Current state of the Republican Primary, Oct 2023

The comments were significant enough that multiple Israeli politicians called him out for them.

Nicki Haley could beat Biden, but she won't get the chance.
Unfortunately it'll be Trump vs Biden again.
And Biden will 'win'.
Which means we'll have President Harris before long.
God help us all.

So you got nothing? All you did was provide us with three states to choose from that I guess in your mind had significant election fraud that cost Trump the election.
Hate to break it to ya but he lost because people don't like him.
And of those three states do you actually truly believe Trump won Arizona?
The other two I will concede are a bit sketch but Arizona?
Didn't some ninjas attempt to figure that out and came up short? Also ya can't say negative comments about the maverick and expect to win his state.
Really think

The fact Hailey (female George Bush) has above 10% is a damning indictment of the Republican membership. And Christie.

Not that this matters since the 2024 election will result in a Biden win with over 98% of the vote and a total turnout of over 5000%. The most "fortified" and "secure" election in US history! Each voter believed in Biden so much they voted for him thousands of times to reflect their level of support & admiration, clearly.

The 2% was a rounding error because the Fraudomatic 5000 runs on Windows Millennium.

Where do the voters go if their preferred candidate drops out? With Hailey doing better and better nationally all the time, and DeSantis losing support quickly, what if DeSantis were to drop out? Who would his supporters vote for after that? Would they go to Trump, or someone else?

I'd guess almost all would go to Trump, except maybe for Christie's...

That's illogical. If people wanted to vote for Trump they'd already be voting for him, the fact they are voting for someone else means they are looking for an alternative.

That other 50% that's broken into many candidates may not be never-Trumpers, some may even go back over to him eventually, but right now they want someone they think is better.

I made a mistake in the OP and misspelled Haley and wrote it as Hailey (twice). By the time I came back and re-read it, it was too late to edit.

It looks like you copied my mistake. My bad.

She is so lacking in notoriety I didn't even know it was incorrect. All I know is she sucks.

You mean the equivalent of the Israeli democrats...lol. He did not bash Israel and he did not praise Hamas. What he said, nicely, was that Israel F'd up and Hamas somehow took advantage of it. This is the truth.

Trump is the only president to get the embassy in Jerusalem. That was promised for decades. Anyone who would say he is not behind Israel is not being honest.

What is happening to the Republican Party reminds me of the movie They Live. If you never saw it, you should. Campy but funny as hell. When he puts on the sunglasses for the first time. He sees it. He understands.

Anyone who would go across lines to the Democrats right now is not a Republican. DC wants to show unity and how the MAGAs are coming but the truth is the uniparty is flayed and ready for inspection.

The fact that the Republicans cannot find a leader from their own does not affect the voter. It affects their own elections.

Best fist fight in any movie I've seen! Those two guys just keep going for like 10 minutes!

And I don't think many people are leaving the Dems and the Pubs to go over to the other side. Most people are going independent.

trump is already walking back his criticisms of Netanyahu in a big way.

I think that Desantis should win, Trump has too much hate in him now to effectively run the country. I understand that the Democrats and liberals are responsible for making him that way and I do not think that is right. I hope the Democrats lose a lot of power the next election. They are destroying our country with their anarchist ways.

I think there will be some surprises in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Contrary to what many on this forum believes, at least half of the Republican party does not support Trump.

I think Nikki Haley will be the surprise and Iowa will be close. Those against Trump will want to unite under 1 candidate and she has the least baggage as well as she matches up well against Biden.

Again with New Hampshire having a semi open primary, there will be voting who want someone besides Trump, so I expect it to be close there as well.

I would be surprised if Trump wins either Iowa or New Hampshire in a landslide.

If trump loses the primary in NH and Iowa, it will be because Obama stole it from him with direction from Hillary and Bill Clinton. It's an established pattern.

The Ron Desantis team is acting as if their candidate has lost already. Too many "youngsters" running the show, it looks like...

Christina Pushaw organized an online “influencer campaign” for Ron DeSantis that has failed miserably.

However, it’s still funny to see the confirmation, and the people from inside the operation telling the NYT the group gets daily email instructions.

Ms. Peck exercised little oversight of the campaign’s online operations, which were anchored by a team known internally as the “war room,” according to the three former aides.

The team consisted of high-energy, young staffers — many just out of college — who spent their days scanning the internet for noteworthy story lines, composing posts and dreaming up memes and videos they hoped would go viral.

At the helm was Christina Pushaw, Mr. DeSantis’s rapid response director.

Interesting how the campaign is spoken about in the past tense.

Did anyone see any fancy Memes and videos from these young brains running the online Desantis campaign?

From a journalist in Florida today...

Room is packed to the gills. Everyone chanting "Trump Trump Trump Trump" at the Florida Freedom Summit outside Orlando right after DeSantis left the stage. They're barely letting Trump speak, they're chanting so loudly. Never seen anything like this.
