This is what you get - Donald Trump trying rub everyone's nose in it, mocking the derision he received after telling the violent MAGA mob of Jan 6 to "remember this day forever" by repeating the phrase today in an email to supporters.


“Joe Biden has ruined our once great Nation. I’m determined to SAVE AMERICA,” Trump told would-be donors by email hours before his announcement from his Mar-a-Lago estate. “This day will be remembered FOREVER.”
Trump announcement of 2024 comeback bid will spark resistance but thrill Republican base (msn.com)

I will believe Trump is in the rear view mirror when his supporters run him out of town , and not before. We have seen this movie before. They say the love affair is over this time , and then as soon as he attacks Pelosi or Obama or Biden they hop back on board. These MAGA have really short memories when it comes to their hero and his mountainous flaws.

Trump announcement of 2024 comeback bid will spark resistance but thrill Republican base


8-10 minutes   Invalid Date






W ASHINGTON – Donald Trump, poised to launch a comeback bid Tuesday night, will start the 2024 campaign as a divisive but formidable front-runner – buoyed by unshakable support from the base and resisted by a sizeable number of party insiders.

Twice impeached and still refusing to acknowledge that he only won the White House once, the ex-president has led the hypothetical GOP field for months.

“Joe Biden has ruined our once great Nation. I’m determined to SAVE AMERICA,” Trump told would-be donors by email hours before his announcement from his Mar-a-Lago estate. “This day will be remembered FOREVER.”

Trump remains a solid favorite of the Republican base. In a crowded primary field, his plurality support – around 40% – could be enough to pick off rivals one by one as he did in 2016, until Sen. Ted Cruz was the last serious obstacle.

But some GOP strategists – and potential rivals – cast him as a serial loser whose refusal to acknowledge his 2020 defeat cast a pall over the midterms, and whose nomination would lead them to yet another avoidable defeat in 2024.

“Trump is dragging the party down,” Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor and erstwhile Trump adviser and defender, said on ABC’s This Week. “He said we were going to do so much winning that we would ask him to stop winning. Well, in 2018 we lost the House. In 2020 we lost the Senate. In 2021 we lost two Senate seats in Georgia that we should have won. And in 2022 we performed under historic norms for what was going on in this country and for being the party out of power.

“That’s a lot of losing,” Christie said.

Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s 2016 campaign manager and senior White House adviser, told reporters in Washington this month that Trump sees himself as the strongest nominee to keep Biden from a second term. And he’s “sad and disappointed and frustrated” at setbacks since he left office on energy independence, inflation, border security, Russia, Iran and trade policy.

“Everyday life is increasingly unaffordable. So Donald Trump feels I did it the first time, I can do it again,” she said.

Actively campaigning for president won’t shield Trump from any of the numerous investigations, including the Justice Department’s probe into why he had reams of official documents, including classified material, at his Florida estate that by law belonged with the National Archives once he left office.

But he will be able to more easily make the case that such investigations are politically motivated.

Pence: ‘Better choices’


Trump’s own vice president, Mike Pence, issued one of the most scathing, if understated, critiques of a comeback bid in an interview released Tuesday with ABC’s David Muir: “That’s up to the American people. But I think we’ll have better choices.”

Trump’s own vice president, Mike Pence, issued one of the most scathing, if understated, critiques of a comeback bid in an interview released Tuesday with ABC’s David Muir: “That’s up to the American people. But I think we’ll have better choices.”

At the U.S. Capitol, there was no huge hue and cry for a Trump comeback.

“I’ll support the Republican nominee, but I don’t know that it will be him,” Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who typically keeps his head down in contested primaries, told reporters Tuesday.

Roughly two dozen Republicans have been testing the waters for 2024.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is the leading alternative, with roughly half the support Trump registers in polls of GOP voters. That’s enough for Trump to slap a mocking if unexplained nickname on him – “Ron DeSanctimonious” – and to accuse him of lacking “loyalty and class” by toying with a run despite the help Trump had given him previously.

“If DeSantis and Trump both file, there won’t be much room for anybody else. They’re both such phenomenal candidates,” said Jennifer Stoddard Hajdu, the Dallas County GOP chair. “DeSantis is the one person I see that could attract the Trump supporters.”

She brushed off the carping on Trump over the midterms, blaming backlash on abortion as a much bigger factor.

“Trump’s policies are some of the best that we’ve had in any Republican administration in current memory,” she said. “I love Trump. I think he’s fantastic.”

Not all Texas Republicans are fans.

“Biden is a disaster. But Trump would be a worse disaster…. He’s a narcissistic, pathologically lying, delusional buffoon,” said Jerry Patterson, a three term land commissioner, adding on a practical level for Republicans that “every high profile race he got involved in was a disaster.”

Trump wasn’t the best or worst president, he said. “But he was the worst person to ever hold the office. And the irony of it now is there’s only one person Trump can beat. And that’s Biden. And there’s only one person Biden can beat and that’s Trump. That’s a race to the bottom.”

Will Hurd, a former GOP congressman from San Antonio, tweeted that the midterms showed that Trump is “a sunken ship, and entertaining his candidacy should be an easy pass for the GOP. America needs us to do better.

No red wave


Trump teased a presidential run for weeks in the runup to the midterms, starting when pundits, pollsters and strategists were still predicting a “red wave.”

The wave never materialized but Trump has forged ahead, inviting congressional allies and other VIPs to his Florida estate for the rollout.

In 2015, he and the future first lady Melania Trump descended a golden escalator at Trump Tower in New York for his launch.

That campaign, too, shook up the Republican Party.

Rivals, especially conservatives, initially dismissed him as a crude-mouthed, irreligious philanderer with little to offer besides celebrity and questionable business bona fides. He’d supported abortion rights and gay marriage. He’d been twice divorced.

Despite all that, Trump shoved aside one rival after another. Rick Perry, Texas’ longest serving governor, was an early casualty.

As president he delivered for the right “bigly,” as he liked to say.

He focused on building a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border, and has vowed to finish it if he gets another chance. The migrant crisis that has erupted under President Joe Biden has given Trump plenty of attack fodder.

He filled three Supreme Court vacancies, shifting the high court so dramatically to the right that it overturned Roe vs. Wade in June, ensuring Trump’s enduring affection among social conservatives who once had doubted him.

While Democrats have no desire to see Trump back in the White House, some are not entirely averse to seeing him prolong the GOP civil war. Many see him as relatively easy to beat in 2024, just as many of his election-denying acolytes fell in the midterms.

“This is a person who has undermined the integrity of our elections, has not honored his oath of office,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Sunday on ABC’s This Week. “He’s not been a force for good. So, I don’t think his candidacy is a force for good for our country. But that’s up to the Republicans to decide.”

Any number of Republicans view Trump as a loser in 2024.

“We all know he will lose,” former Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the GOP nominee for vice president in 2012,   said in a recent podcast   for the advisory firm where he works. “Or let me put it this way: We all know he’s much more likely to lose the White House than anybody else running for president on our side of the aisle.”

As for Pence, Trump’s fiercely loyal vice president now says he’s “prayerfully” weighing his own 2024 bid. He’s been using a book tour to amplify denunciations for Trump trying to overturn their defeat, and stoking the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on Congress as Pence presided over the joint session convened to formalize Biden’s election.

“It was clear he decided to be part of the problem,” Pence told ABC’s Muir. As to whether he could defeat Trump, he said: “That would be for others to say, and it’d be for us to decide whether or not we’d want to test that.”

I think its highly likely Trump wins the GOP nomination. All the majority of GOP voters want is someone who can "own the libs", even if the person doing the so-called owning is a demented buffoon. 

DeSantis cant do that and so he will eventually get trampled. 

Probably good news for the Democrats though. The majority of all voters is on to Trump's crap at this point.

We have yet to measure the effect the midterm failure will have on the GoP.   It depends upon the future strength of the MAGA contingent and the will of the rational members of the party.   Left unchanged, Trump will indeed win the nomination since he needs only a plurality of the votes to do so.   

If the GoP has NOT been shocked into change by the midterm failure, then here is the scenario:

  • Trump wins the GoP nomination.
  • Biden is invigorated to run again because he will surely win against Trump in the general.
  • We get four more years of Biden.

To wit, if the GoP does not stop Trump from winning the nomination, we are all stuck with four more years of Biden.    Far better than Trump but far worse than what this nation needs.

The other looming factors are potential criminal indictments of Trump.   Will these all disappear now that Trump is a candidate?   Would not surprise me a bit.

But of course his narcissism would dictate other than my suggestion - how naive of me.  Oh how the dollars will roll in for him now - he can rely on the ignorance of his supporters.  His first hurdle will be to get the nomination to be the Republican candidate, and let's see if those who do the nominating will fit my description as well.  I think they are going to be faced with a quandary.  If they nominate him they will have nominated the person who has just been proven the "kiss of death" for the Republicans, and if they nominate DeSantis, Trump will probably form his own third party and fight both the Democrat and Republican candidates, splitting the conservative vote and assuring a Democrat win even if it IS "Sleepy Joe".   Oh, I hope I live long enough to watch this circus.

Considering the likely candidates, you are likely correct.    The nominee of the GoP, if not Trump, would have found a way to bring the GoP together (to at least a plurality bigger than Trump's).  That would be a significant accomplishment and would suggest a personality who could compete in the general.   Trump, in contrast, will never win the general election.

But I'm not sure he can even beat Trump again.  

I think there are several candidates better than either of the old guys.  I also think their ages make a much bigger difference than they did in 2020.

Big donors are going to want the stability you were talking about.  It's going to be a lot harder for Trump to raise money than it was 8 years ago.

Adding to your thought ...

The dynamics at play in 2016 were very different from those in effect today.   Trump is now a known political character.   Just like Obama's changer-uniter halo of  2008, Trump had his anti-politician halo in 2016.   Both tarnished quickly.   Trump lost that halo and then piled on with his incessant lying in office, his Big Lie campaign and his removal and keeping of TS/SCI documents in his home and subsequent resistance to fully cooperate in their return.

Especially now after Trump illustrated in a very meaningful way that he has no political magic (re: the mediocre midterms) I will be interested to see just how many will continue to support Trump to be the GoP nominee.

If (unlikely IMO) Trump is able to increase his extant support, he will be able to keep doing the Trump thing and could win the plurality to secure the GoP nomination.   If not, then Trump being Trump in the dynamics of 2022+ could very well do him in.

I think that's fair. 

I also think he's going to have some difficulty because people are tired of the drama in our post-Covid recessionary world. He's also going to have difficulty getting free positive press like he did in 2016, and difficulty raising money.

I do agree there is an improbable scenario where he can become president again.  If DeSantis decides to wait 4 years (he's only 44) and Youngkin or Abbott either don't enter or don't stand firm and nobody else appears over horizon, Trump could get the nomination. 

From there, I think he can beat Biden or Harris, just based on how poorly they seem to understand what average people actually care about.  Biden will be 82, and he's already feeble as hell.  I think Democrats have better options, but parties are funny in that they often don't nominate their best candidates.

Really? Good old Huckabee seems to forget we have reels of oppo research on Donald! By the way, the balance of the 2022 mid-terms are being weighed against the "Dodds decision" affecting and ending federal abortion protection. Now then who championed states rights and 'stacking' the SCOTUS with hardcase pro-lifer justices, leading to its federal demise: Donald Trump.

Women and girls, mothers and daughters to be more precise-won't forget what Donald did just because its two years away. And more to the point:  Our girls and women won't give you another four years to legislate or "decision" their wombs. They would be fools to let Donald stack/attack them anymore than you have already!

Gee, who has suggested a President could stop all border crossings?

Of course it is a pipe dream.

But a President can damn sure have policies in place and demand better and more enforcement of immigration laws, his party could stop talking about amnesty, stop giveaways to illegal aliens, etc.,--you know, things that encourage illegal immigration rather than hinder it.

Not being able to recognize that is pretty telling. Enjoy the Kool-Aid.

Since we all agree that we can't stop them all, should we not at least try to limit it?

If not, just open the damn border up and we'll all just take our chances.

Nah, not a magic signal.    More mundane methods of communication.   
Television, text, internet, social media, smart phones, radio, etc.

I can tell you when it started.    Of course Biden needed to hide in his basement for awhile after this.

From the Democrat Presidential debates in September 2019:

“I would in fact make sure that there is, that we immediately surge to the border — all those people are seeking asylum. They deserve to be heard,” Biden said . “That’s who we are. We’re a nation that says, ‘If you want to flee and you’re fleeing oppression, you should come.’”

I could go on but am doubtful it would do much good.

Former President Donald Trump began his 2024 presidential campaign just as he ended his presidency in 2021: with a whole lot of inaccuracy.
