In before the NeverTrumper declares Trump will lose 2024.
It is true that Trump for now holds a significant lead in the Republican nomination process,and may bully his way to the nomination. Trump’s loyalists are currently gleeful and condescending about his rivals. Trump spent $25M in despicable attack ads against DeSantis in the first six months of 2023, attacking him from the left!
But there is something far more sobering beyond the nomination. Here are the most recent national poll results for the general election:
Harvard / Harris – Trump 45, Biden 40
Monmouth – Biden 47, Trump 40
Yahoo News – Biden 49, Trump 44
Morning Consult – Biden 43, Trump 41
Economist / YouGov – Tied at 42
Messenger / HarrisX – Tied at 44
In 2024, it comes down to electability. Not only is Trump stuck in the low to mid 40s, it has been that way for a long time and there is little to no prospect of him breaking through that ceiling, especially in the swing states. Trump is universally known and 99% of the electorate have already made their minds up about him.
This explains why Senator John Kennedy stated last week that Biden’s DOJ will help to ensure Trump gets the nomination. Trump is the only GOP nominee Biden has a realistic chance of defeating. Which would mean President Kamala Harris shortly thereafter. It’s too bad Trump loyalists can’t seem to foresee this disaster in the making.
In before the NeverTrumper declares Trump will lose 2024.
Well he does have a record of losing. 2020 for example. While he was the sitting president, as I recall.
Surely he has a better chance now that he’s out of office and under indictment.
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
