Trump easily wins CPAC 2024 GOP presidential nomination straw poll

[essentialsaltes]

I said results will be presented in January. Since then, the Biden laptop story went from "Russian propaganda" and "right wing conspiracy theory" to confirmed.

No, per the NYT, it is now in "appears to" be territory. [Yes, for quite some time, certain emails have been known to be almost certainly authentic, but the total contents are not known to be authentic, nor the ownership of the device.]

Apparently, there were several hundred people gathered there. At one time, CPAC attracted 13,000 people.

Never forget!

Apparently chairs were removed before the event to make the crowds seem larger.

No, this is wonderful news. It doesn’t seem like the Republicans learned much from the last election. Maybe losing another will make it start to sink in just how bad of a candidate and leader Trump has been for their party.

Looking at the current polls, it appears as though your comment did not age well.

Real Clear Politics says that Trump's lead has already fallen to less than 1%, in a head to head, and he's behind if you add in other candidates. It's why he's desperately trying to avoid more trials before the election.

Is that an honor?

Despite all the lawfare Trump is still slightly ahead

Despite all the lawfare Trump is still slightly ahead

He's dropped about 4.5% since the trial, according to Real Clear Politics. If we get another trial before the election... Kind of ironic. When Trump was president, he tried to weaponize the Justice Department. This would have been "lawfare:"

• President Donald Trump said he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute his former presidential opponent Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
• The Times, citing two people familiar with the conversation, reported that Trump made the remark in the spring to former White House counsel Don McGahn, who told the president that he had no authority to order such action by the DOJ.
• To impress his point upon Trump, McGahn had White House lawyers draft a memo outlining the consequences of merely asking the DOJ to investigate his political rivals — including impeachment, the newspaper reported.

Problem was, people around him remained loyal to the Constitution. Trump will know better if he gets a next time.

Thank you for confirming what the trials are really about. Election strategy

We won't get another trial. Accomplices in high places are taking care of that.
But we are clearly watching a descent into madness in someone who didn't have a grip on reality to begin with.

I agree. Biden was much worse today

He's getting crazier and crazier. Can you picture what will happen to him in a debate?

Current polls are meaningless if the election isn’t today. Pretty sure he was far ahead in the 2020 polls around this time as well. Let’s not pop the champagne just yet.

I’m thought the trials were helping him gain support?

I agree. Biden was much worse today

I watched his D Day speech. It brought Trump's Normandy visit to mind, when he refused to get out of the car because it was raining.
Biden was respectful and reassuring to those veterans who gave their all.
Trump didn't merit a salute, huddled in his car.

Okay buddy. We'll see. I will bookmark this for later.

It has been working that way but that wasn’t the intent

I know right. I almost typed that earlier and decided to have a soak in the hot tub .

If history teaches us anything, it's that some folks simply refuse to learn from history.
