PBS/Marxist Poll — bottom line: “The numbers say there’s no way Joe Biden can win re-election unless he’s running against Donald Trump.
__________
“Overall, 64 percent of U.S. adults said they do not want to see Trump become president again. That includes 92 percent of Democrats, 68 percent of independents and 27 percent of Republicans. At the same time, 34 percent of U.S. adults (including 71 percent of Republicans) want to see Trump get elected for a second term as president.
While Trump’s announcement that he would run again in 2024 was initially met with “some excitement among Republicans and Trump’s base,” Washington-Price said “you’re also going to see his numbers fall” as the GOP wrestles with “an identity crisis.”
Over time and across escalating legal actions against the former president, including an historic 34-count felony indictment, Heye said more Republicans think “Trump has too much drama around him, too much chaos.”
The Republican Party is increasingly on the lookout for a candidate who can focus on taking back the White House, rather than swatting at a growing number of scandals, Heye said. Once a viable candidate emerges, Heye suggested that will make a difference in who Republicans choose to support. For Biden, “you have the advantage of time,” but that will only last so long, he said. “The numbers say there’s no way Joe Biden can win re-election unless he’s running against Donald Trump.”

So if it is held that President Trump did play a role in an insurrection against the U.S., that disqualifies him from being U.S. president under the 14th Amendment,” Ramaswamy said.

If the New Hampshire poll is accurate, DeSantis may be finally gaining momentum.
I may have written him off too early. Here is a favorable comment about him:
“If this is accurate, DeSantis is winning with voters who have children in their households. Trump is winning with childless people and empty-nesters.
Is it any wonder? Trump supporters are seeking revenge for the past, while DeSantis supporters are seeking a better future.
That’s what happens when you have young children to worry about. Chaos and unpredictability get old and you realize that stability and sanity are the way forward.
I said last week that the mom-shaming from Trump’s surrogates would backfire on him. I also said that the Mamas for DeSantis movement would earn him more support from parents of young children. Hopefully this trend continues and I end up being right.
Going forward, I think this is the group that DeSantis needs to keep targeting, instead of people who could care less about the Parental Rights Bill or the psychological damage that Covid did to school-aged children. This is who he will continue to win over.”

California spends $42,000 per homeless person. It doesn’t go to the homeless. It goes to pay for government programs and salaries. If your salary depends on continuation of homelessness, your not going to want to end it:
“California put aside $7.2 billion to address homelessness in the 2021-22 state budget. Last year, there were an estimated 172,000 homeless statewide, which equates to spending nearly $42,000 per homeless person.
Spending of this magnitude – which only accounts for state money – is sufficient if it were applied effectively. The worsening crisis indicates that something is off with how the state spends its resources.
This perspective is important in light of a comprehensive homeless survey by UC San Francisco. Many of its findings are enlightening, but too many of its suggestions call for more spending.
It strains credulity to believe that spending $42,000 per person is insufficient, but if bumped up to $45,000, all will be OK. California does not have the worst-in-the-nation homeless crisis because it spends too little.
Continued calls for more government subsidies supporting the state’s ineffective housing-first approach will waste money while failing to alleviate the emergency. “

The fake Michigan “alternate” electors were not the actual electors, were never appointed by Michigan as the electors pursuant to Michigan law, had no authority to vote at all, and are charged with forging and submitting a fake certification of a vote that allegedly took place and then submitting that fake certification to the Senate and National Archives (and recording themselves attempting to file it at the Michigan Capitol but getting stopped by the police because the real electors we’re inside casting the actual votes, and then uploading that to YouTube).

The alternative electors, for the 2020 election, were chosen in all the states that had flagrant election issues. This is like what happened in the 1960 election, when HI certified the presidential election for Nixon, but also named alternative electors for Kennedy. Once ballots were sorted out, showing Kennedy actually won by a small margin, the Kennedy elector votes were honored, the original election decertified and given to Kennedy. This serves as a precedent now being deliberately ignored by the Dems, and a warning to others not to participate in any objections to a questionable election laden with irregularities.
These MI electors (mostly senior citizens) were named as alternatives on the ready, should election errors or malfeasance be proven, committed no fraudulent act. Sending disputed cases back to the states for more clarification has happened before. Pence knew this, but crapped out anyway, which is why he has cultivated the disdain of so many, including myself. Not only did Pence carry on with certifying an election burdened by so many questionable illegalities, but he did so by bypassing all the preparations of contrary evidence, indicating the illegitimacy of vote tabulations in many swing stays, done by at least 100 house members.
Fundamentally, there are many unanswered questions and injustices arising from our current election system. Having a corrupt DOJ, FBI, and state DAs trying to arrest, prosecute and inject fear into others only serves to increase the public’s impression that elections are no longer legit. Efforts to harangue a front runner off the board, as well as those who support him, is certainly not going to mend the fractures indigenous in both parties. It will now be the court of public opinion who makes the final 2024 election decision, based more on who they see as an evil villain, an establishment pawn, or a victimized hero.

He is NOT bought by Soros, Big Pharma, a Globalist, Neocon, establishment, Bush “approved” or a RINO. Anyone who believes this has been on Twitter too much.
In fact because he is NOT all those things…all hell will continue to be against him … unfortunately including the brainwashed cultists of Trump who have believed this BS.

I spent much of my life in Republican Utah which is fiercely pro-Ukraine. All the Utah Republican leadership attended a pro-Ukraine rally when the Russians invaded the Ukraine. The support is still as solid now:
“SALT LAKE CITY (Feb. 28, 2022) — Gov. Spencer J. Cox praised the courage and patriotism of Ukrainians in the face of Russian aggression and asked Utahns to support Ukraine during a rally at the Utah State Capitol this evening.
“The assault on Ukraine has exposed Vladimir Putin for what he is — a brutal dictator hell-bent on forcing his will upon another sovereign nation without provocation,” Gov. Cox said in a statement. “Tonight, as Utahns and as Americans, we stand united against oppression. We stand united for democracy. We stand united for freedom for Ukraine.”
He also emphasized that this is Putin’s war and urged the world not to retaliate against innocent Russian people.
“Many innocent lives are at stake, those who have fled Ukraine, those who have stayed fighting for freedom, and innocent Russians who live abroad as well as those who live in Russia under Putin’s repressive regime,” Gov. Cox said. “We pray for them all tonight.”
Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, Senate President J. Stuart Adams, House Speaker Brad Wilson, Rep. Jordan Teuscher and Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall also spoke before the crowd of an estimated 2,000 people. Fr. Anthony Savas of St. Anna Greek Orthodox Church, Rabbi Sam Spector of Congregation Kol Ami offered prayers, and a Ukrainian woman named Anna offered an impromptu prayer in Ukrainian. Vlada Yaramenko, Dallyn Bayles and Yahosh Bonner performed musical numbers. The flag of Ukraine flew above the east side of the state Capitol, freeway signs changed to “Utah Stands with Ukraine,” and state universities and private businesses throughout the state showed their support by projecting yellow and blue lights on buildings and outdoor features.”

3. Gov Jim Justice has the least–less than a million.
4. Far-right Mooney has met with Trump at least twice to kiss his ring and try to get Trump to endorse him in the R primary (Trump previously had endorsed Mooney for his runs in the House of Rep.). Trump so far has refused to do so. If Mooney sees he cannot catch Justice, might he drop bid for U.S. Senate and refile for safe Houe seat?

(Riley Moore–member of House of Delegates and nephew of Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, has filed to run for the House of Rep. seat that is curre3ntly occupied by Mooney).

Asserting “standing” is the cornerstone of how to circumvent litigation legally. Our legal system has become very partisan and, as Alan Dershowitz said, biased in its rulings. Wash DC and NY, for instance, are jurisdictions where Dems are far more likely to fare better in court than republicans do. That’s why court shopping is a common legal excursion these days.
There was relatively little legal help in the days following the 2020 election. The RNC just stood by, even though there were funds available to do more. Barr literally refused to accept letters from states implying there was fraud that needed his assistance to look into. The thousands of affidavits submitted were from the grass roots, voluntarily done despite facing legal consequences if they were deemed to be untrue. Look what’s happening to the MI seniors who became an alternative slate of electors should they be needed.

“I know that the D strategy is to file lawsuit after lawsuit against me and they know that it will drive up the number of voters in the R primary who will rally behind me and vote for me in the primary and help me win the primary. Then the D strategy in the GE is NOT to run on their record of successes. THEY HAVE NONE, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA! Their strategy is to run not on their record, l but to capture another 4 year in power–so they can do more stupid harmful things–by running a 100% negative campaign against ME and convince enough people that ‘Orange Man Bad’ and I am terrible and that even Biden would be a better choice than me. TRUMP IS BAD will be their only campaign issue!
“For the good of the party, I am withdrawing from the campaign to gain the R nomination in 2024. I want the R candidates and all R, I and D voters during the primary and GE process and to concentrated on the failures of the corrupt, inept Biden administration. The Biden bunch is totally out of touch with mainstream Americans and what they wish for the country and every day they are in power brings more harm to the American people and this great nation.”
“For the good of the country I am withdrawing. What I want is for America to regain its focus of freedom, family, faith…opportunity for all, with a level playing field for all–no special privileges. I am convinced that whoever the R candidate is will champion those things. And will also favor a return to sensible energy policies, sensible spending policies, sensible tax policies, stop government overregulation, stop the goofy and failed foreign affairs policies, secure our border, stop the runaway Biden inflation, stop the race baiting and the senseless and destructive fanning of racial divisions, honor the constitution and enforce the laws of the land and follow the rule of law. We can only do those things if we defeat the far-left and out of touch Biden radicals and remove them from power by electing a Republican as president who will once again right the American ship and get us back on track and give us a government that we demand and deserve.”

Suspend his campaign? Given Trump’s ego that’s not going to happen. The scenario is very possible that the trial is over by mid June at the latest and if convicted Trump is sentenced to prison or possibly under house arrest awaiting sentencing. In any event you would have a guy with the nomination wrapped up who is incarcerated and can’t campaign in the GE. Not even taking into consideration the indictments in Fulton County and DC. How do you like Trump’s chances with those jury pools?
Republicans. Forever, the party of stupid.

Nate Silver is being attacked viciously by liberals for pointing out that the evidence for a lab leak as the origin of COVID-19 was initially suppressed by Fauci & friends:
“@NateSilver538
This is a huge scandal. Scientists like @K_G_Andersen believed a lab leak was extremely plausible, if not likely, they concocted a plan to deceive the public about it, and they’ve been caught red-handed. There’s not really any ambiguity here. They are unethical as it gets.
@NateSilver538
The fact that people like you are trying to sweep this under the rug is an embarrassment to science. The facts are clear. Public trust has been severely—and deservedly—compromised. The least you could do is to start righting the ship by calling out their unethical behavior.”
(What was said in private was different than what was said publicly)
“Andersen (3/17/2020): “we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”
Andersen (4/16/2020): “I’m still not fully convinced that no culture was involved. We also can’t fully rule out engineering (for basic research).”

If Trump gets kicked to the curb because of being pushed down Indictment Alley, I find Vivek an attractive alternative. In fact he reminds me of a younger Trump in his fiery passion for issues I mostly agree with —- the border, immigration, pardons for J6 prisoners, 1st & 2nd Amendment rights, Ukraine, vaccine mandates etc. —- and that he is self-funded and not captured by big donors. Also, IMO, many others will default to his candidacy should DJT be fraudulently kept from running.

With the state of the economy, country and Biden’s approval numbers there is no reason why the GOP shouldn’t keep the house and take the majority in the Senate.

Regardless of what the policy or solution was. Brand who is no intellectual lightweight asked hard questions and RDS didn’t flinch at all. Brand was definitely impressed.
DeSantis’ broad appeal was on display in the long form interview. He appeals to classic liberals, libertarians, both social and fiscal conservatives. I hope you will take the time to watch the whole thing.

He has the distinction of supporting Ron Paul, and America hating racist terrorist loving porker who lost 150 primaries and caucuses in a row. He famously declared Iowa “Paul country” before Ron Paul got trounced there and has taken the position that Ron Paul would have been declared the R nominee if not for 90% of the R voters who think he is a certified kook.

I am amazed. Nate Silver is on a crusade to get the bogus Andersen paper withdrawn. It was originally published (at Fauci’s encouragement) to refute the Wuhan lab link theory. Then at a press conference, Fauci refer to the paper as scientific evidence there was no lab leak, without mentioning he had commissioned the paper.
“@NateSilver538
I’m not a big petition guy but if Nature isn’t ready to retract this paper on their own that’s a big L for their credibility and about as clear a sign as you can get that they’re elevating politics above science. This paper was not the result of any sort of scientific process.
@JBKinny
It’s been cited over 5800 times. Fauci cited it, in a press conference, telling the American public it was good evidence against a lab-leak. So it’s a *very* influential paper. And it’s fraudulent. It should be retracted.
@NateSilver538
Let’s start by 1) retracting the “Proximal Origins” paper; 2) having scientists like you (i.e. people sympathetic to the natural origins case) call out Andersen et al for their gross misconduct. Then we might have the semblance of an honest discussion.”

Although the Senator may be “sharp as a tack,” with hillbilly humor, his assessment that the DOJ wants Trump as the GOP nominee (because that’s who Biden wants) is a little off the track of reason. The never-ending, non-sensical indictments are more road blocks to the nomination than booster shots to insure DJT will NOT win the primary or GE.

Nothing is making the WCD happier than the election interference as part of their strategy. It will continue to cause a huge distraction the longer Trump remains in the race. Operation chaos on steroids.
I understand you believe that Trump has not been used as controlled opposition for the last three cycles. Even though the WCD gave financially to some Trump endorsed candidates. Most of which lost in 2022 primary or on Election Day. However no candidate motivates the WCD base than Trump. No candidate dis motivates moderate GOP voters and independent voters to vote for GOP candidates than him. The results in Georgia the last two cycles are a great example of this. The exit polls confirm this strategy and Arizona isn’t far behind.

The indictment for the classified documents was not BS. The documents were classified; he kept them when he shouldn’t have; he refused to give them back when they were subpoenaed; he hid them before a search was conducted; and he showed them to people who did not have clearance.
Had you or I done that, not only would we have been charged, but we also would have been placed in pretrial detention in a federal prison. So Trump is getting special treatment by not being jailed. And as of noon on January 20, 2021, Trump was no different than you and I were, a private citizen.
Despite all of this, all he had to do was give the documents back when asked (a privilege no one else would have gotten) and none of this would have happened. But because of his arrogance and stupidity (along with taking legal advice from non-lawyer Tom Fitton) he got himself indicted. The only saving grace he’s gotten is the trial judge. She is clearly predisposed to like his arguments.

Trump is getting special treatment alright (negative special treatment) and has since 2016. See Russian collusion bullsh*t for the last six years. Now THAT was special treatment alright. Not exactly the kind of “special treatment” that any other President in US history has ever received. Not even close.
But if it’s the positive special treatment that you claim Trump has supposedly gotten bothers you so much I’m surprised you’ve never once been bothered by all the special treatment your boy in the WH has gotten. Actually, of course, no one on this site is surprised at all you’re not bothered.

I’ll reserve judgement on the J6 and GA indictments (should they come), but I suspect the J6 indictment will be serious while the GA will look partisan. But we’ll see.
