Short memory I see, forgot how Trump could not win in 2016 and how most the MSM polls showed him losing massively?

I am not even a Trump fan but I know enough to challenge the uni-party narrative.

I read the Trump indictment from GA, it is embarrassing even for a third world banana republic, yet people here selectively lend credibility to all those organizations (like the MSM) who parrot the GA indictment and the propaganda the MSM produces in support of elections.

Simple test, if Trump was such an absolute loser for the 2024 general, why the risk of such an obvious and egregious persecution of Trump in GA? Apparently the democrats do not believe Trump is a guaranteed loser.

Regimes do not waste their time on opposition that poses no threat.

The democrats have set Donald up perfectly. They know that by making him the nominee, they stand the best chances of winning big in ‘24. They know that he has a solid base that will sweep him to the nomination. But that base will not likely expand...and that it will not have coattails.

I haven’t read the indictment in GA yet, and I haven’t expressed an opinion on it. I do think that it’s dangerous for local county DAs to get entangled in this stuff. I also think it’s a joke to indict someone for something they think or said—especially if it is not in their jurisdiction.

The clumsy way this DA has driven this week’s events reinforces my perception of local county DAs as political wannabes and usually incompetent. The clerical “error” on Monday afternoon just screams that these people are nothing more than a comedy show—with some scary power.

I simply think it’s important to look at all of these polls with a skeptical eye. I spent years doing focus groups and reading surveys. One of the things that was important during that process was to make sure the information you are getting is accurate AND to deal with the issues—not try to explain away “why” the respondents did not understand what they felt.

People are going to feel what they feel—and that is the target. If they don’t feel the way you want them to, you need to work on your messagings and determine what could change their mind. Any poll suggesting 2/3 of the respondents are not likely to buy the product—even if the poll has flaws—doesn’t bode well for success.

I don’t like Trump. Not gonna vote for him.

—He is too old.
—He would be a lame duck on Day 1.
—He is likely to lose Congress.
—He becomes the target, instead of national issues.
—He won’t be able to attract good people for his cabinet/He is a horrible personnel manager.
—He is a “debt” guy. We need a fiscal conservative.
