2024 GOP Presidential Race (12 Viewers)

[SteveSBrickNJ]

Many of Trump's endorsed candidates did not do well on Nov. 8th.
*
Gov. Ron DeSantis DID do well.
He won convincingly.
Yet in this OP's opinion, Donald Trump is an egomaniac who is seemingly incapable of putting "Party over Self"
Trump has ZERO chance of being elected our next president.
In my opinion, if Trump would just shut up and go away (fat chance of that)...but "if" Trump did that, Gov. Ron DeSantis would have a CHANCE to be a formidable candidate for President in 2024.
Here is an interesting article on this topic...

Not listening, but chuckled at this Michael Steele tweet:

Now he's kind of rambling.

Democratic cities are "cesspools of blood!"

Here comes the bait portion mentioning CRT and gender stuff.

Its a decision made from strictly a political calculation and its premise is simple, Trump isn't a winning formula, attaching your political fortunes or future success around Trump's messages or policies or echoing or re-mentioning his rhetorical, idiotic nonsense won't win elections, it might energize rabid diehards, fringe lunatics but you'll lose moderates, independents to your opposing party's candidate in whatever elections you try to win.

If this is his message for his campaign it’s pretty perfect. The Trumpers have been primed for years to think of themselves as victims, they wallow in their victimhood.

Amazingly did not talk about stolen elections in referencing the midterms just said the citizens don't fully realize how badly the Democrats are doing.

"Keeping it elegant" and not using the term "FAKE NEWS"

Callin moderates and swing voters stupid is definitely a tactic.

Trump is unworthy of the Republican nomination.

Even though I can’t stand listening to Trump, I’m sure the Democrats are hoping for him to win the nomination! Biden is not a strong candidate, and Trump will give the Dems the best chance to win the 2024 election!

I didn’t watch any of the announcement today. Question, was Melania there today?

If he runs. The republicans have no chance. What can they do though? The party is split between magas and traditional conservatives. We can survive the latter. we can't the former.

Yes.

I'm curious to see what Trump tries differently this time. There is no way he can roll out the same message and expand his voting demographic enough to win in 24. I did see something a little different though, he kept talking about how bad covid was instead of being dismissive about it. What blows me away about Trump is that he'd be in a favorable spot in his party if he just adopted the "Aw shucks man, we fell short and lost the election. I'll have to regroup and think about my political future."

Instead, he kept saying it was stolen, kept talking about election fraud which I believe turned off a lot of people. I'm not even sure he can get those voters back at this point.

Trump claims to have “gone decades without a war - the first president to do it for that long a period.”

He was president for four years.

They say if he becomes president, there will never be a war within weeks.
