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.
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.
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.
Keeping the House in 2024 just got a lot harder unnecessarily thanks to Kavanaugh and Roberts.
As I previously said, weak beta boy Kavanaugh should have never be appointed to the Supreme court. He is obviously a Roberts mini-me.
We always knew Roberts was a snake with the Obamacare is just a tax ruling.
Roberts and Kavanaugh fucked healthcare workers in the vaccine mandate cases in January 2022.
Gorsuch was a complete travesty on the Bostock case.
Amy Barrett seems like a squish but we haven't seen her fuck up as much as Kavanaugh or Gorsuch yet.
Overall the three new "conservative" judges vastly pale in comparison to Thomas and Alito.
Fuck the Federalist Society for these picks.
This rhetoric sounds pretty good on paper I will admit but it is just not realistic when it comes to securing actual U.S. interests.
I guarantee you that every single America first politician would not let China takeover Taiwan freely because of the sheer importance of the semiconductor chips.
I am certain U.S. troops would likely die for securing Taiwan if there is a Chinese invasion under any of the two current 2024 GOP frontrunners: Trump and DeSantis.
Biden is openly an ally of China so only he would let China freely take Taiwan.
The vast majority of the GOP voterbase will only vote for a Christian.
Vivek is out of touch with reality if he ran for the GOP nomination not understanding this fact.
His economic policy is restoring financial sanity by stopping inflationary wasteful spending, revitalizing American industry, rebuilding American infrastructure and ensuring that the U.S. is energy independent.

Various companies like Disney donated to DeSantis and as well as to every single Florida politician but DeSantis still told them all to fuck off when they got involved in eroding parental rights. He is not beholden to any donors.
Meanwhile Trump 2024's Donald Jr. wanted to completely end the grassroots Budweiser boycott because Budweiser donated some money to Trump. It is clear who is beholden to donors.
DeSantis's #1 goal is defeating Joe Biden not defending women's spaces.
I won't be surprised if you end up being involuntarily committed in a mental health facility. For the sake of the people you live nearby, I just hope that you get some mental help before you go full kinetic.
The 2024 GOP candidate for President whether it is DeSantis or Trump must pledge to remove all and any trannies currently in the military.
Sanity must be restored back to the U.S. military.
Any sane individual understands how crucial Taiwan is to U.S. interests.
We absolutely need Taiwan micro-chips for our military and industrial production.
I am certain that Trump would have defended Taiwan in the event there was an invasion by China.
The fact you refer to DeSantis as DeSimptis for merely running for President shows you are a deranged clown.

Meanwhile in 2020 Northrop gave Trump $360,282 and they gave Biden $419,156.
We must not let the foot off the throttle when pushing back against these globalist woke corporations.
We must never tolerate weak candidates like Nikki Haley and Mike Pence who still have the audacity to say conservatives should not use any government power to stop woke companies like Disney.
These Bush era Chamber of Commerce shills need to be excised from the party.
Dems could argue they won Wyoming and West Virginia since there was no full audit there.
This is a retarded way of thinking.
The lack of an audit doesn't erase decades of political trends.
You are psychotic if you think any R can win statewide in CA and IL.
No R can win those states because Dems outnumber Republicans 2 to 1.
It is simple math.
The lack of a full audit means Trump can win all 50 states?
Insane pretzel logic.
Certain states are solidly red and certain states are solidly blue.
The lack of an audit doesn't change existing political trends.
It is stupid shit like this why people don't take actual instances of election fraud seriously.
If you are arguing about AZ, GA and Wi you have a case but arguing about CA and IL means you are delusional.
This would be like the Dems arguing they potentially won West Virginia and Wyoming in the presidential race since there was no audit there.
Illinois politics are wholly dominated by the major population center of Chicago.
Chicago is vastly skewed to the Dems in terms of numbers.
No Republican can win statewide in Illinois without Chicago magically disappearing.
Fraud is sadly not even necessary for Dems to win Illinois against any R.
The laptop story not being suppressed could have helped in winning swing states of AZ, GA and WI but there was ZERO percent chance of Trump winning any of the blue states. Biden could kick an adorable puppy on television and every Dem voter in every blue state would still have voted for him over Trump.
When people make absurd election fraud claims, it undermines all plausible instances of fraud.
If you argue mass mail in ballots narrowly tipped AZ, GA and WI over to Biden you have some evidence to claim that.
The Sidney Powell Dominion machine switching votes nonsense undermined plausible suspicious mail in ballots that could be supported with real evidence.
Lake is sadly destroying her career by amplifying and pushing this Greg Rubini retarded shit.
Greg Rubini is an ill man who needs mental help if he really believes this or merely a shameless grifter who should be kicked in the nuts.
Greg Rubini makes the outrageous claim that Trump won every single state in 2020.
https://twitter.com/GregRubini/status/1664419725785309185
Are you really going to say with a straight face that he is right?
He needs mental help and you need it too if you say you believe this insanity.
Kari Lake has sadly destroyed every chance of her ever winning a statewide race in the future.
She has raw political talent that she has completely wasted on focusing on some of the most insane election fraud claims that anyone has ever made.
Greg Rubini claims Trump won all 50 states in the U.S. and Biden only won D.C.
This man needs mental treatment.
https://twitter.com/GregRubini/status/1664419725785309185
This is the most insane fraud claim to amplify to all of your supporters and Lake is doing it?
Lake is insane.
They will never allow Whites to self-segregate thanks to the Civil Rights Act.
What you are yearning for is impossible.
These idiots are in positions of influence not only on the left but on the right.
The worst part is that this guy Dr. Darrell Scott is a senior advisor to Trump 2024.
This guy doesn't even understand basic math.
What a fucking clown parade.
Per capita is a simple concept. How is this clown not able to grasp this?
This pastor is a Trump advisor?
Now we know why Trump pushed the pandering to Blacks Platinum Plan and jailbreak First Step Act.
It is sad to see this as someone who voted for him twice and defended him from all the unfair criticism and hate he received from 2015-2022. By June of last year, I was done with his nonsense. Sane people can only stomach so much unnecessary bullshit.
I will never be a "Magadonian".
It is just not worth it anymore. We actually have an alternate competent sane option for President with great policy.
I tolerated Trump's antics because he was funny enough the best candidate on policy in 2016. Right now that is clearly not the case. I will take Ron DeSantis over this crap anyday of the week.
It is fine to avoid the Vietnam War. It is not fine to constantly act like a bigger badass than men who actually served their nation.
Trump avoids war by citing bonespurs and he has the audacity to bash all of his political rivals who were veterans as less tough than him.
This type of chickenhawk behavior is pathetic.
I am not a fan of John McCain but he still served his country. You can bash his political positions all you want but Trump mocked him as a loser who was captured. It was a pretty disgusting thing to do that certainly lost Trump at least some veterans' votes.
Jackson was a real Chad.
He didn't avoid military service unlike Trump.
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.
