The left’s sole objective is to make Trump the GOP’s 2024 presidential nominee
A few years ago, I posted this riddle on Twitter:
What’s easier to roll than an Easter egg?
Answer: Donald Trump.
Now, I can add:
What’s easier to roll than Donald Trump?
Answer: Republican voters.
Democrats are playing Republicans like a fiddle. The left’s sole objective is to make Trump the Republicans’ 2024 presidential nominee. He’s already lost three election cycles for the GOP — why not make it four?
A month ago, things were looking bad for the Democrats.
Immediately after Trump announced for president last November, he may as well have gone into the witness protection program. Even Fox News cut away from his announcement speech. He had to have dinner with a noted Hitler enthusiast to get any attention — and, when he spoke at CPAC in February, the room was half-empty.
Looming before them was the threat from Florida: Governor Ron DeSantis. He was beating Trump in the presidential polls without even announcing. He’d scored victory after victory against Democrats and won his reelection bid — in a purple state! — by twenty points, despite attacks from Trump.
Against DeSantis’s smarts and energy, the Democrats would be running President Senile Dementia and a vice president whose sole credentials are that she is black and a woman.
They had only one hope: get Trump the nomination. Liberals: HE’S A DANGER TO THE NATION! NEVER HAVE WE FACED SUCH PERIL! Now let’s do everything we can to make sure he gets the nomination.
And that’s why Democrats indicted Trump on absurd charges this week, with the media covering the event like it was the capture of Osama bin Laden. Today, the party mandarins are sitting around laughing as Republicans trip over themselves to defend Trump.
This was the whole point of my book, Resistance Is Futile: How the Trump-Hating Left Lost Its Collective Mind. Instead of attacking Trump for the things he’d actually done, liberals would run off and make wild charges, forcing normal people to say, I don’t like the guy, but he’s not a Russian agent.
The endless stream of preposterous charges against Trump only helped him.
So why not launch another ridiculous accusation to help him get the nomination? That’s exactly what they did in last year’s GOP primaries, supporting Trump’s nut-bar candidates, knowing they would go on to lose the general election. By boosting Trump’s candidates, Democrats managed to pull out a historic midterm victory for Biden.
And now, they’re doing it again, trying to trick Republicans into choosing the worst possible presidential nominee. Guess what? It’s working! New GOP motto: unable to learn from the third kick of a mule.
In response to Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday, all conservative media swept aside news of out-of-control crime, chaos at the border, ******** overdoses and the looming recession. Their No. 1 job became: SAVE TRUMP! A major conservative talk radio host even suggested DeSantis stand down and endorse Trump.
True, everyone at MSNBC is a Trump-hating zealot. But this helps obscure the real objective. Half the Democrats genuinely hate Trump, and the other half are saying, This is fantastic. We’re going to win him the nomination.
Politico reports that Biden’s senior advisirs reacted to Trump’s recent surge in the polls with unmitigated joy. “We beat Trump once, they say, and will again.”
They’re absolutely right. After voters reject you once, they almost never change their minds. In all of US history, losing presidential candidates have run again about a dozen times. Only three of those renominations were successful — and only one since 1892. (Nixon was the only one to do it in the past 131 years. Of course, that first election probably was stolen from him, but Nixon graciously conceded, instead of running around making a complete ass of himself.)
Everyone acts as if Trump’s 2016 win was a gigantic, stupendous victory, when in reality he barely squeaked by. Don’t confuse “startling” with “big.”
He was running against the most hated woman in politics.
Moreover, the country had been incessantly told that Hillary had it in the bag. On Election Day, the New York Times put her chances of winning at 85 percent. Princeton professor Sam Wang — who’d correctly predicted forty-nine out of fifty states in 2012! — said Clinton was more than 99 percent likely to be the next president. How many Clinton voters saw those polls and thought, I’ll just say I voted for her and go get my nails done.
Yet and still, out of 139 million votes cast in 2016, Trump won with a mere 80,000 votes across three states. Flip those votes, and Hillary wins.
Trump’s winning was a shock, but it wasn’t an amazing, spectacular victory, indicative of some sort of electoral magic.
And then, of course, Trump went on turn his presidency over to Jared and Ivanka, betray his voters (But he moved the embassy!) and lose the next three election cycles.
Republicans: No matter how angry you are at Democrats for politicizing the law, please remember: Trump. Will. Lose. To. Biden. There is absolutely no scenario in which he wins. The good news is there’s virtually no scenario where Biden wins — unless Trump is his opponent.

Biden barely beat Trump in 2020. He won by about 30k votes across 3 states (or something like that). His popular vote margin was simply California and New York.
And Biden right now is a lot more unpopular now than he was then. In 2020, he had a +10% favorable and trustworthy rating by the voters. Now, he is almost as unpopular as Hillary was in 2016.
It isn't all that certain that Trump will lose because Biden has lost a ton of supporters, an oft-overlooked fact by commentators

But yeah, if you ignore millions of people who voted for Biden, because they voted for Biden, Trump definitely got the popular vote.

Remember how great 2020 was? Remember how Trump added $8T to the debt in 4 years creating the inflation we're dealing with now? Remember how Trump tried to destroy NATO and cozies up to Putin at every opportunity vs the united, expanded NATO we have now that has shown Russia to be a chithole military? Remember the anemic GDP growth and how he only improved on Obama the Great's unemployment reduction by a paltry 1% while bullying the Fed to LOWER rates in 2019?
Yea, we definitely need more of that.

If so then Russia errored quite bigly wouldn't you say? Trump wouldn't have mobilized and expanded NATO and brought the US back to leading the free world like Biden has. Hell Trump talked about pulling out of NATO. I wonder why Putin didn't invade yet...maybe waiting for Trump to destroy NATO so he could just walk through Ukraine?
c'mon boyo, you know very well the US, Western Europe, and NATO are way stronger now than under Trump. Hell, Europe buy's way way less oil and gas from Russia for one forcing them to sell to the rest of the chithole countries in the world for below market...lol

Biden got 306 electoral votes, but the difference between 266 and 306 was about 40k votes across 3 states. It was a narrow win

Historically, they rank among the tightest elections in history

This is obvious. Even Fox News has been begrudgingly admitting this. Trump is a strong primary candidate, but a weak general election candidate.

Luckily trump figured out he'll need to do the same thing but thats what the left has turned elections into. Competing ballot harvesting operations

"Dems play same old hand: The Trump Card"
https://nypost.com/2023/04/08/dems-p...he-trump-card/
excerpt:
If you are a consumer of Democratic Party propaganda, you learned over the last two years that Donald Trump is not only a unique threat to democracy, he also single-handedly caused inflation, created the crisis at our southern border and ran up the scandalous national debt.
Just last week, you learned of two more ways the former president is destroying America.
First, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg declared that voters in the 2016 presidential race were deprived of key facts that could have made Hillary Clinton the winner.
Bragg appears to be insisting she lost because, in 2017, Trump reimbursed a lawyer for giving Stormy Daniels and two other people hush money.
Later last week, President Biden also tried to rewrite history by claiming that, despite near-universal belief that he, as commander in chief, was responsible for the chaotic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, it was actually and totally — drumroll please — Donald Trump’s fault.
A visitor from Mars might reasonably wonder who this fellow Trump is and how he remains a free man despite doing so many terrible things.
To which his tormentors could answer that they have a plan to end his free man status.
What would Democrats do without Donald Trump?
The short answer is they would have to find somebody else to hate and blame.
Donald Trump
Recent polls have shown as many as 84% of Democrats approve of the Trump Indictment case.
AFP via Getty Images
The obsession is not just a top-down manufactured political trick.
The party’s rank-and-file seems to have sworn an oath never to break ranks on two related fronts.
First, they swear to stick together on anything major and, second, anything that can be pinned on Trump is major.
SEE ALSO
Trump leads Ron DeSantis by 8% in first Iowa head-to-head poll post-arrest
A unity oath would be a coherent explanation for the incoherence of a blame game that can’t let go of the past and gives more power and responsibility to a former president than to the bumbling current one.
There is, of course, a method to the madness.
Biden’s record is a disaster both at home and abroad but polls consistently show he and his party are usually better off when the former president is in the news.
Trump’s endorsements in key races helped Dems retain Senate control in 2022 and party leaders and activists aim to build on that success by helping Trump become the Republican nominee next year.
Although Biden has not committed to seeking a second term, Dems believe Trump cannot win a general election so they are using a political bank shot to help guarantee he is the opposition candidate.
Their working theory is that the more they attack Trump, the more the MAGA base rallies around him.
Thus, by hammering him relentlessly and unleashing serial prosecutions, Dems aim to choke off GOP support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other primary challengers, leaving Trump as a wounded nominee.
Limited appeal
The idea is not as farfetched as it sounds.
Trump enjoys unshakeable support of perhaps 35-40% within the party while his tiresome histrionics limit his appeal among other Republicans and independents.
Those dynamics explain why Dem activists see him as a very beatable 2024 general election opponent.
Still, their latest forays at putting the plan in motion are so bizarre that the machinations might have reached peak absurdity. And could backfire. .....
"Dems play same old hand: The Trump Card"
https://nypost.com/2023/04/08/dems-p...he-trump-card/
excerpt:
If you are a consumer of Democratic Party propaganda, you learned over the last two years that Donald Trump is not only a unique threat to democracy, he also single-handedly caused inflation, created the crisis at our southern border and ran up the scandalous national debt.
Just last week, you learned of two more ways the former president is destroying America.
First, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg declared that voters in the 2016 presidential race were deprived of key facts that could have made Hillary Clinton the winner.
Bragg appears to be insisting she lost because, in 2017, Trump reimbursed a lawyer for giving Stormy Daniels and two other people hush money.
Later last week, President Biden also tried to rewrite history by claiming that, despite near-universal belief that he, as commander in chief, was responsible for the chaotic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, it was actually and totally — drumroll please — Donald Trump’s fault.
A visitor from Mars might reasonably wonder who this fellow Trump is and how he remains a free man despite doing so many terrible things.
To which his tormentors could answer that they have a plan to end his free man status.
What would Democrats do without Donald Trump?
The short answer is they would have to find somebody else to hate and blame.
Donald Trump
Recent polls have shown as many as 84% of Democrats approve of the Trump Indictment case.

The obsession is not just a top-down manufactured political trick.
The party’s rank-and-file seems to have sworn an oath never to break ranks on two related fronts.
First, they swear to stick together on anything major and, second, anything that can be pinned on Trump is major.

A unity oath would be a coherent explanation for the incoherence of a blame game that can’t let go of the past and gives more power and responsibility to a former president than to the bumbling current one.
There is, of course, a method to the madness.
Biden’s record is a disaster both at home and abroad but polls consistently show he and his party are usually better off when the former president is in the news.
Trump’s endorsements in key races helped Dems retain Senate control in 2022 and party leaders and activists aim to build on that success by helping Trump become the Republican nominee next year.
