If he keeps this up, he’ll drag the entire Republican Party down with him in 2024.

To me, this article seems to be arguing that Trump will probably end up in the General election, but will lose by a wide margin because he has become more extreme and has pending legal action against him. I would say this sounds pretty similar to what many argued in 2016, though circumstances are admittedly very different now. What hasn’t changed is my lack of faith in a large percentage of the American population who either don’t vote or vote in hatred.

It’s weird how people still bring up 2016 like 2020 didn’t happen. I get it, we can’t know for sure and people got burned that one time. But he’s hardly a winner.

In fact he lost the popular vote both times and the candidates he backed during the midterms lost for the most part. His entire track record is losing.

Democrats won the White House and the Senate and retained control of the House.

Quit your gaslighting.

Uhh, the Dems controlled the House after 2020, Manchin and Sinema notwithstanding.

Yes - the 2020 where Republicans failed to gain control of either house and lost the presidency.

2016 was pure gift. He was as surprised as everyone else when he won. He’s all in now, it’s that or prison.

This article was like… if a YouTuber had a journalism job but no training. Pretty hard to read and editorialized heavily.

Don’t believe anything you read about the trump machine imploding.

Vote. Don’t be complacent.

I sure hope so, but I won’t be holding my breath. Can’t fix stupid and there is a lot of stupid.

If I stepped on a dog turd and smeared it down the street, would you say I ruined it?

Is Trump the turd and the GOP the street in this analogy? Or the turd is the GOP and Trump the one stepping on it?
