Reasons to not vote for Trump....as a republican.

[2aguy]

So how are ya going about it?

Actually, I would get them to coalesce around someone like Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, or Chris Sununu.

None of those 3 have any chance at all..........

 

[2aguy]

DeSantis/Scott.

I could see that.....compared to the biden or newsom.......

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

You people have shown yourselves to be completely out of touch with this country for the last several years, but by all means, pretend to be the standard bearer as to who can and can't win.

A wet sock can defeat Biden unless it's name is Donald Trump, so, yeah, they can and would.

 

[candycorn]

And I made a mistake.

It won't happen again.

Sure it will. Ten years from now (likely less) you'll disavow who you voted for next year. Just like you disavow having voted for Reagan, McCain and both Bushes.

So you're thinking that Any republican not named Trump could beat Biden in 2024?

The debacle of a Trump nomination to the down-ticket can't be overstated.

There is a chance that Trump could win.....but the odds are against it.........

I'd say that's an accurate statement. The only reason Biden even won in 2020 was because he was up against Trump.

The warnings in the column are real....the threat to the future of this country is extreme.....we don't have time to allow the democrats to control the government for another day, let alone 4 more years...especially with Clarence Thomas close to retirement.........

Republicans will lose the House.

With Trump on the ticket weighing everyone down, especially moderates who barely won to eke out a party control flip in 2020, Republicans will almost certainly give the House of Representatives back to Democrats. And when Hakeem Jeffries gets that gavel, we’ll be longing for the good old days of Nancy Pelosi.

Republicans will be on track to lose the Senate.

My esteemed Townhall colleague Kurt Schlichter recently predicted that Republicans, even with Trump at the helm, could gain two seats in what should be the best GOP Senate cycle in decades. That would give them a tenuous 51-49 majority that would delay the worst Democratic legislation for a while. However, when the tide turns back to Democrats in 2026, the nightmare will really begin. And this time, there will be no Joe Manchin to hold them back.
-----------
Democrats may get to pick replacements for Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, giving the left a 5-4 SCOTUS majority.

Thomas is 75, and Alito is 73. Will both be able to hold on another five and a half years until a Republican has another chance at the presidency? Given that both are males and we don’t tend to live as long, my money is on ‘doubtful.’ At this point, with a 5-4 leftist majority, expect every freedom you hold dear, from guns to speech, to be summarily stripped away. Right now, the courts are the only thing holding the Biden administration back from enacting the worst of what they have in store, and they don’t even have the House. When there’s a Democratic trifecta AND a leftist SCOTUS majority, it’s game over.

I get that the memes and the Trump rallies are fun and the guy is entertaining as hell. I also understand the desire to vote for the guy who gave us 2016’s miracle win. I truly do. Yes, the former president has been his own worst enemy at times, but he also has been the target of an unprecedented level of lawfare from Democrats.

The desire to see him not just vindicated but in a position to wreak sweet, sweet revenge on his - and our - persecutors is palpable. Hell, if I could wave a magic wand and make him president, I certainly would.
But I can’t, and you can’t, and for a variety of solid reasons, Trump can’t win the general election. So, it’s imperative that Republicans nominate someone who can. Our country, and our way of life, depend on it. There is a Door Number Two if we’re wise enough to open it.

Here’s What Will Probably Happen If Trump Wins The GOP Nomination

Stop listening to low energy fags.


DeSantis has shown himself to be a complete putz. There is no one else in the field that comes close to Trump. They’re going to have to steal another election to beat him.

There is a chance that Trump could win.....but the odds are against it.........

It does not matter if he ekes-out a win against tater or whoever the dems trot out or not....The house goes bye-bye and the chance to take back the senate will be squandered....Again....It's as simple as that.

 

[mudwhistle]

Chrisite won't get the nomination....Desantis could....and he has fought actual battles against the left and won all of them. He doesn't have millions of Americans who will just not vote for him no matter how bad the democrats are destroying the country..........

Trump can't win........at best he might pull off a win if everything goes wrong for the democrats and the republicans take their heads out of their asses and do absolutely everything right........there are too many Americans who simply will not vote for Trump and too many Americans who will simply vote against Trump for no reason other than they don't like him personally...

The country can't take another 4 years of the democrats digging into the government, and getting better at using the FBI, CIA, DOJ, IRS against us....

DeSantis has been bought by the Bush clan.
That's a non-starter for me.

This. But nobody stole an election. It's one of the reasons no matter who you put up against Biden, they won't win. Best to focus on the Senate, which right now despite the favorable map for Republicans, is 50/50.

DeSantis, so far anyway, has shown he's not up to the task of running a campaign. As I suspected, people and donors are thinking a man who wages a singular war against what he perceives as "woke" and going to war with one of his state's largest employers...is a huge turn off.

/——/ democRATs pretending to be Republicans giving sage advice on how to beat democRATs. You don’t fool anyone with your cut and paste bilge.

 

[Anomalism]

Actually, I would get them to coalesce around someone like Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, or Chris Sununu.

Do those names carry enough recognition with the electorate? Ron DeSantis is like a golden boy on the right right now. Everybody knows him, everybody knows what he's done and he's not nearly as disliked as Trump.

They won't have to steal anything from Trump......too many Americans hate him for irrational reasons........

Derek Hunter made a valid point that Trump likely would have lost in 2016 against any other democrat but hilary clinton......

We can't afford the democrats to control the senate and the white house in 2024...

 

[candycorn]

I'd say that's an accurate statement. The only reason Biden even won in 2020 was because he was up against Trump.

Let me ask you this...

Do you think that if you replaced Biden in 2020 with any other democrat who is currently on the national stage; they would have lost? In other words, if it was Harris...do you think Harris would have won in 2020? Klobuchar...Warren...Castro....Cuomo (at the time)? I think any of them would have won.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Of course.

 

[candycorn]

Of course.

We'll see (maybe).

 

[candycorn]

he's not nearly as disliked as Trump.

Just wait.

In July of 2023 it doesn't matter. I think DeSantis stands a much better chance than Trump, but I think he may have gone overboard with the culture wars in his state and that could hurt him nationally.
