New Hampshire's uber-popular Republican governor Chris Sununu put it plainly on NBC's Meet the Press: "Donald Trump is a loser."
Before that, Sununu had rightly rebuked all the pundits who say the GOP presidential nomination for 2024 is a done deal. "Most folks don’t decide who they are voting for until about three weeks before the election," he said.
And he is right.
At this time, a year before the 2008 election, Hillary Clinton was the odds-on favorite to be the Democratic nominee. She lost to Barack Obama. At this time, 28 months before the 2016 election, polls showed the idea of Trump as president was a joke. And so on, and on, and on, and on.
Having made the point that voters change their minds, Sununu said Republican voters are going to be increasingly concerned with which potential nominee can actually beat the Democrats in 2024. He said it is absolutely clear that Trump cannot do so. This is evident not only from polls, which show Trump's approval rating at just 34% of Americans today, but also from actual election results.
"Trump is positioning himself to be a four-time loser in 2024," Sununu said.
In 2018, under Trump's lack of leadership, Republicans get absolutely routed in House elections. In 2020, Trump lost to Biden, and Republicans lost the Senate. The latter loss was directly attributable to Trump, as he went out of his way to torpedo two Republican Senate candidates in runoffs in Georgia because he kept telling Republican voters the system was rigged, giving the idea that voting was useless.
Then, in 2022, Republican Senate candidates Trump personally chose lost across the country, while Republican candidates not closely tied to Trump won. Alas, there were too many of the former, and Republicans lost a host of winnable races,...

I haven’t listened to the Rush since there is no Rush. The so called replacements are not of any interest to me.
They are an insult to Rush.
How do you come up with this figure?
Failed congressional candidate, and low-profile squish “conservative” reporter.
If Trump is taking all of this flak from the GOPe, all it means is that he’s over the target.
That said, I enjoy the primary level political knife fight as much as the next guy, and there’s no one who loves to play in that arena more than Trump. Barring ill health, he’s got the nom, the only questions are a) how much fun is there to be had up to that point b) Who’s going to be Veep candidate (Kennedy? Anyone?) and c) who gains sufficient prominence to be floated as a cabinet member (clearly what Ramaswamy is after)
Trump hasn’t lost any races and if you think he is at fault for midterm losses then you aren’t thinking straight.
If Trump is responsible for a loss of his own, then everyone running is also responsible for their own losses. You can’t have it both ways.w
We may have a candidate who isn’t responsible for either win of his.
Is that some sort of .... PLAN ???
Many of the fifty million are on the fence this time around, for the reasons you state.
50m is less than 30% of registered voters. Sounds like another one in the L column to me.
Give ‘em another twenty five years and they might approach Rush. When I was twenty I thought I knew everything. When I hit sixty I questioned if I knew anything. At my mid-seventies I’m just affirming the truth I learned from all of it.
Fortunately for Trump, he has a lock on a large plurality of GOP primary voters who no longer care about winning elections or advancing conservatism.
“I don’t want Trump to be President again of The United States because it won’t do any good.”
So go vote for Biden or one of the RINOS so you can co-exist with the RATS ( which means their way or highway).
I can’t. They either get smart now, or I will never listen to them. I may not live another 20 years.
I’m in Desantis’s corner, but if Trump wins the primary -and at this point I think he will- I will enthusiastically vote for him in the general.
You?
Just hide and watch.
Based upon human nature chances are “getting smart” is just another iteration of being foolish. Don’t lose sight of the real power behind the universe.
“Trump failed to do that.”
Due to massive fraud.
You need to get out more. Meet new people. Get different points of view. It IS a plan, and I’m guessing it’s about 60% complete by this time. Hide and watch.
Vote for Tokyo Rove’s candidate then. You deserve the Bush dynasty.
Oh, gimme a hint. If it is 60% done, when will it see the light? What was the stating date? Who's the "Planner?"
