To me, this article seems to be arguing that Trump will probably end up in the General election, but will lose by a wide margin because he has become more extreme and has pending legal action against him. I would say this sounds pretty similar to what many argued in 2016, though circumstances are admittedly very different now. What hasn't changed is my lack of faith in a large percentage of the American population who either don't vote or vote in hatred.
It's weird how people still bring up 2016 like 2020 didn't happen. I get it, we can't know for sure and people got burned that one time. But he's hardly a winner.
In fact he lost the popular vote both times and the candidates he backed during the midterms lost for the most part. His entire track record is losing.
Uhh, the Dems controlled the House after 2020, Manchin and Sinema notwithstanding.
Democrats won the White House and the Senate and retained control of the House.
Quit your gaslighting.
Yes - the 2020 where Republicans failed to gain control of either house and lost the presidency.
My mistake, I was thinking of 2022.
2016 was pure gift. He was as surprised as everyone else when he won. He's all in now, it's that or prison.
