Trump voters are ‘done’ with ex-president: ‘He needs to disappear’
The New York Post ^ | November 11, 2022 | Salena Zito

The chickens have come home to roost for Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. After he stuck his nose in the state’s Republican primary process last May against the guidance of his most loyal advisers, many of his once-devoted followers say they are done with the former president.

(snip)

“If you’re a Republican in Pennsylvania and you look at Donald Trump’s bigfooting of the people in Pennsylvania and the implosion of his candidates in Pennsylvania, you’re pretty upset,” said Urban, a Washington-based strategist who grew up in Beaver County, Pa.

Urban said his phone has been ringing all week with county chairs and committee people who tell him they’ve had it with Trump.

“They said, ‘Look, we’re done. We’re done with him. He cost us this election and we’re done.’”

He’s not the only one. All day Wednesday my phone lit up with calls and emails from voters who expressed the exact same frustration. One woman said she saw the writing on the wall last weekend when Trump decided to take a swipe at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — calling him “Ron DeSanctimonious” — while he campaigned for Oz and Mastriano in Pennsylvania.

And when Trump went on to tease that he was going to announce “something big” next week (presumably his run for president in 2024), she knew it would hurt Oz on Election Day.

“I had a pit-of-my-stomach moment as I watched the rally,” said the former Trump fan, who did not want to be named. “It is hard to quit Trump — I voted for him twice enthusiastically.” But “at this juncture, I think we have to move forward to a new generation of leaders.”

“I get the heebie jerboas“

‘I get the heebie-jeebies with deSantis too.’

so you speak autocorrect. I do as well.

That might be better accomplished in the States. If Lake wins in AZ, she needs to get to the bottom of 2020, and maybe put Hobbs in jail.

The difference is that Patton didn't have to get elected by a majority. He just had to have one boss who appreciated his talent and could afford tomoiss off everyone else.

Trump can't.

Thanks for demonstrating that you don’t know how the Electoral College is supposed to work. And do you count yourself among the fraud deniers too?

DJT has ways of knowing who is with him and who is against him. Don’t believe any of the Trump/DeSantis nonsense. He is a master chessman.

Gillum wasn’t found to be a crack smoking gay John until after the election. DeSantis turned a narrow victory into a 20-point landslide in 4 years against a former FL governor. Pretty impressive.

The 2024 map is hard. Florida, Texas, Ohio, Iowa and NC are pretty safe. Everything after that is dicey. NH is fools gold. Michigan is probably off the board. I wouldn’t count on Maine either. You more of less have to win 3 out of 5 of GA, AZ, NV, PA, WI. We’re probably going to be 1-4 in senate races this year in those states. Those are federal offices, so I think that’s better representative of presidential voting patterns than governorships. Granted, all of the incumbents appear to be positioned to win, and I don’t know if Biden will be running which could be an advantage or a disadvantage. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Brian Kemp ended up on the ticket to help get GA nailed down.

Also, unless the GOP gets a lot better about ballot harvesting, it may be a lost cause. Democrats can overcome a lot of bad environmental factors and bad candidates with their machinery.

exactly, but the investigation must be congressional, assuming we win the house.

I agree no action will be taken by the corrupt regime in washington: but desantis has shown that a determined state government can make a difference: desantis won by nearly 20% after winning against homo druggie gilliam by only 1% last time.

Let's say that will happen. Plus I add Nevada and Wisconsin. No guarantees. Still only 266. We need Arizona, Michigan or Pennsylvania. If we can get one out of three then we can take the White House.

I think a continuation of the J6 Committee might be useful, with a different, Republican-chosen panel. A lot of suppressed evidence could be reviewed, and a defense of DJT and the J6 prisoners mounted. But that’s another fight that MAGA and establishment Republicans would have to have.

“We’re done with him.” Nope. We are not done with him. I support President Trump 100%.

“Word is that Trump will announce his candidacy next week. That will likely doom Walker.”

And Trump does not give a damn. He’s the me,me,me candidate.
