I think there are some dynamics you are missing this time around. Probably before your time but I remember the 1980 election. Everyone thinks Reagan beat Carter. But it wasn't Reagan that beat him. It was Ted Kennedy. With no chance to win Kennedy primaried Carter all the way to the convention. He bloodied Carter up so bad Reagan easily won the general.
Enter one Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. So far the media has been trying hard as hell to keep Kennedy out of the news. But it won't work. He's going to beat Biden to death. Gonna bloody Biden's ass up real good for Trump. And if Biden steps out and one of his stooges steps in, Kennedy will bloody their ass up to.
Another little dynamic. The number of voters identifying as Democrats was once in the high 30's, republicans low 30's. But now Dems and repubs are tied at 25%. A record 49% now identify as independents. Dems are the big loser here because they fell all the way from the high 30's where repubs fell from just the low 30's.
Why have so many defected from the democrat party? Pretty simple. WOKE authoritarianism. DOJ going after parents, Catholics, malicious prosecutions. Shoving transgender bullshit down everyone's throats. Female athletes being abused, made to take a backseat to males that dress up like women. A host of other issues that moderate liberals are sick of. They are realizing that voting for dems will just keep the abuse coming.
Another thing you misjudge is MAGA's. Do you know what I'm going to do on general election day if Trump doesn't get the nomination? I'm going to get up, make some coffee, turn the TV on....and watch everything that happens on that day. I won't be going out anywhere that day. And that includes to the voting booth. Do you know how many MAGA's are thinking like me?
No republican can win the general election without the MAGA vote. So go ahead and keep fucking with us. Go ahead and replace Trump. All us MAGA's won't be going to the polls that day. We will sit at home and watch establishment republicans get their ass kicked.
Paul Ryan is a known RINO. Just like his ticket mate, Mitt the Nit Romney, who will not make it thru the Utah republican primary this time around.
Thinking republicans can win by replacing Trump is folly. The one thing MAGA's know is there is no difference between an establishment republican and a democrat. They are identical twins. So there is nothing to be gained by going to the polls for anyone but Trump.
I accept my championship trophy! Thank you very much! I'd say I am going to Disney World, but I hate that place; don't worry, I hated it before they went full political.
I do somewhat recall hearing that about Ted Kennedy, but as I understand, it's not as if Carter was poised to win in a landslide. The one election that was during my lifetime was 1992, but that was a little bit different. Bush didn't get hammered in the primaries, or anything, but Ross Perot being in the race (the most relevant third-party candidate for POTUS in my lifetime) basically handed Slick Willy an easy win. Take Perot out and Bush would have demoralized him.
Ross Perot might have changed the Presidential history of my entire lifetime. If Bush had a great second term, now you're talking about four consecutive Republican terms and probably Bob Dole runs in 1996. I don't think Dan Quayle could have won, because he's one of the stupidest human beings to ever live, and there was a time that mattered.
I can't even really speculate what might have happened after 1996. The whole country might be different.
If you think the Left stole the election last time, then there is nothing that would prevent them from doing that again. You guys really shouldn't even bother to vote. Either that, or you could just admit that you're a bunch of liars who KNOW GODDAMN WELL there was no widespread election fraud. It befuddles me that Evangelicals could even support Trump. I knew that their sanctimonious sense of morality was a complete fucking lie, but I never thought they'd be so flagrant about it as to throw in behind one of the least personally moral people ever. These are the same people who had a problem with Clinton getting a blowy in the Oral Office?
First, I won't believe your numbers without a source. Second, I don't even know that you'll read this post. Third, I'm a Libertarian and don't care who registers as what. I do know where America is at on issues such as abortion and gay marriage, as a whole, and it's not with the fucking Republicans. If they learn to accept that, they will win more often. It's that plain and fucking simple.
Republicans have won without you guys before. Many of you were irrelevant, prior to 2016, because a high percentage of you didn't even vote...exactly as you suggested. They don't need you; they have never needed you; what they NEED is to concede, once and for all, on certain social issues.
Simple fact is: You're not a Republican; you're a Trumper. You drank the Kool-Aid, brother. It probably tastes a little like cum.
If Trump did win, obviously, it would be his last term. Going to have to replace him with someone at some point.
