There is no republican who will win 2024. Not Trump not Desantis. Not any republican nominee.
Why not?
The democrats have weaponized the entire federal bureaucracy to get out the democrat vote. Then they have funneled a billion or two to non profits to interface with local elections and the feds to get out the vote —including illegals. Finally, we don’t don’t know this —but it would be impossible for the dems not to interface with the border patrol to send illegals to contested counties to pad the vote for democrats.
The crucial thing that the democrats accomplished in the 2022 election was to secure the local and state governments of Arizona, Nevada and Pennsyvania. So the democrats will control voting there. As well, the democrats invented some new twists in Maricopa county to foil republican voters--that they will likely replicate elsewhere.
Biden hid out in his basement in 2020 and won the election. The democrats had a very weak hand in 2022 and still managed to firewall their losses to the republicans.
Its likely that the USA will be in dire straights in 2024--but still the dems will win. Because they control the voting. Their control of the voting allows them to ignore the economic consequences of their actions.
I have heard no republican give an answer for democrat gamesmenship.
Mostly the pubs are clueless.
Therefor, when you hear people joust about republican personalities potential to win in 2024--you're hearing mostly clueless people. Democrats don't care. What personailities? They put up zombies who win. Why? because they control the vote.
Bravo… a voice of reason
The problem is that the Republican Party, as it currently is positioned, is in no shape to capture these people.
RE: it is possible to win. But not the way the republicans are currently playing it.
Ok, I am all ears, how should Republicans be playing it in light of what happened the past two election cycles?
Reported. Name calling is against forum rules. You know I’m more than willing to actually debate, too.
Count me a member of the “idealistic fringe.”
I’m thoroughly sick of the “moderates” that need to be fluffed all the time.
They must’ve written Prince Harry’s new book, “Whaaaaa”.
Well, moderates don’t like men in skirts, defund the police, and race hustlers. You might learn to like them!
The Republican POLITICIANS don’t mind second place.
Because in DC, there is only first place and second place winners.
EVERYBODY else serves THEM.
Actually, the traditional order is:
1. Soap Box
2. Ballot Box
3. Jury Box
4. Ammo Box

Not just with Trump’s support; Trump was whipping votes for Ronna.
OTOH, DeSantis supported Harmeet Dhillon.

ultimately..this is exactly why at a local level we need MAGA candidates...not the extremes of the right and left nutjobs that the media want for the cartoon stories...and that big business needs to control elections
But Biden's campaign did not. They ran circles around Trump's campaign. Biden dominated the living room campaign - controlled the narrative entirely from start to finish and on many networks with zero countering message from the Trump campaign. This was on top of all of the free media Biden had to help him including not only the entire news media, but also networks ran in lieu of regular programming Leftist "get out the vote" prime time specials.
The democrats had a very weak hand in 2022 and still managed to firewall their losses to the republicans.
To say they had much better funded and organized campaigns would be an understatement. The Democrat base like in 2020 opened their wallets freely, while the GOP / MAGA base sat on their hands and kept their wallets closed. The numbers tell the story.
You can't win a battle if you don't show up to the battlefield, and we didn't. Both times.
beats me.
I’m not a player.
Mitt was a joke. He was "allowed" to be the GOP candidate in 2012 and destined to lose. After promoting him in order to destroy true conservatives in the primaries, the media dropped him like a hot potato in the general election.
They will never let a Conservative, or even a RINO, anywhere near the White House again.
Ronna McDaniel had to know the voting system was rigged, but did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, and she is STILL in charge of the RNC!
The only thing the democrats have weaponized is their won trap they have no secrets left to pull off.
They have damaged their own voters with high crime high living costs shortages insane environment regulations Marxism and put Biden and Harris in office and the danger of world war three.
Color that party dead
I don’t disagree with you.
However, the democrat voting machine is alive and well and prospering even if the voters are dying.
Henry and I have the same birthday, January 10th but not the same year
