The U.S. economy gained 517,000 jobs in January, 2023, and the unemployment rate declined to 3.4%, the lowest in 53 years. (A huge improvement over the 6.3% to which it had risen under the previous regime.) America has revived respect from the community of democratic nations. Woefully-neglected infrastructure renewal is finally being achieved. The American electorate showed its distaste for what the GOP has had to offer in the elections of 2018, 2020, and 2022. Its being responsible for the abhorrent abrogation of personal freedom Americans had enjoyed for half-a-century encapsulates the Party's retrogression. It is essential that it continue to wallow in the past it venerates and adhere to a grievance-driven agenda. Trump To His Followers: ‘I Am Your Retribution’ Republican presidential hopefuls, eager to end the ascendence of the RINOs of Trumpery who invaded the Grand Old Party in 2016, will stampede into the fray, incurring the hysterical ravings of the twice-impeached proven Loser who lies about losing and is worshiped by his lickspittles for doing so. The clay pigeon brigade is in the offing. Reagan's "Eleventh Commandment" will be as piously observed as the rectitude of rutting with bimbos behind the backs of trophy wives. The key to Democratic success is a vendetta-driven, petty narcissist preventing progress in the Republican Party. The auguries are auspicious. Of course, Trump's crowning achievement, making Mexico pay for his "big, beautiful wall," will be lavishly touted despite the inconvenience of its non-existence. "You know, the wall is built. We're doing record numbers at the wall... We did a great job in the wall. Remember, the wall, they said it could never be done. One of the largest infrastructure projects we've ever had in this country, and it's had a tremendous impact!" https://www.npr.org/2021/02/10/966396848/read-trumps-jan-6-speech-a-key-part-of-impeachment-trial It'll be fun. Democrats: Stand back and stand by!
One cogent factor in Trump's securing the GOP presidential nomination is his standing with the American public:
If Democrats want a pathetic Republican candidate like Trump because they think it gives them a better chance to win, then they don't care about the country any more than Trump. The best thing for the country is that both parties have decent, strong people running who both have great plans for the future of the country, anyone who wants anything other than that doesn't care about the country.
If any Democrat thinks Trump is easy to beat , they should look no further but 2016! I would like to see a competent, centrist GOP as candidate. But do they exist ?
Many patriotic Americans realize that electing a candidate who rejects democracy if he loses is a major threat to the nation, but what Democrats may hope for in a Republican nominee, or Republicans in a Democratic nominee, is of no consequence. As a partisan matter, Democrats are delighted as less-educated Republicans will continue to swallow the Loser's malarky, and enough of them voting (by mail, as the Loser now encourages, in an hilarious flip-flop) could prevent conservatives from reclaiming their Party. The magaloots' rage against mail-in voting and early voting that he had contrived was suddenly silenced. Trump’s attacks on mail ballots Trump embraces early votes and mail-in ballots This is the dynamic that could decide the 2024 GOP raceThe same fundamental dynamic that decided the 2016 Republican presidential primaries is already resurfacing as the 2024 contest takes shape. As in 2016, early polls of next year’s contest show the Republican electorate is again sharply dividing about Trump along lines of education. In both state and national surveys measuring support for the next Republican nomination, Trump is consistently running much better among GOP voters without a college education than among those with a four-year or graduate college degree. … Though the early 2024 polls have varied in whether they place Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the lead overall (with the latest round tilting mostly toward Trump), that same overriding pattern of educational polarization is appearing in virtually all of those surveys, a review of public and private polling data reveals. … Just as better-educated states tend to cast their electoral votes for Democratic candidates, better-educated Republicans prefer candidates who are not Trumpy.
You have to be very naive to think “what Democrats may hope for in a Republican nominee, or Republicans in a Democratic nominee, is of no consequence.”. There is enormous consequences to the country and to the world if the wrong person became POTUS. I supported Obama in 2008 election, I supported Obama again in 2012. I didn’t agree with McCain or Romney’s policy but I know, if either of them were president they would have lead the country competently. US Presidential election is 50/50 chance. If my guy win the election, great, but if he/s doesn’t win, I want a competent leader even someone I disagree to lead this country. The idea or hope that opposition party nominate an incompetent, uneducated person and we take 50/50 chance is like playing “Russian roulette” with future of the country.
I do not see how "hoping" by folks who have no impact upon a Party's nominee has any impact upon whom that Party nominates. Please explain how.
Oh , if it was just “ hope” and “wishful” thinking. In 2016 Trump did better in state with Open Primary then he did in closed primary. In state with Open Primary many Democrats voted for Trump because they thought “ Trump is a weak candidate to beat” in Nov 16. Same goes for GOP. Many Republicans voted for Bernie in open primary because they thought it will be easy to beat a Socialist then Clinton. Last year Democrat’s donner spent millions of dollars propping up “ election denier” in GOP primary. Adam Kinzinger was right when he gave his farewell speech. “To my Democratic colleagues, you too must bear the burden of our failures. Many of you have asked me ‘Where are all the good Republicans?’ Over the past two years, Democratic leadership had the opportunity to stand above the fray. Instead, they poured millions of dollars into the campaigns of MAGA Republicans, the same candidates President Biden called a national security threat, to ensure these good Republicans do not make it out of their respective primaries."
I expressed my opinion regarding a hope of Democrats that Trump is the GOP's presidential nominee in 2024. Having lost the 2020 election by over seven-million votes, lost his Party the Senate and House as well as the presidency in his single term, and having hyped losers that cost the Republican Party dearly in 2022, amidst multiple legal reckonings and dismal approval numbers, I understand the allure. I in no way suggested Democrats conspire to thwart normal Republicans. Ever.
