Is Donald Trump a strong candidate in the general election?

Donald Trump's strategy is crystal clear. Trump's overarching strategy is this- 'everyone should clear the field because I'm inevitable. Why waste the time if you're going to lose anyway?' Trump's shills (I'm looking at you, Mark Simone.) play their role by suggesting that Ron DeSantis has a great chance at the nomination ... in 2028. Simone actually said that last night on Kudlow.

With all due respect to Mr. Simone, those of us who watch these things have noticed that Trump's polling isn't that strong, especially in battleground states.

One thing that GOP voters are thirsting for is defeating Joe Biden. If the election were yesterday and the GOP defeated Biden, it wouldn't be soon enough. We want him and Kamala out yesterday, if not last year. It's that simple.

Kurt Schlichter's column takes a few shots at Trump. For instance, Schlichter writes "Trump presents himself as unbeatable with an insurmountable lead, though his lead has slowly been surmounted. It’s dropping, but DeSantis’s numbers do not yet seem to be rising. Trump clearly knows who his main target is, and it’s not Mr. Friendly Tim Scott, Pious Pence, Establishment Nikki, or Trump’s tech bro Mini-Me Vivek. The Florida governor has a winning record and a bunch of achievements, and in typical Trump fashion, they go right at his strong points. COIVD hero? No, DeSantis was a COVID zero because of reasons, and ignore those videos of Trump hugging the Fauc and also MEATBALL!" Now, let's return to that first question. Who has the best shot at defeating Biden? Let's look at this:

That's stunning. If the GOP wants to win in November, 2024, the only way to win is to nominate Gov. Ron DeSantis. While Gov. DeSantis defeats Biden in the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania, Biden defeats Trump in each of those states. If Trump doesn't flip Arizona and Georgia back into the red column, Trump's toast. That isn't the outcome we want, is it?

I've said for months that Trump is a loser. This video of Trump's interview with Bret Baier proves that he thinks he's smarter than he realizes and that his talents are vastly overrated:

Bret Baier just annihilated Trump in that little 95-second video. To the idiots like Mark Simone, this is why you look stupid shilling for Mr. Trump. In that interview, Trump showed that he's a not-that-smart narcissist with less-than-stellar talent evaluation instincts. Other than that, Trump's mediocre.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
