Debunking the ‘Trump can’t win the general’ Myth
American Thinker ^ | 5/16/2023 | Matt Kane

Posted on 05/16/2023 3:30:18 AM PDT by Ouderkirk

As the presidential primary season commences, many career politicians, “experts,” and news outlets have already made one thing abundantly clear. “While Donald Trump might win the nomination, he has no path to win the general election” they say, or something to that affect. Some suggest that even Trump and his supporters secretly know this.

It's not that Trump can't win...He most likely will, as he did in 2020. But the democRATS/communists have shown they will never allow him to win and do whatever is necessary to prevent it.

Now that Trump has come out as pro-abortion, calling 6 week limits as too severe, he may not win the nomination.

Trump keeps drifting left under the false belief that his followers will not abandon him as he panders to Democrats.

DeoSanctus is pro abortion too, right. He signed the bill allowing abortions at 6 weeks. Get it?

On one hand Meatball Fans tell us that Trump can’t win over Moderates
and Independents.
When he takes a position on FLA Abortion Limit that would appeal to “Moderates”
And “Independent” he is trashed.
Which one is it Meatball Fans?

All I know is, if Joe 81millionvotes Biden or any Uniparty candidate needs them, they will get 91 million votes. And that number will not be questioned by the media etc.

Trump is no friend to Christians, Pro Lifer’s and Gun Owners, that is proven.

Trump lost the title for most pro-life POTUS with his comments. He can be a RINO and chase the moderates all he wants. But Trump risks losing the GOP nomination in the process.

Trump is not pro-baby murder, pro-groomer and anti-second amendment.

He is certainly trying to get the Democratic nomination.....or is that the RINO nomination?

desantis supporters, likely rebranded nevertrumpers from 2016 and 2020, push that Trump has no chance of winning the general, but the future is with desantis....

desantis, a person who has shown he has deliberately lied about his intent to run for president, as far back as with the re-election debate with crist.

desantis, who play games and jerk people around, with announcing his intent to run for president.

Who has been funded by big money and hedge funds, such as the billionaire funding his stealth operation super pac neverbackdown, which is already campaigning for him in multiple states.

Who has been endorsed and supported by swampy GOPe rinos, like the recent endorsement by iowa republicans.

And desantis has apparrently illegally laundered his state fund raised campaign donations, into a fund that will be for his federal presidential run, where conversion of such funds is illegal per FEC.

So, who wouldn’t want someone who jerks you around, appears willing to do fraudulent acts, and deliberately lies to you without hesitation, to be your president?

It is NOT a ‘general myth’... it is only the media who thinks that

If he doesn’t implode, Trump will have enough support to take the GOP nomination.

He's gotta GET there first. IMO, the RNC will do everything in its power to make sure THAT doesn't happen.

Ari Fleischer, Karl Rove...

Two of the most anti-Trump republican contributors on FOX news, who were in the George Bush administration. Trump didn’t like a lot of Bush’s policies, so, these two are trying to take down Trump, which they also tried in 2016 and 2020. They claim that Trump can’t win and is very polarizing. They are not caring that the great majority of republicans still support Trump.

Two things will work very strongly against DJT. First: voter fraud...particularly in swing states. Second: "Lawfare". Rat Party Headquarters has timed this perfectly thanks to the fact that 95% of the nation's lawyers...and judges...are Maoists.In August 2024 DJT *will* be on trial in DC for "sedition",he *will* be on trial in NYC for "campaign fraud" and he *will* be on trial in Atlanta for "vote fraud".

Three Maoist prosecutors...three different trials.

It will be interesting to see how many of the crazies RFK Jr. peels away from supporting Trump. He could be a real problem for Trump World because he is an alternative so-called “anti establishment” candidate.

"the democRATS/communists have shown they will never allow him to win and do whatever is necessary to prevent it.

I believe that to be absolutely correct.. I don't believe ANY republican will ever set in the white house again, unless the States and the "PEOPLE" rise up and do their job to save the republic..

That job is going to be a whole lot tougher now that Obama has his army among us..

"We the people", as guardians of the Constitution, suck real bad.!

Exactly. There are too many forces aligned against him, both legal and ILLEGAL (as has just been proven), to allow him to win. I worry these forces will eventually choose the ultimate tool to take him out of the running. Jeez, this country has turned so third world. Pray for President Trump.

He only has a chance if the election is fair. That’s not looking likely.

Republicans need to explain how a Republican will become the next President.
