He hasn't changed. I haven't noticed a change in his behavior since around 2018. Yes he's "softer" in his speeches... but he's been that way for years, I don't know how people didn't see this.
I see no evidence that Trump is poison to independent voters or suburban voters. His biggest weakness is unmarried suburban white women, many of whom are on the Trump Train due to issues involving schooling.
Look I know this is part of your shtick as a OnlyTrumper for 2024.
You live in an imaginary world where you think 2022 Trump is the same as 2016 Trump.
The man has changed.
He will get slaughtered in all the swing states in a general election.
Trump being popular among the Republican base does not counter his fatal flaw of being absolute poison to independent voters and suburban voters.
I see no indication that he will stop his current cacophony of complaining which will further drag him down with these groups.
My position is clear, I would rather not run the 78 year old version of Trump who constantly cries about everything being unfair against him.
At this point I don't care if DeSantis is the candidate.
It can be someone new.
I just don't want to live through the horrific consequences of the failure that is a Trump 2024 run

I'll tell you what. Let's compromise:
Donald Trump Jr. for 2024
You are psychotic if you are seriously proposing Trump's son for 2024 who has much less charisma and even worse decision making skill than even him.
That man is engaged to the tranny looking ex wife of Gavin Newsom for fucks sake.
The Trump brand today definitely repulses suburban voters and independent voters.
Go look at how Trump's handpicked house of representative picks performed in even red leaning states like Ohio or North Carolina.
These states didn't count for weeks.
Go look at J.R. Majewski, Madison Gesiotto Gilbert and Bo Hines who ran in key districts in Ohio and North Carolina.
All three lost solely due to doing terrible with suburban voters and independent voters.
All three focused their campaigns entirely on how they were part of the Trump brand.
Fucking J.R. Majewski styled his lawn to look like a Trump banner and he couldn't win in Ohio!
You can't blame their losses all on the point that the establishment GOP didn't fund them because Trump himself has plenty money to fund them.
Why didn't Trump fund them?
He rather complain and kvetch about things being unfair against him but he never will take the necessary action to actually fix the problems.
You are acting like the blind Trump cultists on Patriots.win.
Why did you separate every sentence with a line break? And calm down, it was a passing joke about Donald Trump Jr. Don't actually get triggered.
And I'd like to see the difference between JR Majewski and JD Vance to absolutely blew the fuck out of Tim Ryan, and is a staunch populist.
As far as Trump's funding, it may not be great, but that's what you're supposed to have an RNC for in the first place.
I am using my phone to type, it fucks with the formatting
Trump attacks some of the GOP establishment clowns everyday but he expects the RNC establishment clown organization to fund his candidates?
How does that make any sense?
Trump should have been funding his own handpicked candidates.
The fact that he didn't bother to fund them shows he is either not competent or not serious about fixing the country. Either of which is disturbing.
JD Vance underperformed heavily against Tim Ryan because Vance had a terrible ground game.
I love Vance's rhetoric and policies but his campaigning was subpar.
DeWine is an establishment rat but he carried Vance across the finish line with his large margin win coattails.
