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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
