Concerned Moderate is not a real group of people. It is Dems trying to pose as "moderates" or even "lifelong Republicans".SA68AG said:
Without getting a a big part of the "Concerned Moderate" vote Trump will lose.
Some of you may want to think about that and quit making derogatory remarks about a segment of the electorate
that we, as Republicans, will need to keep Harris out off office.

Yep. If the population is stupid enough to vote Harris into POTUS, then this country deserves everything it gets. I, too, have worked to insulate me and my family as much as possible, as the writing on the wall for the country has been pretty apparent for several years.Tom Fox said:
If people are actually dumb enough to vote for Harris, I say go for it.
I am insulated from the fallout in the short term and have enjoyed laughing at the idiots that voted for this as inflation and unemployment spreads like wildfire amongst them.
What will they do then? Continue to vote dem while working their 3 part time jobs to afford their $20 fast food burger?
LoL. In short, let them eat cake.

so because liberal judges wouldn't condemn the very people they are protecting it didn't happen. got it. who knew that bad guys who constantly **** on the constitution, are totally in bed with the liberally left haven't found any evidence.
i know i know they would never stoop to those levels they wouldn't turn the law again an opponent, they don't release criminals in liberal cities after violent crimes without bail they wouldn't dare cover up any of these shenanigans.

Trump's hubris, combined with a general Republican weakness to call him out put the party at a terrible disadvantage similar to what the Democrats faced with Joe Biden. Give it to the Dem party elites: they knew when to show him the exit.
The fact that a weak democrat candidate is up on him in the polls shows how bad a candidate he is.
He has been a horrible candidate from the day he came down that escalator.rathAG05 said:
Read the article. Barely beat Hillary, lost to Biden, the majority of people he pushes for office are terrible candidates and lose, and he will now probably lose to Kamala. With any other conservative at the head of the ticket, this election would be over. That tells you that he is a terrible candidate.

But he was a DAMN GOOD president!!
Maybe. But Trump makes it damn easy. He wears his ego on his sleeve. He calls people names. He uses superlatives that insult the intelligence of anyone with half a brain. He is not likeable. He hasn't been for 40 years.Artorias said:While Trump obviously makes it easier for them in many ways, the media would paint any R candidate as the next Hitler and evil incarnate, appealing to the "feels" of easily brainwashed LIV.GAC06 said:Quote:
Yet the political reality is that he has a ceiling of support that is below 50% because so many Americans dislike him.
Needs to be said again, but his base would rather cry about "feels" rather than open their eyes to the political reality.

Addressing future MIB should have been the top priority of the GOP 4 years ago. It wasn't.

How could it be? They don't have a supermajority in the federal government, and they don't have a trifecta in the purple states. The only place they did was in GA and they passed sweeping reforms.
If by "addressing" it you meant build up a substantial vote harvesting system then maybe you have an argument.
The problem is, the anti-Trumpers don't realize that basically every Republican nominee is going to have a ceiling of support of around 50% because the 90% of the media has never been more openly campaigning for the Dems than they have been since the 2000 election. This is way bigger than Donald Trump...but some are so blinded with Trump hatred that they don't see it.GAC06 said:Quote:

This is where his mouth gets him in trouble. We know the media will attack him. If he gave them nothing and just stayed on message and policy points, they'd have to cover that. Now? They can ignore his legit arguments against Harris/Walz on policy and focus on his comments about their race or other petty things. This has givein the impression to many that he's not talking about the clear policy advantages he has. It just doesn't get media coverage.MouthBQ98 said:
For years now, this has been about the leftist media and propagandists narrative and caricature of Trump Vs the reality of Trump. They've been very successful in relentlessly reinforcing the exaggerations and outright falsehoods about him.
Trump makes the error at times of seeming to confirm it.

Trump's personality accounts for some additional hate, sure, but I would venture that we'll be looking at basically the same uphill battle against the Dems, media, and pop culture in 2028 with someone like DeSantis or Youngkin. Even Mitt Romney, the most bland and 'safest' nominee you could find was demonized as hating women and children when he ran in 2012. He was made out to be cold and evil as well.
This isn't a problem that's going away with Trump.
I agree that Trump's personality by nature gives his enemies more ammo...but some of you need to realize that even if he said nothing, the media would still find a narrative or past statement/association to make him look evil. They did it with Romney, who provided no more than a 'binder' or family trip with the dog or saying that people who don't pay taxes won't vote for him.4stringAg said:
