Summer is not technically over, but it is over. Labor Day has passed. Everything matters more daily on the campaign trail because everyone is paying attention now in ways they were not before.
In the most recent polling, conducted by Donald Trump’s pollster for the Wall Street Journal, a poll conducted with both an online sample and a phone sample (🤷♂️), found Trump dominating the GOP field right now. The same poll shows DeSantis beating Biden and Biden beating Trump. If we take the primary numbers as real, we should also be willing to take the general election numbers as real.
But many people had checked out for the summer.
This race feels stuck. It feels like Trump is going to win. But the money, the number of candidates, the number of indictments, and the fickleness of voters suggest otherwise. Every day now matters.
If I could give a word of advice to the candidates, talk about the issues Republican voters care about. Right now, those are the border and the economy. Both give openings to attack the front-runner for his record in office, but both really give you a chance to connect to voters on issues that matter.
The front runner intends to relitigate 2020 and scream about indictments. He is running low on money. If you want to win, do not try to be his doppelganger. Set yourself apart on your record, your issues, and your agenda.
The press and Democrats are trying to keep a spotlight on Donald Trump. They all know that Trump feeds off the attention, and being at the forefront of people’s minds on the right helps him. They want him to be the nominee because the polling, as mentioned above, shows him losing to Biden. Other Republicans win.
Labor Day is now in the past. The voters are starting to pay attention. Engage or get out of the race.
James Comer and Jim Jordan need to stay the heck off TV until they can bring charges. (Even Chuck Schumer thinks they're on TV too much.) Speaker McCarthy needs to be on TV as often as possible saying the Republicans are trying to correct the results of the disasterous policies of the Biden Admin: (higher energy prices, higher grocery prices, higher utility rates, higher mortgage rates, decreased military readiness, increased ilegal immigration, the disaster in Afghanistan, etc., etc. etc. )
By almost every metric, Anericans are doing worse than they were before Biden took office, and things will get much worse if left unchecked.
The Repubs dont need to hammer Biden on Hunter's business dealings. They already have enough nails on which to hammer him.
This baggage that everyone is talking about with Trump was done purposely. This is how the left has planned it. Make Trump have so much baggage he can not win. Well as a Trump supporter that is what draws me in closer to him. If you walk away now the lefts plan worked. Now you can see another reason why Trump supporters will not abandon him. It is like when Jesus was being crucified and Peter denying him three times. With one other point, these stupid ads that are supposed brain wash you to move on only draws us closer. If there so much money able to be spent on foolishness. Why not put the money behind a candidate that would be better.
