Donald Trump September 2021 is NOT the same Trump of last year….
At least not in the support/approval among his party members…
Yes…
The Big Guy leads the 2024 Republicans looking to be the parties Presidential nominee…
But the Trump that had 80% to 90% approval ratings?
Only had 63% of his party people think he should ‘be the leader’ of their party…..
Donald Trump IS fading among his party’s people ….
There is NO doubt….
It would appear that his continued teasing about a 2024 run is weak attempt to keep his numbers and relevancy among Republicans….
A majority of Republicans believe that former President Trump should be the leader of the GOP, but they remain divided on whether or not the ex-president would be a strong candidate if he decides to wage a bid in the 2024 election, according to a new poll.
The survey, conducted by CNN and SSRS, found that 63 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents think Trump should be the leader of the GOP, with 37 percent saying he should not.
When it asked if Republicans would have a better chance of winning the White House in 2024 with Trump or another candidate at the top of the ticket, the numbers were far closer.
Fifty-one percent of respondents said the party would have a better chance of winning the presidency in 2024 with Trump as their nominee, compared to 49 percent of Republicans who said the party would have a better chance with someone else leading the ticket…..
…
The new numbers are a stark difference from polling taken in 2019, which found that Republicans were overwhelmingly confident in Trump’s strength as a candidate.
Seventy-eight percent of respondents in March 2019 said Republicans have a better chance of winning the White House in 2020 with Trump as the party’s nominee, while only 17 percent said the GOP would have stronger odds with someone else. Six percent of respondents said they did not have an opinion.
Trump has been publicly flirting with another bid for the White House for months now, in May saying his decision will make his supporters “very happy.”…
Note….
The media narrative is strong Trump 2024…
But one CAN see other Republican contenders are NOT backing away from early moves FOR the nomination….
If it is somehow not him, it will be someone just like him(Ron DeSantis, Rudy Giuliani, etc).
He, he, he
Rudy???????😳
I’ve been pointing to DeSantis here for a while….
I did a post where Him, Pence AND Haley trail Trump but ARE in double digits….
Rudy holds a certain mythic sway over Conservative Republican types. If he wanted to do it again and if he is sober enough, he’d be a stronger contender than he was in 2008.
Especially this weekend, remember when RG was “America’s Mayor” ?
His voice impression of Queen Elizabeth would do Mel Blanc proud.
Some would take exception to comparing the late, great Mel (“Bugs Bunny”) Blanc to the crazy paranoid conspiratorialist who was once DJT’s personal lawyer.
Forget Pence and Haley.
It’s gonna be Trump, Trump Jr, DeSantis, or Rudy.
As crazy as the GOP has become I don’t see a ranting drunk like Guiliani being able to mount a serious presidential campaign.
No he’s not going to be in the mix.
Indeed ,despite these various polls claiming Trumps support is waning?Where is the real time evidence?If Trump announces he’s not running?For sure there will be a bunch jump in but “visiting” Iowa etc doesn’t a candidacy make.
Let’s assume however that Trump DOES run.Then lets see how many of these “visitors” actually announce their candidacies .
This poll also showed that over 60% of Republicans WANT Trump to be “leader” of the party.With numbers like that?The Republicans will nominate no one unless Trump gives his stamp of approval and he sure as Hell ain’t gonna give it to someone who would have beaten him in the primaries.You think you’ve heard about “fraud” before ?Wait and see what happens then!
Finally this same poll shows that nearly 60% of Republicans love lying as former Republican Joe Walsh has explained.Why?Because that percent believe to be a “Republican “ one has to state that the election of 2020 was “stolen.” A bald faced lie.
Must be another of those “conservative values.”
Trump @ 60% is way less than he was a year ago….
But he still DOES lead….
For NOW…..
Rudy can’t pay his legal bill’s…..
He’s a HAS BEEN….
Forget him…..
Clip from Rudy’s State of the Anniversary speech last night, complete with a prize winner of a Queen Elizabeth impression:

I’m English, and that doesn’t sound one bit like Her Majesty. {The shades of Mr Blanc would surely take offence.)

However, Rudy Giuliani playing a New York cab driver during his guest-hosting Saturday Night Live was inspired: “Friggin’ Giuliani!”

I think that must have been way back in his sane and sober days.
Ron DeSantis held a press conference today with a covey of anti Vaxxers.
DeSantis who has presided over thousands of deaths in Florida stood there as some RIGHT Wing idiot claimed that the vaccines change your DNA ,Some other goofy woman said that taking the vaccine would leave her children “motherless,”
Even Trump hasn’t gone this far.
The fences are going up in DC in preparation for a rally of the domestic terrorist wing of the Republican Party.
Planned by former aide to Republican President Donald Trump ,the January 6 Terrorists are being labeled “political prisoners.”
Law enforcement agencies have no prediction for how many Republicans will turn out in support of the hoodlums who attacked the Capitol in January.
This is the post for Sept. 18th ‘Rally’….
And Trump has issued a critical comment on former President George W Bush’s remarks on 9/11/21 warning of the danger of domestic terrorism.
Unsurprising, as Trump and a majority of the Republican Party have constantly denigrated concern over the actions of the Republican hoodlums on Jan.6 .
Trump also has already claimed the California recall is “rigged”.
Predictable.
Of course Trump backs those he helped send to overturn his LOSS
Quote of the Day
“If we relitigate 2020 over and over again, it won’t change the result in 2020, but we’re sure to lose in 2024.”
— Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), quoted by NBC News.
CHUCK TODD:
You agree with Congressman Gonzalez, who calls Donald Trump a cancer for the country?
SEN. BILL CASSIDY:
You know, politicians — he’s really speaking about the Republican Party. Politicians are not victims. Politicians make a choice. If we choose to look forward, bringing positive solutions to the American people who have needs, we win. If we choose to be bullied, we lose. Let me put a point on this. My state has been hammered by Hurricane Ida. I have communities which have been completely destroyed. Now, if you go back there, you’re going to find somebody who, yeah, they feel strongly about the election in 2020. What they really feel strongly about is rebuilding their community and building the resiliency so that this doesn’t happen again. Now, if we meet that person’s needs, Republicans will do well in 2024, 2022. And if we don’t, they’ll look elsewhere. Let’s meet their needs.
CHUCK TODD:
Look, you are, I think being — I think relentlessly hopeful here. You’re trying to look forward. I get what you’re trying to say. You’re alone here. There are not many of you speaking this way. It does look like a lion’s share of your colleagues prefer to either stay silent or to go ahead and relitigate to appease Trump.
SEN. BILL CASSIDY:
So we answer to voters. And so if we don’t answer to voters in a positive way, we lose. It’s kind of a market-based economy, and it’s ruthless. If all you do is talk about the past, you’re yesterday’s news. If you talk about the future in a way which gives a positive alternative to a Biden administration, whether it’s inflation, Afghanistan, immigration, I could go on, which is failing, then we win. Now, folks can choose to be bullied and relitigate. We can choose to go forward and win. I choose to go forward and serve my constituents….
CHUCK TODD:
Do you think at this time with where the party is choosing to go right now with Donald Trump that that is a losing strategy for the midterms at this point?
SEN. BILL CASSIDY:
If we relitigate the past, we lose. We’ve got to speak about the future. Now, again, our country is looking for something which brings back the prosperity we had pre-pandemic, where economic benefit was principally going, or disproportionately going, to those in the lower portion of our economic scale, with record low unemployment, which is to say record high employment, for African-Americans, Hispanics, the disabled, high school dropouts, et cetera. If we speak about recovering that, we win. Again, if we relitigate an election from 2020, we lose. I’m about winning…
