It is pointed out that Donald Trump, while captivating most of the Grand ole Party, has come to understand that it won’t be enough to beat Joe Biden in his possible second try….
He has been actively fighting Republican Florida Governor DeSantis by trying to stay to the left of him…..
(Trump WAS a Democrat twice back in the day)
He also has others IN the party nipping at him….
Sooooo?
Somewhat like 2016?
He will be trying to reach some low hanging fruit of voters by doing his ole whining about the ‘government’….
This time he’ll use his collecting of civil and criminal trials also….
This dog STILL stands by the opinion that Donald J. Trump is gonna LOSE worse then the last time and will need Biden to keep him out of jail….I think Trump and his people have similar feeling’s and it’s leaking out….
Trump advisers say the short shrift he’s giving the Republican label reflects a view that he is the leader of a movement that is broader than one party.
“It’s a recognition that it’s not just an R versus D — it’s about the current state of the country and who, on Day One, is going to fix it,” said another Trump campaign adviser who requested anonymity in order to discuss internal strategy. “Whether that’s the ‘uniparty’ or the ‘deep state’ or the world government, there is most definitely a recognition amongst the electorate at large that there is an ‘us versus them’ component in all of this.”
During his presidency, Trump grew closer to the Republican Party establishment as he began to take control of it. He hired Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus as his first White House chief of staff and installed Ronna McDaniel — who still serves in the role — as Priebus’ successor at the party committee. In 2020, he staged part of the Republican convention from the White House.
Trump at the time praised the “Republican Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln” and said it “goes forward united, determined.”
Trump’s shift away from acting like the standard-bearer of the party comes after a year in which he waded into countless GOP primary contests, promoting some candidates who aligned with the Republican establishment and some who did not. He was able to knock out many of his loudest Republican critics, including then-Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Tom Rice, R-S.C.
But there appears to be an acknowledgment in Trump’s approach now that he can’t win the general election without expanding his reach outside the overlapping Venn diagram circles of his existing base and the Republican electorate. He lost in both the Electoral College and the popular vote in 2020, after winning the former — and the White House — in the more anti-establishment, less rah-rah-Republican 2016 campaign….

Republican kooks and Trump supporters are now referring to DeSantis as “Desoros,” claiming that he is supported by the nutjobs favorite villain George Soros .
The Jewish Soros is often the object of fantastical tales among not only the Republican kooks but even among so called “ conservatives.”

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has attracted some attention Of late but someone needs to explain political reality to the rookie.
Apparently he is suggesting Democratic presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy as his VP candidate.
jamesb says
He, he, he
U mean GOP candidate RFK Jr?
Ghost of SE says
That pairing advancing as the GOP ticket is…more realistic than the likes of DeSantis, Christie, or Haley beating out Trump for the nomination.
Ghost of SE says
Biden would also torch them in a landslide.
Scott P says
Ramaswamy is polling about the same as Pemce now. About 5%

More on this character…
He weirdly claims ,with no Evidence ( typical Republican) that Black Americans did not secure their civil rights until they “ secured” their right to bear arms,apparently unaware that the civil rights movement was overwhelmingly nonviolent.
He says that the burning of fossil fuels is warming the planet but still advocates such to promote “ economic growth.”
He amusingly claims that he will use military force to “ annihilate “ Mexican drug cartels.
He authored a book called “Woke Inc” but says he’s “never used that word,” an obvious lie.
He’s a Hindu trying to appeal to evangelical Christians.
We know that Republicans like these kind of liars and weirdos(see Trump,Donald J) so who knows ?

Republicans like to flirt with Presidential minority candidates for a bit to pat themselves on the back for being inclusive. At least for a few news cycles.
See Ben Carson and the late Herman Cain for past examples.
