The Primary is Over
American Thinker ^ | October 1, 2023 | Matt Kane

Posted on 10/20/2023 6:44:50 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

The Republican primary race is over.  While the first official vote cast for the Republican nominee is still roughly three months away, the smears, mugshots, indictments, and other inevitable political tricks to come against Trump will not prevent him from winning the Republican nomination for president for a third time, and easily.  Trump’s increasing strength signals that voters won’t settle for “just any Republican.” If Republican candidates truly want to ensure Biden (or another Democrat) is denied a chance to continue his carnage, they should drop out immediately and rally behind Trump.  While you shouldn’t count on that happening, that doesn’t invalidate the many reasons why this race ended long before it even started.

A healthy amount of both national and state-level polling shows historic support for a non-incumbent.  Polls can’t be fully trusted, but if all are showing similar figures it gives them at least some level of legitimacy.  Even in a field with a double-digit number of candidates, Trump has already secured the majority or close to it.  For reference, he entered the 2016 race with around 10-12% support and won the nomination with just 44% of the vote.  If anyone else had his current polls during any past primary in such a crowded field, there would be calls for all candidates to drop out to build as much party momentum as possible to defeat the Democrat nominee.  This makes Republicans challenging Trump pure hypocrites when they speak about “coming together,” “party unity,” and “winning the general,” since they are attempting to beat the candidate who is already in the best position to achieve these things.  . .

I disagree. Too much time left and I don't trust he will remain safe.

We need a fallback if they take Trump out.

Stupid troll. You're not even good at it. This is the same repetitive nonsense as every other TDS troll.

How the heck has this troll been missed?! 19 posts since 2016 (as of this posting)!
Obviously another real troll here just to throw meat into the ring for TDSers to go rabid.
The name should have been a giveaway.
