third-party stuff.
Side note: I sure wish we had a presidential run-off system like some other countries have. Then a third-party run would make sense.
Even Trump somtime this past year mentioned Teddy Roosevelt’s “Bull Moose” run. It not only split the GOP it split GOP voters and gave the election to Woodrow Wilson. To all the GOP people in the country, that was no “victory”. Teddy, like Trump took political rejection personally.
“a majority of Republican voters are seeking to move past Trump and elevate another candidate as their party’s nominee”
Hmm, maybe if you added up all the other potential nominees’ support, but that’s not how primaries work. Trump is still the #1 pick for Republican nominee.
I’m not a Banana Republican..
Trump has my vote.
Even if it’s a write in..
The Banana Republican party has birthed the country Presidential candidates of Bush,Dole,Bush, McCain, Romney before Trump.
And many in that Banana R party are very pleased Trump was robbed.
And most of those above names appeared to be direct adversaries for Trump and MAGA.
That’s the Banana R party legacy that needs to be buried..
They haven’t been sending their best,to semi quote a famous billionaire turned political infiltrator..
Trump is the only one who can save this Country!! The only choice we have to fix it quickly without Bloodshed!! Other than Trump we suffer the consequences!!

The mission of the MSM and their deep state overlords could not be clearer going into the 2024 election.
They are going to sow division within the GOP and we already see that Trump/DeSantis/Haley etc, are rising to the challenge and playing the game AND they are going to run an independent who only has to appeal to 1-2% of GOP voters. Combine that with the 1% of Libertarian votes that are typically pretty steady and say hello to President Kalifornia.
It is not popular to say here on FR and some people are in denial but there are a small number of republicans who simply will NOT vote for Trump. This is a fact. I know a few. While, he increased his votes in 2020 and that was remarkable so did Biden who campaigned from his basement. We have a LOT of election problems and they are not getting solved.
As long as the democrats can harvest ballots there is NO margin for error for any republican candidate and Trump may have an even slimmer margin than a generic republican no matter how well he polls in the primaries (he will be the nominee).
If they make the DeSantis/Trump feud into a nasty battle (it has the potential) we will lose the election. Period. Those two need to refuse to play the game no matter how many times they stick a mic under their nose but we KNOW that Trump can’t help himself and frankly DeSantis has a chippy streak as well.
The media knows this so they will stir, stir, and stir and bait them at every turn and WE WILL LOSE. Look at the numbers from 2020. Any third party “conservative Trump protest candidate” will tip the election - it was that close.
The media will give the 1% “Republican” independent an outsized amount of media coverage. Name one race in the last three elections where they actually “found” votes for the republican after election day. Just one.
Lower the number needed to harvest after the election ends by 30,000 votes and that is 30,000 less they need to harvest. They can easily cover this margin in the swing states. It’s insane.
wouldn’t the dems just love that...
The GOPe and the likes of Paul Ryan do not like Trump. That is why I support President Trump.
