Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden and Green Party presidential candidate Cornell West in a hypothetical three-way race for the White House, according to a national Emerson College poll.
The poll also gauged the Republican presidential primary, finding that Trump maintains a colossal advantage with 56 percent support. Former Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) support has dropped off 11 points since June 20, when he registered at 21 percent. While he looks to stop the hemorrhaging, he finds himself tied with the surging 37-year-old entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy at ten percent. Ramaswamy is up eight points since June.

The fact that we still have to shake some people on our side to see the truth after almost eight years is mind boggling. The Republican Party and many in the conservative movement are total frauds!
So bidens good to go? No need for him to debate in late 2024 against trump. Good to know.
Does Trump want to debate Briben if he is the nominee? Skipping the RNC debates will be that invalid’s excuse for skipping any debates with Trump. “he wouldn’t even debate his own fellow Republicans...”
RE: Bud, why should he go and allow the moderators to be the
extra pseudo candidate, trashing him constantly throughout?
Agree.
Nearly all the times in history I thought the leader should refuse outright to debate. Let them put an empty chair to ridicule as in governor or mayoral races. Who cares? There’s always a line or an error the candidates regret. (Dukakis pondering if the potential rape of his wife should get one reply or another, et al.)
Richard Nixon used to quote the line:
No one ever lost an election over the speech they didn’t make.
Hate CNN but this is a good summary of words that flow out of the mouth and can never be recovered.
Note: I know this is a runup to later actual 2 contender debates but great harm can be done in the early ones, too.

That’s my take also.
He deserves some daggers. He should have to answer to his coronavirus disaster.
They guy is at 55% of the poling now. You do realize that
right?
Do you think that 55% is going to plummet if he doesn’t attend
the debates?
Most folks can remember back four years. They’ve seen the
moderators abuse their position.
It’s just pointless for him to attend.
So Trump should hide in his gold plated mansion?
“Hypothetical” lol
RDS isn’t going to drop out 6 months before Iowa, based on daily push polls. His internal polling tells a different story. Trump’s internal polling tells a different story too. One that has Trump begging TWICE now for the other candidates to drop out. Funny, he didn’t beg anyone to drop out in 2020.
Remember when Trump was publicly saying that Biden was too scared to debate him repeatedly, and Biden debated him? Me too.
I just think it’d get him to 70 percent. He needs to get the other 45 percent on board.
Everyone know what Trump is like, by now....
Why should he bother with the faux news rnc debate right now, where the candidates are basically fighting over the support of the nevertrumpers?
Emerson poll (16 Aug - 17 Aug)
Trump 42
Biden 41
West 5
RDS isn’t going to drop out 6 months before Iowa, based on daily push polls. His internal polling tells a different story.
The only reason desanctimonious hasn’t dropped out, is he’s sold obligations to the uniparty so he could get support to run from the uniparty.
And jeff roe hasn’t grifted the rest of the 100 or so million remaining in the superpac into his pockets.
Well, roe got about 15-20 million of that already, so it’s probably closer to about 60-70 million remaining
Do we really know who Vivek Ramaswamy is? Out of 5 times he could have voted for President he has only voted 2 times, one vote was for a Librarian candidate in 2004 and Trump in 2020. He’s not politicly engaged. I can’t take someone like that seriously for President.
God, but your shit is getting old.

Deep breaths, going outside to swelter.
Hahaha...He’s not predictable. That’s just one of the many reasons the people love him and the Repukes hate him. They either turn their fire towards each other or talk about Trump. Trump can also take the steam by truthing in the middle of the debate something along the lines or, there is definitely a clear front runner for the VP position. He should do it when Scott Vivek and Hailey answer a question in close succession. He’d probably win the news cycle just with that.
You should GFY, seriously. Just do it.
IF DeSantis had an ounce of pride and self respect, he would shut down his campaign and throw his full support behind President Trump.
Perhaps you can explain to me and others how it will benefit
Trump to have every question to him delivered with a three
minute slam of him based on Leftist ideology.
They will undoubtedly do their best to taint any jury pool
people they can. They will make it sound like he’s a
terrible tyrant criminal misogynist rapist terrorist and
Russian collusionist.

Okay this evening we are going to address real issues that
are troubling US potential voters this campaign season.
Candidates:
Please tell us your views about whether a person with four
indictments with close to 40 counts, and more on the way,
hanging over his head should be able to run for president.
Candidates:
Please tell us if a person found guilty of just one of
hundreds of counts brought against him, should be able to
hold the office of president?
Candidates:
Please tell us if you think a candidate with many charges
brought against him should be able to run for the
presidency. If grand jurists think a person is likely
guilty, should that person step down from being a
candidate?
Candidates:
Would such a candidate be qualified to be president?
Candidates:
A candidate found guilty of defaming a woman who had called
him a rapist for 20 years, but was defeated in court when
asked to prove it, why was he only fined $500,000 dollars?
Candidates:
With this award against a candidate, does it make it
unseemly for him to be running for president, with his
integrity so destroyed?
- - - - -
You think 60-90 minutes of this would move Trump’s numbers
to 70.00%?
I think those that support Trump are able to understand
why he would not subject himself to this.
