I would bet the Venn diagram of 'Harley owners' and 'Trump supporters' is nearly a circle. As an RC51 rider, I believe we could refactor this to simply, 'gullible people'.

jross Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 Biden would win in a landslide if he took the same stance.
mspart Posted December 16, 2022 Author Posted December 16, 2022 Like I said, I don't think Trump will be the nominee, and I don't think he will win if he is. Trump is damaged goods. He will not bring in the Independents who I think have had enough of the circus. Trump as a person was probably responsible for 50% of the circus, but the D's in Congress and the media fomented the other 50%. Media wants him to run for sure, money in their pockets. But I don't think anyone will take him seriously as a candidate again, enough to have him win. I think he ran last time as a joke that catapulted him to the WH. Even Jesse Ventura didn't run for re-election as it just wasn't fun anymore. mspart 1 1

mspart Posted December 16, 2022 Author Posted December 16, 2022 How will he do that? He may run as an independent and therefore torch the R candidate a la Perot. But burning it all down, I think you credit him with way more power than he has, which is next to zero as attested to in the last election. mspart

The GOP presidential primary is a likely going to be a crowded affair because Trump looks weak. a) Trump is able to replicate 2016 by getting a plurality, but not a majority, of the delegates and wins like 2016 with weaker candidates dropping out along the way. Trump then gets badly beaten by Biden. ~20 points. And drags down the whole GOP ticket as the Democrats run across the country against the Fat Orange Bloviator, who is likely in serious legal trouble by this point. b) Trump loses and tells all of his followers that the primary was rigged and 'the most corrupt evAR' and that they should stay home. This likely results in a GOP turnout drop of between %20-30 across the board in most elections.

He clearly didn't write that, or have a hand in writing it, other than blurting out nonsense while his speech writers tried to tune him out to get their work done. 2. He doesn't believe in free speech, he believes his lies (alternative facts) should go unchecked and unquestioned. If he had the ability he would go Russia/China level censorship of any criticism against him. Edited December 16, 2022 by Crotalus 1
jross Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Is #1 a problem? #2 is irrelevant to how important the message is. Anybody that supports censorship will lose the next election. The left better get on board. Edited December 16, 2022 by jross

And I agree he will drag them Rs down considerably. Regarding b), I think only the strongest Trump supporters (Trump or nothing. ) may sit out. That may be enough to skew the election. But I don't think so. I think they will get over it. I hope I am right. mspart

He's pretty much said he likes 'em dumb. I'm reminded of a story about how I like 'em... My wife and I have gone back to the same pizza joint in my "hometown" whenever we are back in town. The pizza is NY style, thin crust and they use quite a bit of olive oil, so it kinda drips when you pick it up. Everytime I make it a point to say, "I like my pizza just like my women, thin, hot, and greasy". She always gives me the same eye roll and head shake. It's pretty much a tradition for us.
