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.

All of this says that basically the Republican Party is broken beyond all repair.

What it is showing is that the desantis supporters/nevertrumpers would rather have biden win the general, than Trump.

It’s too bad Trump disloyalists have weak candidates that can’t win a primary, can’t win a general, and can’t accomplish squat.

Polls really are meaningless until after the debates begin. Then the media leads Facebook what excerpts they should allow. Then the voters decide. From one Tik Tok debate clip, their mind is made up. One gaffe, one zinger, as deep as their research goes.

I know personally 2 women Who voted for Trump in 2016..not in 2020. They still hate him because they say he is crude and rude. Grabbed 🐈 and other such nonsense.

I’m not defending them I’m just saying there are MILLIONS of women who would vote for Desantis but won’t for Trump. Same with low info moderates who are convinced Trump wanted to overthrow the Gov on Jan 6.

The sad thing is these people insulting Desantis and those who think he might be a viable candidate—calling us Never Trampers (another lie, I like Trump as well) —RINOs—NEOCONS—-even Biden lovers (yeah you BACKPACKER what a load of crap you spew) will forget you were warned many times.
