What evidence do voters have his choices will be any better in a second administration?

Trump alone knows what happened. He will be the only one that can attempt a swamp cleaning.

What happened to you? Are you the same person that posted this:


Ryan said, “We probably likely lose the White House. We just did in ’20. So, I think we probably lose the White House with Trump.”

In 2020 Trump earned more popular votes than any Republican presidential candidate in United States history with 74.2 million popular votes. He also received more popular votes in 2016 than any other Republican. He out performed the 62.9 million votes he received in 2016 by 11 million.. Romney received 60.9 million in 2012. McCain received 59.9 million in 2008. George W. Bush received 62.0 million popular votes in 2004, and 50.4 million in 2000.

Biden ostensibly achieve 81.3 million votes in 2020. If Paul Ryan truly believes the 2020 election counts for both candidate were 100% accurate and not impacted by cheating, if Trump had not run for reelection in 2020, what Republican does Ryan believe could have earned enough votes to beat Biden? What Republican does Ryan believe can even beat Trumps 2020 74 million total in 2024 if Trump is not the nominee.

Does Ryan not realize that if Trump is cheated by the party establishment of the 2024 nomination, the conservative base will stay home and the establishment nominee (Pence, Haley, Pompeo, Hogan, etc) will receive far fewer popular votes than Trump did in 2000 or 2024? Ryan is either delusional or is already rooting for a Democrat winning in 2024 no matter who the Republicans nominate.

I am the same person. My biggest concern about Trump running for reelection is his demonstrated inability to select high level talent for critical positions essential for helping him carry out his agenda. One person cannot do everything. With committed, talented leaders assisting him he may be able to make a dent in the swamp.

Trump had numerous failures in key positions. The three most critical appointments in a new administration are: Vice President, White House Chief of staff, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense. Three of his first appointments - Reince Priebus, Rex Tillerson, and James Mattis were failures and each lasted less than two years. They were not the only ones. It can be argued Mike Pence was a failure as well. There were a string of other failures in critical positions from outside the beltway (Anthony Scaramucci being perhaps the most dramatic) as well as inside the beltway (General Kelly as Chief of Staff, Mark Milley as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs for example).

Trump may be able to win reelection. Can he make headway rooting out corruption and reforming the entrenched bureaucracy? Only if he has a team of talented and committed professionals working with him heading each department. He unfortunately failed his first time out.
