Trump separated himself from the pack in 2016 by campaigning on building the wall, deporting illegals, draining the swamp, and locking up Hillary.
If he tries running on the same or similar issues this time around, the stench of bullshit will be too much to ignore except for his most devoted followers.
IMO, he'll probably run on "I'm not Biden," and I'm sure with how bad Biden is, he'll win just off of that.
The sad part is, this will be another wasted election to try and get an actual change candidate who won't sell out as much. Too bad Rand Paul has a terrible sense of what grassroots Republican voters want. Last time around, he was pandering to try in bring in more black voters. Fucking eh, what a mess.
If he is the nominee for 2024 he will mainly run on his personal grievances like "the election was stolen from me in 2020".
Trump will sadly turn off so many swing voters unnecessarily.
I don't think Trump can win a presidential race ever again with how many people now blindly hate him.
I pray our 2024 primary voters learn a lesson this Tuesday after they see Mastriano lose PA governor.
To maximize our chances of winning in 2024 we need someone new like Ron DeSantis or hell even Kari Lake or Glenn Youngkin.
Rand Paul is really bad at campaigning so he is not preferable at all.
This reads like a press release straight from Con Inc. That is a gross underestimate of Trump's cult and overestimate of spreadsheet Americans. Trump isn't some great bastion of based, but his arc still has a third act.
I despise Con Inc and I just want to win 2024.
Don't you dare lump me in with scumbag Bushites who want someone for 2024 like Larry Hogan or Liz Cheney.
Trump's third act would end up ushering in a second term of Biden or whatever other shit Dem they run.
Trump's cult is absolutely delusional about his 2024 chances.
A 78 year old Trump running again is an asinine idea.
I agree 100%. He's running, though. His first shot at DeSantis came like yesterday or somewhere in the last few days, calling him "Ron DeSanctimonious." Trump is expected to declare after the midterms, but who knows whether or not DeSantis will run, though he's being courted by rich R donors.
A strong contender could actually discredit and defeat Trump in primaries. But if/when one does, he'd better lay off the bullshit scandals and especially the Jan 6 lie.
Who? Prior to Trump announcing in his run for 2016, many thought the Republican primaries were stacked. He dismantled them all thoroughly, so hard that Cruz almost lost to Beto afterwards. If you think that won't happen to DeSantis or whomever else wants to try, I've got a bridge real cheap
If Trump wants to run, he's the nominee
