“Are you kidding? You don’t think Trump beats Biden? I mean even the Trump resistant votes for him behind closed curtain”
_________________________________________________

Here’s the concern. All these swing state polls mentioned in the article show Trump stuck in the mid to upper 40 percentile range. With as weak as the feeble Biden is, any credible GOP nominee should be leading with 55 - 60% in the polls today.

In 2020, Trump carried 46.8% of the popular vote, which should be considered his high water mark, as the electorate has strong feelings about Trump, and no one is changing their mind either way.

At a time when Trump should be attempting to expand his base and reach out to independents and suburban moderates in preparation for the General Election, for his own reasons he is moving in the opposite direction. I wonder how many suburban GOP women appreciate seeing him call a female rival “bird brain” and mock her dress? I wonder how many Italian Americans appreciated seeing Trump mock Ron DeSantis’ name for a full year. Why would Trump say Haley’s voters are not welcome in the MAGA movement, like he did last week? Why would he mock John McCain and his AZ GOP supporters by saying “I like war heroes who don’t get captured”?

As weak and corrupt as Biden is, his Democrat turnout machine remains as formidable as ever, especially in Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, Fulton County, Maricopa County and a few other strategic Democrat bastions.

I remain hopeful that someone may be able to remind Trump that a General Election strategy is quite different than bludgeoning a few GOP rivals with tens of millions of dollars in vicious attack ads.
