We KEEP reporting that NOT ALL Republicans are standing ‘strong’ behind Donald Trump with his mounting Criminal and Civil cases pilling up…..
His legal issues so far appear to have helped more than hurt him with GOP primary voters, but the piling up of legal cases could cause real problems in a general election, Republicans say. And that could lead to the reelection of President Biden, despite his troubles.
“It’s hard to think this does anything to improve his numbers in a general election,” said Brian Seitchik, a Republican strategist and former Trump campaign staffer.
Former President Donald Trump addresses the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, June 24, 2023.
A Quinnipiac University poll conducted nearly two years after the riots at the Capitol found more than 60 percent of Americans believed Trump bore a lot or some responsibility for the events on Jan. 6. That includes many independent and moderate voters who Trump will need to win over from Biden next November.
A growing body of evidence suggests GOP candidates are not punished and are more likely to be rewarded by primary voters for embracing Trump and his rhetoric surrounding the 2020 election and the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
But GOP candidates in congressional and gubernatorial races last year who did so often cost the party in the general election.

Uh, will you “keep reporting” that Trump is running about thirty points ahead of all the other Republican presidential candidates and that every time he is indicted his support grows?

Yup……
It IS about the Presidency…..
NOT the GOP Nomination….
THAT IS the Republicans problem……
