2024 is Evolving into a Trump vs. Not-Trump Election
American Thinker ^ | 05/17/2023 | Steve McCann

Posted on 05/17/2023 7:10:41 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Never in the two and a half centuries of American history has one person concurrently dominated and overshadowed both major political parties as does Donald J. Trump.

Trump’s dominance in the Republican Party is an outgrowth of his imperturbable and flamboyant personality, his unprecedented 2016 campaign and his overwhelmingly successful presidency which was derailed in its final months by the Covid-19 pandemic.

His stature in the party is such that virtually every Republican candidate for federal office seeks his approbation and endorsement.  Despite losing in 2020, his hold on a sizable segment of the Republican base is unparalleled in the annals of the Republican party.  Not since Franklin Roosevelt has someone so dominated a major American political party.  As it stands today, per all the national polls, Trump can easily win the Republican nomination for president.

Among 30% of Republican primary voters Trump has achieved cultlike status, as these voters claim they would vote for him if he ran as an independent even if that meant Joe Biden would be re-elected and the Democrats would regain control of both Houses of Congress.

Since 2016, the raison d’etre of the Democrat party and its hierarchy has been the unrestrained obsession to permanently defeat and dispatch Donald Trump. A fixation so all-consuming that the party leadership purposefully exploited the Covid-19 pandemic, thereby causing countless avoidable fatalities and senseless economic destruction. Further, they willingly entered into a de facto alliance with the American Marxists to defeat Trump. They are a vile faction whose stated goal is to transform the nation and overthrow this same Democrat Party hierarchy.

In 2024, the entirety of the Democrat Party’s electoral strategy revolves around Trump regardless of whom the Democrats nominate. Which is why a failed, senescent, stumbling and incompetent reprobate, Joe Biden, is being touted as their nominee.

Or stated another way, do you wanted a failed elderly decrepit demented criminal or do you want a previous President who has an outstanding track record.

I still don’t understand people who are really hurting financially voting for Biden. How can someone justify that? They know that even if Trump sends mean tweets, that the price of food, gasoline, electricity, pretty much EVERYTHING cost less because of Trump’s economic policies. Who wants more of Biden’s economy? It’s been disastrous.

Oh I think they’d rather have a bad economy than mean Tweets, whites believe it’s ok for them to suffer because Slavery or something. Of course they mean other whites, not themselves.

I will write his name in if I have to.

Though what really matters is who counts the votes, as we have seen time and time again.

Trump needs to run on his record and cut out all the name calling. Force Biden to run on his record.

Trump is our last chance. The hill to die on (or live on).

Agree. Trump is highly capable and has proven he can run our economy. He just cannot shut his mouth.
