Pre-match: Can't believe it took this long for this thread, the 2024 Presidential election thread!

Who the ******** is that bumbling idiot? I totally consider Metballs Ron as if not more dangerous to democracy than TFG. Furthermore, Trump would be much easier to beat in 2024.

Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman is exploring ways to edge Donald Trump out of the GOP presidential primary, Puck reports.
“Hoffman’s team is currently studying early voting states — party registration requirements, demographic groups, state G.O.P. nominating rules, media ecosystems, etcetera — to see where they can move the needle. And if they do inadvertently elect a President DeSantis? I’m told that Hoffman and adviser Dmitri Melhorn, at a high level, don’t view the Florida governor as an existential threat to democracy, unlike Trump, and believe he may even have the ability to successfully govern.”

 

She is just delusional........ What a tool! That woman makes my skin crawl.

Nikki Haley provided a small glimpse at her strategy for defeating Donald Trump in the Republican primary, noting that he had a “hard 25%” support, CBS News reports.

Said Haley: “There are 75% other Republicans there that are looking for a place to be.”

She added that she doesn’t plan to do “big rallies” on her campaign: “You have to go and answer the hard questions. You have to go face to face. You can’t fly in and fly out. And I believe the American people want you to earn their vote. I don’t think they’re gonna give it.”

 

I can't stop laughing at this ........ " Centrist" is doing a lot of work here. What the ******** John Harris is smoking>? Since when the GOP base was interested in " centrist"? Younkin is a centrist may be news for Virginians as well.

The Case for Glenn Youngkin in 2024

John Harris: “The Virginia governor offers two things Republicans need: A non-hostile alternative to Trump and a compelling centrist challenge to Biden.”

 

A centrist means a conservative who doesn't openly advocate the violent overthrow of the US government.

 

Those numbers are not good news from Meatballs Ron and his boosters!

A new Fox News poll finds Donald Trump has doubled his lead in the Republican primary since February and is up by 30 points over Ron DeSantis, 54% to 24%.
Last month, Trump was up by 15 points, 43% to 28%.
No one else hits double digits. Mike Pence comes in third with 6%.

 

Not relevant at the moment.
These polls (like most politics opinion polls) are simply mathturbation at this point.

Trump is and will be the front runner by a wide margin until something happens with him.

If he is not indicted and convicted, he is the nominee.

If he is, then let's see how the polls go.

I think the bigger story is that DeSantis has 4 times the percentage as the number 3, despite not making a peep about actually running.

 

He is "smart" not to announce.
As I stated he can sit back and wait. If/when there is an indicted, he announces the next day and, instantly, becomes the de facto frontrunner.

 

Indictment doesn't hurt Trump's chances one vote. Come to think of it neither does a guilty verdict.

 

Well, he won't be convicted by the general election next year. His lawyers have mastered the fine art of dragging things out

 

As far as I remember it also has not been figured or decided conclusively whether or not a sitting President can pardon themselves.

 

With the current AG his lawyers didn't have to be too artsy for this to happen.

 

*nudgenudge* There are 2 other DAs working cases against Trump as well. One of which has been investigating since 2018 and the other since 2021..

 

I'm not big on polls, but it's telling that Fox is already going back to being more supportive of Trump.

 

We’ll see how it goes!
