Fox News Host Calls Trump a 'Whiner,' Begs Him to 'Stop Talking About 2020'
Newsweek ^ | July 21, 2023 | Aila Slisco

Posted on 07/21/2023 6:53:44 PM PDT by Reno89519

Former President Donald Trump is behaving like a "whiner" by obsessively focusing on false claims that he lost the 2020 presidential election due to massive fraud, according to Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

The conservative pundit urged Trump to "stop talking about 2020" if he wants to win the 2024 presidential election during the latest episode of The Ingraham Angle on Friday night, warning the ex-president that he would not win over "a single voter" if he does not change his tactics.

Ingraham also admonished Trump for launching attacks on Republican politicians in battleground states for failing to endorse him or being reluctant to swear their fealty, pointing out the former president's disparaging comments about Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp.

"Keep your eye on the prize: 270 electoral votes," Ingraham said, apparently addressing the former president directly. "Attacking popular Republican senators or governors in battleground states is more than unwise, it's self-destructive. Why do it?"

"Voters in a general election want to vote for a winner, not a whiner," she continued. "So please, for the love of God, stop talking about 2020. That will not bring a single voter out to support you who didn't support you before. You need to grow the pot, not shrink it."

...

Friday was not the first time that Ingraham has laid into Trump for continuing to focus on his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden. During a broadcast in March, the Fox News host said that "marinating in old claims of election fraud will not win over a single voter in any state that [Trump] needs to win in 2024."

Excellent advice from a smart lady.

Trump, being Trump, will ignore it enroute to losing the general.

"I wouldn’t call Trump a whiner, but agree he should stop talking about it. If he wants new voters, he needs to look forward."

Look forward to what? The two, oh, let's make it three indictments, and trials he's got coming up, and whatever else the DOJ can charge him with?

I had to stop listening to her radio show years ago. I couldn't stand her droning voice.

"I think Trump supporters are missing an important point: in 2 years, he has done little to change it."

How is he supposed to change the system by himself? Voter fraud didn't just start in 2020. It's been going on for ages, and it will take more than one man over two years to get it overhauled. Wouldn't it be nice if he had the support and help of the members of his own party, and the RNC itself...but they want nothing to do with it. They are happy the way things are, and showed their support by voting to sanction unlimited voter fraud on January 6th. They are part of the problem.

He talks about 2024 more than he talks about 2020. But hey, believe what you want. Reality sucks for your guy. On with the reboot, just like the old boot, all heel & no sole. 🤣

"As previously stated, the insults and bullying are turning away voters from the Trump camp for 2024."

Maybe it's turning you away, but I voted for Trump twice, because he is a fighter, and says what needs to be said, in the way it needs to be said. If you want someone touchy-feeling, who doesn't say harsh truths, then go vote for the George Bush clone who fills your needs.

"Another day and several more TDS posts from Reno."

Yet he whines when there are more pro Trump threads than pro-DeSantis threads. He wants equal time.

"You do know that Trump was never working with anyone touting “Kraken” don’t you?"

Don't try to enlighten people who spend their time repeating stuff they've heard or read somewhere else, without bothering to fact check it, before passing it on as factual information.

"She also advised DeSantis to quit talking so much about his accomplishments in Florida, although they are good."

The only reason DeSantis accomplished anything is because he's had a more than 2-1 Republican majority to make him look good. He needs to remember he didn't get all those things done by himself. If I he didn't have the support of the Republicans in the State Legislature, or if he had to deal with politically divided Houses, he'd have gotten very little accomplished. He's had it easy in Florida. He only served in a Republican House during his time in Washington, and he's only had a Republican-controlled Legislature to hand stamp all his requests.

"President Trump and his supporters - need to quit moaning, dry their tears, and focus on defeating President Joe “RobinUs” Biden next time around."

Because the extensive voter fraud that occurred in 2020, no longer exists, right?

Yet the other side is consumed with 2020.

If they weren’t they wouldn’t be throwing indictments at the 45th President like it was confetti.

After the election Trump met with Sidney Powell in the WH at least once and she held press conferences with Rudy Giulianni while he was working for Trump. The rally that Powell and Lin Wood held in GA wasn’t an official Trump sanctioned event and I don’t remember Trump’s response to it. I don’t recall any objection, but I am open to correction. While Powell promised the Kraken, she may have not been officially on the Trump team, but she was allowed to get close enough to give the impression she was. When she went completely rogue they made sure to distance themselves from her. Whether you call it working with Trump or not could be debated.

"Only cowards would look away. Trump is no coward."

Cowards, people with no soul or values, and those without a working brain, would easily turn their back on the 2020 election, pretend none of it ever happened, and encourage people to move on, thinking it could never happen again.

I voted for DJT three times. Your need to emulate Trump's insults does not sway me to vote for him a fourth time.
