Indeed they DO….
Joe Biden would have a tougher time against any of the other Republicans…
The Hill Op-Ed…..
If Republicans choose Donald Trump as their presidential nominee in 2024, Democrats will win. If they nominate almost any other prominent conservative, Democrats will lose — and they will lose big. A 2024 White House bid by Trump would ensure the focus of the election is on re-litigating 2020 and the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach, rather than on the issues important to voters right now. Democrats realize this may be their only path to victory, after years of unified control in Washington has left many American families worse off than they were before.
The state of play is disastrous for President Biden and the Democrats ahead of 2024. Many Americans are struggling to fill their cars with gas and their refrigerators with groceries thanks to soaring inflation; the economy is shrinking, even as COVID restrictions have been lifted; illegal immigration is out of control and when Title 42 is lifted, the Department of Homeland Security expects 18,000 migrants to enter the U.S. per day; American cities are being overtaken by homelessness, drugs and violent crime; young children are being indoctrinated in radical ideologies in many publicschools, often without the consent of parents; and the U.S. is losing influence around the globe amid several foreign policy crises.
Trump is the Democrats’ Hail Mary. In addition to reviving CNN’s ratings, Trump’s mere entrance into the race would shift focus away from Biden’s abysmal track record. Instead of covering inflation or the open border, media coverage would be blanketed with daily comments by Trump about how the 2020 election was rigged, defensive statements about the Jan. 6 riots, and attacks on fellow Republicans. If you think that Trump will stop with Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), wait until he realizes that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis or South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem may threaten his chances for a second term….

I’m not convinced that Trump as the Republican presidential candidate in 2024 means a Democratic victory.
Way too much time between now and then to reach that conclusion.
For sure though Trump and the Republicans will try to steal it regardless of the outcome.
It’s who they are.

Trump has continued to look backwards….
The crying has never stopped and he now has a history…..
The others looking for the nomination are NOT just sit down and let him walk into the nomination….
I DO believe Trump would actually be a easy target rich environment for Biden and Democrats…
He is his OWN worst enemy….

Let’s wait and see how many of these so called”others” will actually run if Trump does.
My guess? Few,if any including your favorite DeSantis.
Mitt Romney said yesterday that Trump is “very likely” to be the nominee in 2024.
Now I’m no expert ;however, I really believe that Mitt Romney understands much more about the Republican Party than you do.
jamesb says
For his own sake ?
Yea Romney does….
But here and other places people have said the Utah Senator IS out of sync with his own Republican Party….
I’m sticking with the view that Trump WILL be challenged for the nomination and Democrats?
Will be be rooting for Trump….

I have company on Trump for the 2024 GOP nominee…..
Howard Dean Hopes Trump Is the GOP Nominee
Former DNC chairman Howard Dean told MSNBC that he hopes Donald Trump is the Republican nominee in the 2024 presidential election.
Said Dean: “He is incredibly divisive, he exhausts people, he’s in deep criminal trouble and it’s going to take a long time apparently before that gets sorted out.”
He added: “I also think his brand is wrecked.”
