Is he a stone cold loser? The editorial page of The Wall Street Journal certainly seems to think so, not to mention owner Rupert Murdoch. Thursday’s verdict was disastrous: “He failed in 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022.” As they say, it’s the guy in front.
Except he isn’t. So far, Trump’s balloon has failed to burst, at least in the Republican Party, propelled upwards by a fresh injection of helium, or, more proverbially, cash from the docile. .
Is he a stone cold loser?of wall street journal The editorial page certainly seems to think so, not to mention its owner Rupert Murdoch. The “he” in question is, of course, Donald J. Trump, or, as President Joe Biden likes to say, the former man.
Except he isn’t. So far, Trump’s balloon hasn’t burst, propelled upwards by a fresh injection of helium, or, more proverbially, cash from a docile base, at least in the Republican Party. The conundrum Trump poses was that the only thing worse than him being the leader of the Republican Party might be that he is not leading it.
Trump reportedly threw a tantrum on election night, blaming everyone but himself for the Republicans’ marginal gains in the midterm elections. If the Republicans win, he’ll deserve all the credit, but if the Republicans lose, he won’t take any responsibility. Moved to publicity. Trump is particularly fond of calling Senator Mitch McConnell an “old raven” who single-handedly denied the chance of becoming the majority leader. Kevin McCarthy may achieve his dream of becoming Speaker of the House, but just barely.
Democrats are also beginning to realize that Trump is one crew member to destroy the Republican Party. That’s why they helped back his candidate during this primary, which quickly flared up during the general election.Herschel Walker is likely to go next. Democrats should provide free accommodation in Georgia where Trump can campaign as long as he likes for Walker. They may consider another intervention in the Republican primary. This time in the presidential primary, it helps boost Trump’s fortunes. He appears to be the only person who can ensure Biden’s re-election.
Trump is regularly portrayed as a threat to American democracy, but in reality he is a savior. He’s the careless Paul Revere. No one has done more to show Americans the dangers that inflammatory cult leaders represent.
The Republican conundrum is keeping the voters he has attracted while stifling his own candidacy.of wall street journal The editorial was the opening shot of what appears to be a salvo of criticism directed at Trump. .
The more likely scenario is that battle royale develops within the Republican hierarchy, with Stefaniks, Vances, and Bankses already pledging their allegiance to him. They will sink with the ship. But Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin are feeling weak and ready to swoop in.
In 2016, Trump was able to launch a stealth attack to win the Republican nomination because his opponents had underestimated him. Trump is on the defensive this time. But even if the party rejects his nomination, he’s well equipped to run as the third candidate. I would rather see him win a second term.
