Oh it certainly is deliberate. The media and the left, (but I repeat myself) desperately want Trump as the nominee. The media because he SELLS their content and the left because they know how incredibly weak Biden is and believe Trump is the nominee he has the best chance against.
Just look at mainstream media messaging around Trump this year. He isn't orange Hitler anymore; they've toned the rhetoric waaay down. Remember when freaking CNN even gave him a Town Hall platform back in May?
And their plan has worked to perfection. Just go back and compare when Trump's poll numbers took off to when the indictments started to drop. Republicans have rallied around Trump because he is clearly being unfairly persecuted by the left and supporting someone in that situation is practically instinctual.
I personally believe that pretty much any of the other Republican candidates would have a better shot against Biden in the general than Trump. I know that opinion is going to be unpopular here, but I just can't see how it's not the truth. I'm not saying Trump can't win the general -- he can -- it's just that if he does it will probably be a narrow thing and everything will have to go right for him. Biden will probably not even debate Trump "You didn't even attend the Republican debates", he'll say. Biden will just hang out in his basement like he did in 2020 and the MSM will run his campaign for him. The entire election cycle will be about Donald Trump and Jan 6th, rather than Joe Biden's disastrous presidency.
Biden is so weak that any candidate without Trump's baggage is going to have a very good chance at the general. The left know this, and thus we have all the indictments.
Incidentally the indictments do double duty for the leftists. First, they greatly increase the chance of Trump's nomination, which they want. Second, they completely hamstring Trump's campaign. He's going to have to spend a huge chunk of his campaign financing on legal defense. He's going to have to spend a lot of time in court. It all means a much weaker republican campaign and a much greater chance of a Biden second term. As much as I loathe leftist ideology the elite pushing their agenda are not fools. The Trump indictments are a brilliantly nefarious bit of election engineering.
I remember how excited the country was for Obama in '08. I remember the huge rallies, the general excitement and optimism around him. It wasn't like Kerry or Gore.
That was nothing compared to the spontaneous parades, rallies, and parties for Trump in '20. The dude got 13 million more votes than he did in '16. And we're supposed to believe that people hated him so much that 17 million more than in '16 voted against him/for Biden, a guy who spent half of his 5 total campaign events berating his constituents or challenging them to push-up contests.
Sorry, I don't believe it. I think anyone who thinks one of the other clowns on the Republican debate stage last night has a chance to capture a significant amount of the MAGA base is delusional.
I predict 80+ million votes for Trump this time around, and 90+ million for whatever Democrat ends up running. They're going to have to blow the lid off of fake ballot printing and lay the scam bare for everyone to see.
Ah so this is why /b/ is filled with this pic.
It's quite the comeback!
All these indictments have made it impossible for the Republican nominee to be anyone but Trump. I'm only half-convinced it was deliberate.
