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.
Trump attacks some of the GOP establishment clowns everyday but he expects the RNC establishment clown organization to fund his candidates?
Not many people expected Mitch McConnel to go full "Kill the Republican Party to save the Bureaucracy". McConnel has previously worked with Trump, but this is a clear effort where he's working actively against Trump at this point, to the benefit of the Democratic Party over everything else. This is just the latest degeneration of that relationship.
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.
Underperformed? Are you high? He got 56% of the vote. That's what Sharrod Brown (D) won with back in 2018 in his Senate race. DeWine got the votes he did because of the overall trend to Republicans. While DeWine got 200,000 more votes from 2018, the Dem candidate lost nearly 500,000. Now, I'll grant you, DeWine needs to be replaced because he pushed the lockdowns in Ohio, but was so worthless that literally everyone ignored him and went about their merry way in defiance of his executive orders, all while the cops refused to enforce it. But that's not a surprise from a whiny, weak, slimy, bitch: he's easy to counter.
The biggest problem with JD Vance is that almost nobody had heard of him. I didn't even know who he was until I realized he wrote Hillbilly Eulogy. But to describe Mike DeWine as carrying him over the finish line? That's just nonsense. The man is a charisma vacuum. I didn't even know DeWine was running, nor did I know that he had a Democratic opponent (because that hasn't always been the case) until voting day. The Dems put 100% of their ground game into winning Portman's seat from Vance.

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

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.
