The Donald needs to play the part: It's important to take a cold, hard look at why Trump lost in 2020, and why he'll probably lose in 2024 if he continues on his current path

First, I must state that I am not, have never been, and will never be a NeverTrump. I voted for the man twice and will gladly do so again if he wins the nomination. I'd like to see him in the Oval Office again because I believe it to be important for the soul of our country.

We need to show the conspirators who attempted to destroy his presidency that we will not stand for a coup of a duly elected administration. The Democrats and the Deep State used a hoax and a sham investigation in an attempt to prevent Trump's election, and then take down his presidency after elected. Their attempt to interfere in the peaceful transfer of power — beginning in 2015 and continuing through 2020 — must be met with consequences. A re-election of Donald Trump would signal their failure and the commencement of consequences — as delivered by a president who will never run for election again.

Having said all of that, it's important to take a cold, hard look at why Trump lost in 2020, and why he'll probably lose in 2024 if he continues on his current path. There's plenty of time for a course correction. However, it does require a correction — a change.

I don't believe for a nanosecond that "Dementia" Joe actually got 81 million votes with a basement campaign. Unfortunately, the election was close enough to be stolen — and it probably was, with unconstitutional rules changes and questionable ballot-harvesting.

What a load of nonsense. The man got 12 million more REAL votes in 2020 than 2016. Is it even possible for 158,429,631 REAL votes in a presidential election. According to Statista 168M people are registered to vote in the United States. That’s a 94% voting rate of registered in 2020 & that was up 15M ovewr 2016.

The 2020 presidential election had the highest voter turnout of the 21st century, with 66.8% of citizens 18 years and older voting in the election, according to new voting and registration tables released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Does anyone REALLY believe that 66% of all CITIZENS 18 & over cast a ballot?

NO F@CKING WAY!

I will continually vote for Trump whether he is on the ballot or not. The idea of Trump is too important. If the swamp gets to pick our nominees. We are no better than Russia or China. For me its Trump or nobody. I just don’t care anymore. Republicans can lose, I don’t care. A rino is not better than a democrat.

He got more votes in 2020… that makes zero sense. Ballot harvesting is why he lost. So there are much bigger issues that Trump cannot control that hampered his efforts.

Yeah, we already did. But thanks for playing along.

I will vote for him even if he doesn't get the nomination, a vote for anyone else is a victory for the uniparty.

Trump “lost” in 2020 because they cheated. Plain and simple.

[Stepan12]

The article is thought provoking. I am not a never Trumper (I voted for the guy twice), but the article is worth The Donald pondering it.

I'm going to look into trade marking these kind of phrases so all of the lying TDS'rs have to pay me to use them.

[MeganC]

American Stinker is sure pessimistic on Trump and conservatives lately.

[lastchance]

Good luck trying to point out that Trump has faults that had long ranging consequences not at all favorable to him.

[lastchance]

Do you not pay attention? How does stating he will NEVER be a Never Trumper be an admission of being one?

[central_va]

The 2020 election was close because people were tired of Trump's behavior. The electorate loved his policies, but they didn't like his childishness. The bragging, name-calling, and needless picking of fights became tiring.

Total BS. It was stolen. There will be fraud again in '24 but not at the level of '20. '20 was a one off. That is my take.

[lastchance]

It is likely to stay that way.

[BlackbirdSST]

Good catch. Post it often.

I normally like the American Thinker articles and believe that most have been well thought out! But not this Green article! He is so far off the mark that American Thinker should consider his retirement.

The 2020 election was won by Trump with an overwhelming number of votes for an incumbent president (a new record I believe). He won except for one thing, the democrats (and deep state) not only cheated beyond belief but they also managed to infiltrate and control all segments of government insuring no challenge to the fraudulent election.

Quite a bit of the government infiltration was Trump's fault IMHO. He appointed many people who were not dedicated starting with Sessions and included Barr and Wray. I certainly hope that he improves his appointee vetting when he takes over in '25..

Uhh what?

The guy who labeled Mitt Romney as a “Master troll” just last year? HARD PASS LOFL.
