If Trump is really up 34% or even 25% over his nearest competitor for the nomination, then he should be attacking Biden at every chance, and not the people whose support he will need in the general election.
Quite frankly, many people in my conservative circles are growing tired of Trump’s childish name-calling, especially suburban women.
Like Suburban women ever supported Trump.

A good friend of mine is an American, with a strong Italian heritage (duel citizenship). This guy is a conservative Democrat. He voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020.
Trump lost my Italian friend over Trump disingenuously connecting DeSantis to the nickname “Meatball Ron”. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Is my friend being superficial here? Yes.
But it’s a lost vote nevertheless.
Then they are pathetically short-sighted and their priorities are completely upside-down. I can understand cringing at some of Trump’s choices for targets of his personal attacks, but to allow that to influence your vote would be the height of idiocy, especially given the DIRE state of our country at this moment. People like you describe are self-centered and driven by their emotions and are a constant drag on any attempt to restore this country. They also tend to have no real concept of how close we are to oblivion, instead luxuriating in the “normalcy bias” and as a result believing that business as usual is the “civil” way to go. But this is not the time for social niceties, it is time for serious men to do serious things. We need a bull in a china shop, not Miss Manners.
I have no doubt that the weaklings that you describe would have demanded the head of the likes of George Patton, and likely lost the war in Europe as a result. But their delicate sensibilities would be soothed, as they headed off to their mandatory German language lessons.
