Lol under what rock do you live under? A majority of the country does not “hate what he did when he lost” - though I sure wish that was true!! A majority of gop voters thinks he had every right to do it, and that he ought to have won , and should be our president now. FFS. THAT’S the gods damned problem.
And the GOP is a minority (by far) in terms of registered voters…
Debate policy at this point and genuinely put out reasons and examples as to why Biden and the democrats as a whole have been making your life better. Combat back that Trump/whoever has nothing better to offer in return.
People don’t really care about policy. They vote based on emotions. And Trump, or any Republican, is never going to debate on a national stage.
Also, it should be noted that Russia had a hand to play in 2016’s upset… via memetic weapons.
2016 he was a total political outsider, and a vote against the system. Now he’s deeply entrenched in the system and polling worse than house fires. He could win the Republican nomination but no way on the general.
Yes, she got more actual votes but there were a lot of Democrats that really didn’t like Clinton. There was a feeling of betrayal that the DNC went hard against the left of the party with the shortened primary where California basically didn’t even get to vote.
The Democrats had a very bad candidate who was hated. Despite the “Let’s Go Brandon” noise, nobody really hates Joe.
A lot of votes for Trump were protests against Clinton with the assumption she would still win.

hahaha, good one
I think the knee-jerk reaction is this will help him in the primary - at the very least providing a huge fundraising boost, but it’s hard to imagine this isn’t a massive blow to his chances with non-MAGA independents he needs to win the general.
Send him some money then

Demographic differences from 8 years ago are fairly significant.
Older people, particularly from Greatest Generation and Boomers, who were much more amenable to Trump and more forgiving of his indiscretions, have died off.
Millennials (currently the largest generation of Americans, and American Voters), are MUCH more left-leaning than Greatest/Boomer/GenX, and aging into more reliable voting patterns.
So Trumps most reliable voters in 2016 have gone down, particularly in midwestern states, and Democratic voters nationally, have gone up.
Policy aside, this is clear in any special elections, and in most of 2022. Trump demographics for 2024 are just not good. He doesn’t have to pick up more voters than last time, he has to
-
Pick up millions more new voters, due to so many of his previously elder voters dying due to natural causes or Covid
-
Influence millions of new/persuadable voters to come to his side, which may prove difficult, since he is someone that has a public profile essentially set in stone.
Biden basically doesn’t have this problem. He has a benefit of an increasingly large and younger vote, and can win by getting the same voting contingent as in 2020.
He won’t win. No longer electable. So let them waste their votes. The Democratic candidate will ultimately benefit from Repubs voting for their Loser, soon to be convicted felon DJtrump
He won’t win. No longer electable.
Flashbacks to 2016.
Because nothing has happened since then? Traitortrump has cost the GOP elections 3 times in a row now. When does reality enter the picture

Reality seems to be anathema to your run-of-the-mill Republican these days.

Reality left the GOP voter base a long time ago
Never, they’re Republicans. Anyone non-white is a threat to them.
