If Trump was a real threat to them, they would have done that.
The Dems want him to be the GOP nominee in 2024.
They will keep on indicting him in various cases and try to get the GOP base to rally around him.
The criminal justice system should never be weaponized like this for political purposes. It is horrendous.
These indictments may boost Trump in the primary somewhat but they will be a complete albatross around his neck in a general election. He has no pathway to 270 in 2024.
If Trump is the nominee in 2024, his story will sadly end with him dying in federal prison. A horrific end for a President.
Trump needs a GOP presidency win in 2024 to get pardoned and live freely.
He himself can't win a general election with the cloud of indictments around him.
The best case for Trump is that he loses the primary and he gets pardoned by a new GOP President in 2025.
Oh you sweet summer child. You still really believe the dems wouldn't stoop so low as rigging elections. They wont kill him out of fear of martyring him.
They are not afraid of creating martyrs.
Remember JFK?
They clearly see Trump as the easiest opponent for the Dems and they will do whatever it takes to run against him.
All of these indictments serve one purpose. Get the GOP base to rally around Trump and make him the 2024 nominee.
In a general election, these indictments will destroy any hope of a Trump victory. They don't even need to rig an election anymore when they can point to these cases and constantly brand Trump as a criminal traitor.
The Dems are clearly planning on convicting Trump and sending him to die in prison after the 2024 election.
This weaponization of indictments is horrific for the country's rule of law.
Anything is an easy opponent when you can ballot stuff. Also people are generally much more aware of the rampant corruption, and are even more aware of this stupid kangaroor court, and I don't even like poll posting but this has been consistent since the first indictment, and it aint going down.. But lo speak out against the current administration and the fed will knock on your doors.
Polls are a tool to shape public opinion not measure it.
The Rasmussen Twitter account is openly advocating for Trump to win the nomination. They are the furthest thing away from a neutral source.
I would not trust ANY poll regardless of whether it supports my pre-existing views or not.
I'd say Trump's odds are good if the Ds are stupid enough to railroad Kennedy out and push Dementia Joe forward, which is what it looks like they're doing so far, given that corporate media's ignoring him for the most part. He's campaigning on podcasts--an astute tactic.
If they manage to exhibit a modicum of sense and pretend like their primaries meant anything I would vote Kennedy, simply for his declared stance on censorship, the war machine, the bureaucratic/deep sate and big pharma.
I like RFK Jr. but we know the Dems will never primary their incumbent Biden.
How do you seriously believe that Trump has a good shot at beating Biden?
Nothing has really changed in terms of improving election integrity in the three main swing states that matter: AZ, WI and GA.
I constantly hear that Trump had the election "stolen" from him as an incumbent but at the same time you guys seem to believe that he can stop it this time as a powerless challenger?
The truth of the matter is that Trump also has more baggage than ever with these indictments and J6 stigma.
Normies ate up the J6 narrative and they will not vote for someone with indictments even If the charges were being weaponized by the Dems.
This is the facts of the situation: the only good news for us is that Independents don't really like sleepy Joe. The awful thing is that the one major political figure indies hate more than Joe is Donald Trump.
Does no one here live in suburbia or talk to normies or just people who are not MAGA?
Normies and people in suburbia may dislike Joe but they absolutely hate Trump.
We need to win some of these people to win a general election.
Someone like DeSantis or Youngkin or hell even Tim Scott has a shot at winning these people over. Trump is vehemently despised by these people.
Trump sadly has no shot of winning against Joe Biden in a general when these normies and indies will hold their noses and begrudgingly vote for Joe who they dislike but they will rather stomach Joe than have Trump.
All the working class people I talk to--most are black--are Trump supporters, but this really doesn't justify any predictions.
If everyone you speak to is working class and is a Trump supporter than you are not dealing with a sample that is representative of the country.
Why would independents who didn't support him initially suddenly support him because of these indictments? You need independents to win the general election and this doesn't help him at all with them.
These indictments maybe somewhat helpful in a primary but not in a general election because independents already have a negative view of Trump and these indictments only reinforce their initial negative views.
These indictments have sadly guaranteed a Trump loss in the general election and anyone who thinks otherwise is out of his or her mind.
Regardless of these indictments, Ron DeSantis would still be running. He understands that Trump cannot win a general election and this is his time to run.
DeSantis is not banking on these indictments stopping Trump in the primary. DeSantis knows that his only path to the nomination is beating Trump fair and square in a primary.
These indictments are intended to strengthen Trump in a primary and harm him considerably in a general.
We will see what happens in 2024 with regards to the nomination but I can promise you this: If Trump is the nominee, he will definitely lose the general election.
Independents are either 'independent', or independent. And drop this tired old conservative cliche of 'he lost because more people voted against him' anyone is an easy opponent if you can keep rigging the ballots, **without consequences **
