“The Trump 2024 strategy is essentially the same as 2020 and 2016. Rallies, tweet feuds, ideology etc.”
Trump has not started his campaign yet.
Ideology? I asked you if MAGA offended you. It must.
He hasn’t tweeted in years.
You are so full of crap.
Are you serious?
you’re posting articles that insinuate he’s running for president...
and i mentioned the “desantis instructed people not to donate to any organization that claims he’s running for president in 2024...
why are you lying?...
Kari hasn’t given up yet so I’m not. I agree heads must roll.
If Trump wins the nomination, I’ll vote for him
I second the vote it has a nice ring to it.
Bonus round Biden is shown the door where the Trump plaque is mounted.
MAGA round two
Sure, I guess.
As I posted above, I think DeSantis can flip AZ, GA, and VA.
I think the only chance Trump has at winning is if the Democrats are stupid enough to run Kamala Harris, who posts lower negatives then even Biden does. It'll be 2016 all over again with independent and moderate voters holding their noses to vote for Trump because they loathe his opponent even more than they loathe him. Kamala Harris would be a disaster and the Democrats know this. Don't be surprised to see the Dems pull a "Spiro Agnew" on her to get someone more palatable in before Biden dies or resigns.
If Harris finds herself the sitting president, there will be an ugly primary battle and the Democrats remember all too well the ugly primary in 1980 between Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy. Carter emerged victorious but his campaign was mortally wounded.
Gavin Newsom? There's a lot of chatter about him but I think California is too much of a basket-case for him to be a formidable candidate. Just imagine, every opposition commercial will feature videos of California's growing homeless and crime-ridden dystopia.
The Democrat candidate that keeps me up at night is Gretchen Whitmer. She's the Democrat DeSantis. Re-elected in a landslide in a battleground state. She checks the woman box. Checks the mom box. She'll appeal to suburban moms (in the way Kamala Harris does not). She seems to have weathered her COVID excesses fairly well and Michigan isn't a basket case of dysfunction.
Gretchen Whitmer would be a formidable candidate.
The other candidate who keeps me up at night is Michelle Obama. She could win on nostalgia alone. Fortunately, it doesn't appear she has any interest in elective politics, preferring a life of leisure and Hollywood A-list parties. It's the Democrats' loss because she could easily win, at the very least, Feinstein's senate seat from which to build a base. She'd win it in a walk. All the Obama's have to do is buy a beachfront property in Malibu.
Dude, you are really a special needs kid.
The organizations raising money for DeSantis aren't legitimate because the legitimate organizations will be set up by the DeSantis Team himself and these haven't been established yet.
I could set up a "TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT 2024" fundraising website tomorrow if I wanted to and spend all the money on hookers and blow.
Doesn't make it legitimate.
your excerpting my post to your advantage is lying...

Huh? I voted for Trump twice, and Iāll do so again if heās the nominee. But I hope he isnāt because I want to win. We donāt owe politicians our loyalty; itās the reverse. Theyāre public servants.
By the way, I donāt know where to ask, but do I need a photo hosting site to post a pic on my profile? I havenāt found a way to do it from my camera roll. Apologies for the hijack.
Yep. I mentioned this disclaimer in my first post.
I actually like Continetti. And unlike many #NeverTrumpers, he's at least honest enough to prefer Trump over Biden.
This article was less a praise of Trump's resurgence and more of a warning to the other #NeverTrumpers to not discount him.
Trump isn't out of the game. Not by a long shot.
As a DeSantis supporter, I'm under no illusions that Trump will be an easy adversary in the primaries. He's still the frontrunner. But as an American, I'd be happy if either man wins.
If Trump earns the primary (and he's going to have to earn it), I will support him wholeheartedly. But, I'm gonna call him out on his bullish*t as well.
I agree except this is for the nomination. Plus trump is so fixated by head count. Nobody cared how many were at the inauguration but he made a point of grumbling about it.
Politics? After all of the crazy talk and lies? Really?
Remember:
* Elections are all rigged, and we can’t win!
* The Russians, Iranians, North Koreans and all are our friends!
* Everything is a vast, all encompassing conspiracy, and everyone is in on it!
* Q!
[All irony and sarcasm there.]
Yeah. Politics. Right. Sure.
No!
Oh, and THE VAXXXXXXX! Everyone who was vaxed is dead. Really!
@ @ <-———[Crazy eyes]
Just no.
Yeah, I got two doses of Moderna back in March of 2021. No boosters.
I'm still waiting to "die unexpectedly" with the shakes and the frothing at the mouth, etc...
agree the republicans have the votes in az. but they had the votes in az in 2022. dems just stole that one. now the dems control the state elections in az nv and pa. no chance even good candidates can win.
the problem is not the candidates is the process. dems run circles around the repubs on process.
Certainly not. He's actually in the driver's seat to get the nomination, right now, as proven by how a strong majority of his supporters are still hanging on, despite him pushing not just vaccines but boosters, having gay parties (probably orgies in some of those rooms) at his resort, basically deflating the red wave by letting his ego overshadow the actual election, tweeting the Constitution needs to be thrown out so he can be installed as the 2020 winner, etc. As long as that block holds strong, despite these absurd missteps that would have destroyed anyone else, a divided field stands no chance against him.
There are some wildcards, such as if opposition to him quickly unifies behind a single competitor, whether he gets indicted or not, how much of his own money he's willing to spend, and last but not least, his health. This is a 75+ year old man, who's famous for being vaxxed, boosted, and often eating KFC, McDonalds, and Diet Coke.
But right now it looks like Trump will win the nomination, just like McConnell, McCarthy, and McDaniel all got their expected positions already. Same old same old. But, I don't think he stands a chance in the General Election. He's done nothing to correct voting fraud in the toss up states, despite having hundreds of millions donated to him for that exact purpose. His pro-homo agenda will be a good excuse for Peter Buttplugg's sinful lifestyle, or his son's relationship with Newsome's ex will be used to show he's not such a bad guy either, which are the two most likely candidates he will face. Worst case, he has to take on Ms. Obama, and Trump will be an easy smear as a racist, sexist, abuser of women.
He'll be destroyed in the general, and our causes such as the outrageous spending and debt, the dangers of gain of function, uncontrolled Big Pharma, the horrible sin of sodomy, ever securing the election, or the border, will all go down with him. Even if he wins, based on his last term, not sure much would be done about those issues anyway. Sure we got a tax cut, and a few miles of wall, but little else remains that is good.
This is what we're facing. So many think the more they love Trump, the more likely it is he will do the right thing, but in reality, it's exactly the opposite. He's got them so fooled a huge portion won't even vote for anyone else, if Trump loses the nomination. That fact, is the main reason I think DeSantis may not even attempt a run this time. Once Trump leaves a smoking hole, he can then ride in to save the day. That may happen as part of the primary this year, but more likely after the general.
