WSJ: Trump is a Loser

[Toro]

And if the GOP nominates him again, the GOP will lose again.

Because a loser is a loser.

Donald Trump seems to be barreling ahead with an announcement Tuesday night that he plans to run for President again. The irony is that more Democrats than Republicans will be elated because they see him as the easiest candidate to beat one more time. ...​

​

[H]is character flaws—narcissism, lack of self-control, abusive treatment of advisers, his puerile vendettas—interfered with that success. Before Covid he was headed for re-election. But the damage from his shutdown of the economy combined with his erratic behavior in that crisis gave Joe Biden the opening to campaign for normalcy. Mr. Trump lost a winnable election.​

​

Had he accepted that defeat, he might now be poised for a comeback given Mr. Biden’s unpopularity. But Mr. Trump contested the outcome well past any reasonable limit and encouraged his supporters to march on the Capitol on Jan. 6. He badgered his loyal Vice President, Mike Pence, to stop the Electoral College vote count to the point where lives were in danger, including Mr. Pence’s. The deadly riot will forever stain his legacy.​

​

Last week’s elections showed that clinging to 2020 election denial, as Mr. Trump has, is a loser’s game. Republicans who took this line to win his endorsement nearly all lost. The country showed it wants to move on, but Mr. Trump refuses—perhaps because he can’t admit to himself that he was a loser.​

​

Mr. Trump will carry all of that baggage and more into a 2024 race. In 2016 voters took a chance on the brash outsider businessman against the unpopular Hillary Clinton. Now Americans know that the Donald Trump they saw in office is the same one they’d get for another four years. They voted in 2018 and 2020 to stop the daily turmoil. It’s hard to believe they’d vote in 2024 to do it all again.​

​

Many Republicans who see Mr. Trump as their champion will want to take that chance. They say only he can take on a willful, increasingly radical left. But two years out of office, Mr. Trump remains more unpopular than Mr. Biden. He divides Republicans, while he is the most effective motivator of Democratic voter turnout in history.​

Trump had his presidency and blew it.
Time for him to move on and lose the primary gracefully.
Trump would get bonus points for supporting the GOP nominee to secure his legacy and put J6 in the history books.

Garbage article.

Trump's impact was zero to spectacular in the midterms, but never negative.

This has nothing to do with his concerns about election fraud, and everything to do with abortion & shitty Republican messaging.

Thing is that he has enough of a base that he might not loose the nomination. If there are 25 to 30% always Trumpers, Trump may very well steam roll through the early primaries, knocking out most of the competition. That said, I really suck at predicting election outcomes.

The WSJ has opposed Trump since 2015.
They said he would crash the economy 1 week into his administration and they were wrong.

 

[Mac1958]

This buffoon has been an ugly pox on his party and the country since Escalator Day.

The party knows it, the rubes don't. They're still in thrall.

RINOS need to be knocked out of the Presidential nominating process. The GOPe maneuvered to get their type of candidate as the nominee constantly. Trump wants to supplant that. Imagine if he was a real conservative. Conservatives are destroyed. His messaging was more populist with common sense answers that we used to do in this nation. it was convoluted into hate by the ready and willing minions of dictatorship.

If President Trump were actually to run and lose the primary election in 2024, he'll give the winner of the nomination the same courtesy and respect that John Kasich and Jeb Bush gave him in 2016, and like those fellows won't show up or give them a dime.

Oops - sorry.

I didn't realize this was a troll thread.

Carry on!

If all the RINOS are knocked out, will there be any Real Republicans able to step up and get elected. I feel your pain concerning RINOS, but given the choice between a RINO and a 100% full fledge Democrat, I'll vote for the RINO.

Also, Trump used to be a Democrat and he doesn't strictly adhere to "Republican" principles, thus he could be considered a RINO.

If the history books are honest, Trump's pages will have a lot of "man-splaining" too:

Trump's presidency was a miracle in itself, the biggest upset in US election history. Hillary and the DNC actually colluded with and paid Russians for "dirt" on Trump, aka the "Steele Dossier". Obama used the power of the DOJ, FBI, CIA and other Federal agencies to illegally spy on and setup Trump for failure. FBI operations Crossfire Hurricane and Razor, the Mueller Investigation, Russian Collusion Hoax, the MSM's constant 95% negative coverage and "fake news", Never-Trump Republicans, the Lincoln Project, globalists of every stripe, the entrenched Deep State who all oppose Trump's policies, the planted leakers and whistle-blowers, and the RINOs who'd rather shill for K-Street than work for main street. Then add to all of that the outright hatred shown by the House democrats toward Trump, to the point of "non-crime" Impeachment Articles, twice!!

Kasich spoke at the DNC convention, traitor.
Jeb Bush who?

All Trump would need to do is say democrat policies are disasters.

I just can't see Trump speaking out in favor of Larry Hogan or Mitt or Liz.

And I think they hate him enough that they don't want the support of Trump or the millions of Little Trumpsters.
