How many people have you listened to lately?

Still winning? Outside of the alternative reality that is MAGA he’s getting reemed.

Says fan of authoritarianism who goes out of his way to avoid hearing opinions counter to his own.

To be fair, the internal Tory opposition vote is itself split between those in the moderate center of the party who know the Rwanda Bill breaks international law and won’t work and the rightwing extremists who don’t think it goes far enough. The Tories are at war with themselves as the Government stares down the barrel of annihilation at the coming General Election. Here’s a curious circumstance: The Tories know they are going to lose, they know replacing Sunak now isn’t going to win them the election. The fight is therefore over who is going to run the Tory Party in opposition. A large Tory defeat plays into the hands of the rightwing extremists making it very much easier for them to take control of the party after the election while blaming moderates for the party’s losses. Meanwhile, as Tories squabble, the nation flounders. Same same for 14 straight years.

Refer link above.

Here’s what concerns the public in order of importance. We know the extreme rightwing blame immigrants, true to type: ‘It’s always somebody else’s fault’. 14 years of failing government is a far more rational explanation but it’s not one fed out by the rightwing media. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/wellbeing/bulletins/publicopinionsandsocialtrendsgreatbritain/15to26november2023#:~:text=Main points,-Ahead of the&text=When asked about the important,as the top three issues.

Here’s the best bit. The Tories and Sunak in particular have chosen of their own volition to promise to deliver the Rwanda policy in the face of consistent advice that it won’t work and will brake both UK law and international laws the IK is bound by. It’s a mess of their own making. They could have focussed on something the general public are concerned about, the NHS, the housing crisis, the economy, education ….. nah, they chose the Albatross and strung it around their own necks.

I see my long used observation of ‘rightwing accusation/confession’ did gain purchase then.

I predicted the Biden win in 2020, I’m predicting a Biden win 2024, I predicted indictments against Trump and I’m predicting convictions against Trump. What did I get wrong?

Well if you don’t vote don’t whinge.

Except that isn’t 2020. But then Trump doesn’t know what year he’s in, your difficulty is no surprise.

Or he was managing expectations.

And swing voters are not predominantly racists, they don’t look on law breaking and tax dodging as any more of an admirable trait than hate mongering and pandering to America’s enemies. Every time Trump blows his dog whistle to the rightwing extremists he sends a warning to swing voters. Keep it up Donny.

Is that you cutting and pasting from 2020 again?!

So it’s you that has the forum crystal ball.

I’ll grant you someone is clutching at straws. I don’t see Democrats being overly concerned about Republicans choosing the candidate they hope the Republicans are dumb enough to put up at the election.

Nevertheless, 49% chose not to vote for Trump. Which has bearing on your statement: “You see, if a large proportion of them wanted to vote Republican but hated Trump they might be tempted to abstain or even worse, vote Democrat.”

He got 51% of the caucus vote. Comprende?

Anti law and order, anti election, anti constitution…..

More ill informed nonsense and of course your customary baseless innuendo.

I do understand trolls and you’re not the first Brit Trump fan boy to show up around these parts, you’re a type.

That’s little Vivek for you, all ‘pump and dump’.

You don’t seem to understand, Democrats could not wish for a better Republican pick than Trump. The election will not be decided by the extremists in MAGA for whom every Trump crime and Trump obscenity is cause to double down, it will be decided by swing voters.

We’ll one is widely reported to have that whiff about him, the other not.

I’ve got a feeling the 50.9% vote for Trump against such an abysmal field of candidates won’t make comfortable reading for any rational thinking adults left amongst Republicans. 49.1% voted the ‘Not Trump’ ticket. ‘Trump cementing front runner status’ over a bunch of misfits.
