FLT-bird did a good job of addressing what I'm talking about.
Let's say, for the sake of discussion that all six states that Trump's team claimed cheating in did in fact have cheating, at a level that flipped the vote.
What is the strategy for winning next time? The Dem winning steak continued in most of those states throughout 2022. The Dems control the process in most or all of them.
Trump's team was not effective in challenging the cheating in 2020. And, i would say he wasn't effective in comminicating about it either. Sydney Powell sounded daft, all these claims about voting machines being rigged, that just sort of evaporated.
There are a couple possibilities: maybe the Dems have perfected vote cheating and these states are unavailable to the GOP now. No matter how strong the GOP candidates vote, the Dems will cheat enough to guarantee themselves victory. That's demotivating, if that's the case the country's elections are a farce, and it's pointless to waste time voting. Grim.
A more optimistic view is that the Dems have a limited ability to stuff. They can only flip close elections.
In that case you need a candidate who can win in a wave election, totally overcoming the cheating with a big margin of victory.
Trump had two elections and both were close. He only won in 2020 by about 80,000 votes in the Swing states. And then lost in 2022 in a super close race.
Because most people already have their minds made up about Trump, I expect a Trump 2024 race to end up like the last two. A close race, and close enough fur he Dems to steal in several states again.
That's why I'm own to someone else, someone who can create a wave and beat the 'margin of cheat".
My opinion Trump isn't that guy.
Unfortunately, I lean to the grim side. I don’t blame this on Trump, rather I blame it on the RNC machine. They are playing checkers and playing nice while the democrats play to win. They will lie, cheat and steal to get the W.
Trump can only affect so much. I don’t see DeSantis being a wave guy and I still have major concerns over who is funding him. MAJOR concerns. BUT, I continue to watch as things unfold and I am keeping an open mind.
