Trump's early 2024 launch fails to rally GOP around him

“Former president Donald Trump has told associates and advisers that he wants his third White House bid to resemble the first, limiting himself to a small, improvisational operation and positioning himself as an upstart outsider.

But his official campaign announcement on Tuesday echoed his original 2015 launch in other ways that are less to his favor — lacking the advantages of incumbency and a unified party at his back.

Republican leaders in Washington and around the country are openly blaming Trump for leading the party to its third consecutive electoral letdown. A conservative press that cheered his presidency reprised the hostile tone many right-leaning outlets took when he first appeared on the political scene in 2015. And an emboldened array of potential 2024 competitors for the nomination have stepped forward to suggest an alternative future for the party, even if they are not formally joining Trump in the race yet.

Few major donors or even former Trump administration officials immediately came to his defense — with some, most notably Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman, a longtime adviser to Trump in the presidency, saying he would support someone else. And some polls show Trump has seen significant erosion among Republicans.”


The question, of course, is how disruptive will a Trump candidacy be; Trump won’t win the nomination, of course, but will his acolytes support whomever the nominee is?

One thing is for certain: for the next two years Trump will hobble and undermine Republicans’ efforts to take the Senate and WH in 2024.
Imo,

BEWARE! He's a Phoenix, he always rises again, from the ashes! Teflon Don!

He also has the power of persuasion, (black magic) :eek: over his flock, past or present.....

Don't underestimate the power of the Dark Side, is a safer position to take! :)
 
Trump is vindictive. He'll split the party. Desantis is also vindictive and prone to theatrics. We'll see.
You just described the majority of politicians that runs for office. Democrats and the left are no more immune to be vindictive than Republicans and Conservatives. We just spent years of the left punishing the country because the old white man beat the old white lady out of her turn.
 
Yes. Anyone who'll troll/entrap his own constituents in order to feed red meat to his base, as DeSantis did over ex-felon voting, will be cordially hated by many.

Yes. That was a real sleazy move by Desantis. Tells me a lot about his character.
 
Both are billionaire megadoners and longtime friends of Trump. Lauder of Este Lauder is also president of the World Jewish Congress.
But you have no issue with the billionaire donors as long as they are giving that money to Democrats.

Trump has the support of the trash MAGA republicans, but not of the party

Trump will divide and destroy the GOP, and they will lose again in 2024.

The no character trash GOP is getting exactly what they deserve, they did this to themselves with Trump
 
I think it's hilarious that you all continue to obsess over Trump. But good glory, keep at it. DeSantis will clean your clocks.

Try to Trumpify DeSantis and see how the independents like THAT.

But you will do it, because your people cannot be untaught.

DeSantis has no more hope of being elected than Trump.

No one wants was your white nationalism Sue. You can admire Hilter all you want but you’re not going to get a white authoritarian dictatorship any time soon, whether it’s DeSantis or Trump.

He sure has rallied you TDS dimwits.
 
There are 7 possible GOP candidates running for 2024. I don't think Trump is going to be one of those that the GOP leaders will support. They will want to install their own within the party. I know that Pompeo has been talking with those leaders for awhile now. Trump has burned that bridge with those leaders. He has lost donor support and much of his base. He has nothing to give them.
If anything like 2016, Trump will use his MAGA base to knock them off one by one

Unless Republicans quickly choose a single opponent, they are doomed

Sorry. Your post is a little short.

If you had actually written a single effective insult, it might have gotten you that Soros job you are obviously so desperately trying for here.
