Popular Post Social Media Posted July 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2023 Donald Trump is facing two indictments, with the potential for more. Political wisdom may have once suggested the former president’s bid for a second White House term would be nothing but a pipe dream. But most of us know better by now. Trump is not only in a historically strong position for a nonincumbent to win the Republican nomination, but he is in a better position to win the general election than at any point during the 2020 cycle and almost at any point during the 2016 cycle. No one in Trump’s current polling position in the modern era has lost an open presidential primary that didn’t feature an incumbent. He’s pulling in more than 50% of support in the national primary polls, i.e., more than all his competitors combined. Three prior candidates in open primaries were pulling in more than half the vote in primary surveys in the second half of the calendar year before the election: Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush in 2000 and Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016. Gore remains the only nonincumbent to win every single presidential nominating contest, while Bush and Clinton never lost their national polling advantage in their primaries.

Popular Post BenStark Posted July 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2023 I don't like Trump, and if I was an American I would never vote for him, since I know from long before he even was in politics that he's a liar and bragger. I have an even bigger dislike for the liberals and 90% of their policies. 4 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only winners in the left's war with Russia are the weapons manufacturers and other parasitical companies that thrive on the left's foreign military adventures. Plus he's incredible with the economy, and favors free speech over govt/social media collaboration to censor content that is inconvenient to the narrative(such as the biden corruption & crime laptop). Oh, and he is a fan of rewarding everyone for their own efforts rather than making everything about the color of one's skin. Go Trump!!

Popular Post Trippy Posted July 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2023 IMHO Trump has no chance to win the general election. The never-Trumpers voted him out last time, and that was before Jan 6th, and his overall behavior since the election, so I'm sure there's even more that would never vote for him now. 4 1 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What no citations to support your hodge-podge of opinions. You obviously voted for Trump in 2016. IMHO, if Trump was representative of all the supporters who voted for him in the 2016 election and they vote the same again next year, God help us! The mafioso Don, would without the guard rails from the very few good men of his past administration, present a dystopian world, the same as we see in Russia, China and even North Korea now. With the weak and ineffective GOP and the tainted and biased SCOTUS, he would achieve what the founders feared the most. In the words of James Madison: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” 4 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell ! But right now Harvard / Harris shows the Independent voter siding heavily toward 45. In June Trump was beating biden with Independents by 4% points in this july poll,it went to 18% points! The lines have been drawn on both sides, left & right!

He mentioned at his rally he’s got grassroots support and many of his donations are less than $50 That is total nonsense. He replaced 8 foot alligators, with 14 foot crocodiles. Analyze his cabinet. Nearly every one of his appointments were men and women totally lacking morality, character, ethics, or capability. His presidency was likely the 44th worst in American history. His foreign policy was an absolute disaster. His trade war with China failed miserably, as did his "negotiations" with Xi, Kim, MBS, Putin and nearly everyone else. The man cannot negotiate his way out of a paper bag. I do not like the choice of Biden as a choice for the dems. I think it is a huge mistake. But, I would vote for Mylie Cyrus over Trump. His base is narrower than it was the first time. He will lose. But, being a loser is something he is accustomed to.

Thanks for confirming that the facts take second place. Its also reported in the W.P. Former president Donald Trump called on congressional Republicans to withhold military support for Ukraine until the Biden administration cooperates with their investigations into the president and his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings. The demand, delivered at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, echoed Trump’s conduct at issue during his first impeachment, when Trump withheld aid from Ukraine while pressuring the country’s president to announce an investigation of Biden. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/29/trump-ukraine-congress-hunter-biden/ Edited July 31, 2023 by Bkk Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
