Trump cannot fight a war if he cannot get elected. His behavior is costing him support. I’m to the right of at least 80% of America and he’s lost mine. I’d vote for him in the general but won’t vote for him in the primary. I know two members of my family who voted for him in 2020 (but refused in 2016) and they won’t vote for him period. It took a lot of talking to convince them to vote for Trump in 2020 and they won’t budge in 2024.
Trump is shooting himself. No one is attacking him. It is what HE is posting that is driving people away. And I honestly don’t think he could have won a majority anyways after Jan 2021. I didn’t give a horse fart about 6 Jan - but that cost Trump. In America, Trump would have won by at most 52-48. If he loses 10% of his potential voters, his max is stuck at 47%. That’s called “losing”.
You make some good points. And I agree that his delivery is not the best, but don’t agree that no one is attacking him. EVERYONE is attacking him—24/7. I’ve never seen anyone who has been attacked in every possible way in every area of his life the way he has and us still standing. His style isn’t my style but he is a strong ombre, knows what he’s up against (many other politicians and world leaders are horrible people. Corrupt in ways we can’t even fathom.) and is willing to risk his comfortable life and even actual life (b/c I do think there’s a risk) to keep the country from falling even further into the hands of very bad people worldwide. The rest may talk nice and present themselves well but are not doing such nice things behind the scenes. They are slick. Trump is not slick—he’s straightforward which people don’t like. They would rather have a smooth talker who lies to them. What can I say, most politicians are sociopaths.
Now don’t go and be sensible there
