Trump leads in most early 2024 primary state polls….
But NOT in all pof them….
In fact in some?
DeSantis head to head beats him…..
Yet in polls with numerous others running?
Trump edges out DeSantis and the pack…..
The Washington Post does a piece that suggests that maybe Trump ain’t doing so hot….
Actually?
He could be doing worst that the media is selling him as…..
For the umpteenth time….
This isn’t 2016…
Trump HAS a history….
Trump has been crying about losing his job….
Trump is waist deep in legal trouble……
And Trump fatigue IS a reality…..
One of former president Donald Trump’s most tried-and-true political strategies is taking a liability and claiming that his opponents are weaker on that front — no matter the actual evidence. As Aaron Blakenotes, he’ll just keep saying it over and over again, in hopes of muddying the waters.
Just this week, he has done it by criticizing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) coronavirus restrictions, though the state enacted some of the country’s least-restrictive pandemic policies and Trump even praised DeSantis at the time for avoiding a true “lockdown.” Trump is also doing it with drug-overdose deaths during the President Biden era, which have risen more slowly than they did during Trump’s presidency and have actually been dropping of late.
Then another Trump comment caught our ear. During an interview with Washington Post contributing columnist Hugh Hewitt on Thursday, Trump continued to try explaining away his DeSantis problem.
Per Aaron:
“Ron DeSantis is way behind me,” Trump said. “Every once in a while, Fox will put up a phony poll … but I’m way ahead in New Hampshire. I’m way ahead in South Carolina. I’m way ahead in Iowa.”Those last assertions are very far from true. And they spotlight an important aspect of the nascent 2024 GOP campaign.Indeed, if anything, those early-state polls speak to the possibility that Trump’s position in the 2024 primaries might be worse than national polls suggest. That’s because Republicans in the states that matter more also appear more eager to turn the page.As things stand, Trump generally leads nationally by double digits in a crowded field, while DeSantis is very competitive — and in some cases has led — if you distill the race down to just the two of them. (Polls vary in who they include in that crowded field, but they generally include former vice president Mike Pence and former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, among others.) …
Who is surprised by this?
Some of the Republican domestic terrorists who “apologized “ as part of their plea agreements for their conduct Jan. 6 are now back to the Radical right wing extremism now dominating the Republican Party.
A substantial portion of the Republican Party regard these pieces of filth as “ martyrs” to the cause of Right Wing authoritianism .
They have them “ conservative values.”
Indeed….
How quickly they forgot the mobs sent by their ‘party’ LEADER to beat them into submission in Putin style bum’s rush….
They can embrace and justify turning their heads on the over900 arrested and those doing jail time …..
McCarthy putting a knucklehead that embraces the perps in charge or the Capitol Cops is just giving them the finger….
The karma of this shit IS gonna come back to the GOPer’s
