I may have some bad news for you.

Republicans vote Republican, Democrats vote Democrat.

72% of Republicans means nothing, it's the swing voters.

Approval ratings almost a year before an election also mean nothing.

You appear to have missed the point (again) which is of no surpise.

 

Allow me to explain the obvious. The fact that Trump is so popular with Republican voters is a good sign for the Republicans chances of winning in November. 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. If the majority of Republican voters think Trump is "Da Man" then there is very little chance they will abstain or vote Democrat. 

 

Comprende?

And I see arithmetic isn't your strong point.

 

You say 'If the majority of Republican voters think Trump is "Da Man then there is very little chance they will abstain or vote Democrat' but as has been pointed out to you by numerous other posters, he only got 51% of the Iowa vote. This means that 49% don't want Trump. Logic (not something big for Trump fans I know) would then say there IS a very good chance that many will vote Democrat (unlikely but possible), vote independant or much more likely, abstain.

 

If this then translates to the bigger vote in November, he doesn't stand a snowballs chance of being elected because he needs ALL of the Republican vote (which is stil less than the total number of Democrats and is why the GOP always loses the popular vote) PLUS a whole swaith of the swing vote. Of course, gerrymandered districts will play their part in the ridiculous electorial college system, but the key in the election is the suburban swing voter for whom Trump is definately NOT their first choice.

 

Anyway, it's all conjecture at this point so let's see what November brings.

Quell surprise,I’m curious about the margin and who gets 2ond desantis spent a lot of money there

Reading the article in Al Jazeera it appears Trump obtained the backing of at least 20 of the 40 delegates. He was aiming for 40% support so he apparently did way better than anticipated.

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.

Except that isn’t 2020.

 

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

A lot can happen between now and the November eclections, though I am sure Trump is writing up his papers to Pardon himself from all his crimes.

One thing for certain is that Biden will do an LBJ and withdraw, if his mrs does bully him into running again, if he did Trump will crush him.

Just one in a long line of empty trolling comments from that party. Funny considering how the crybabies who supported Trump have been whining about a stolen election for the past 3 years.

 

Ironic that you would complain about trolling while trolling.

You are (unsurprisingly) conflating two things: Trump being popular with Republican voters and Trump being popular overall. 

All this proves is he has a lock on the Republican party (something we all knew) and will (legal issues aside), get the Repuublican nomination. This is of no surprise to anyone.

The test of course will be in November when the nation votes. Then we will see.

Trump has the small problem that he will likely be a convicted felon in November.

It really kills me to be the one to break this to you but [drumroll] - 51% is a majority. 

 

It would apppear that it is not I who has the problem with arithmetic.

Political parties occupying the White House typically don't have presidential primaries.

 

Your knowledge of this subject seems limited.

Trump has a problem with swing voters, because they don't believe him as readily as his Cult members. So, when he inevitably swings to the left for the General Election, swing voters will see right through him.

Your trolling was empty. Just a taunt about the future. If what I wrote was trolling, at least it was based on evidence. And if you hadn't trolled in the first place, I wouldn't have had occasion to make my comment.

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?

The claims you make for your predictions may be astounding or they may be baseless. That you would make such a claim is more evidence of emptiness.

They don't usually have sitting presidents polling around 33%, either.  They're making a mistake not primarying him.

 

The Dems are leaving the party in droves, Blacks, Hispanics, and all the other Dems that see the contempt that the party elite have for the voters.

Actually, in 2012 and 2004 some states cancelled primaries. Most held them.

That's an interesting claim. Do you have any data to back that up?

I quite agree that prominent Democrats should have run against Biden. Whether fairly or not, he is a weak candidate. As for those droves, what does it say about the strength of Republican candidates that they are either slightly ahead or slightly behind Biden in the polls posing matchups?

A successful businessman with a $250 million or more fine looming, loss-making golf courses, six or seven company bankruptcies, a failed airline, failed university, social platform losing money hand over fist.

Trying to raise campaign money ( read: paying the few lawyers still left who will work for him ) with trading cards. Yeah right.

The party occupying the White House doesn't have primaries, keep up please.

Turnout at the Iowa caucuses was low, compared with 2016. I guess only the hard core braved the elements.
