In a recent article for National Review, conservative Fox News legal commentator Andy McCarthy implored Republicans to banish their belief that Donald Trump could win the presidential election in 2024.
In the article, titled “Why Trump Can’t Win,” McCarthy explained that Trump’s political momentum is waning – despite his sky-high poll numbers with GOP voters. He noted that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will jump in the race and that people’s belief that Trump has already beaten him is just silly. Trump, he argues, has already reached his ceiling; DeSantis isn’t even close to it and polls already have him beating Joe Biden.
“The governor is clearly doing everything a politician in his position would do to prepare a formal candidacy, but the best case for him as president is that he’s inclined to solving problems rather than tweeting about them,” McCarthy writes. “His best move is to finish the ongoing legislative session and rack up more accomplishments. That will take a few more weeks.”
If DeSantis gains significant support after announcing, “that would be a hopeful sign that Republicans still have a self-preservation instinct,” McCarthy writes.
“It is in the interests of the media–Democratic complex to obscure this fact for now because Democrats desperately want Trump to be the Republican nominee,” he opined. “But the question for every Republican is not “Trump or DeSantis?” Nor is it, “How would you vote in a matchup between Trump and Biden?” It is: “Regardless of whether you would vote for Trump in a matchup with the Democratic nominee (likely Biden), do you believe Trump could beat the Democratic nominee in a national election in which the vast majority of voters will not be Republicans?”

If Trump is the Republican nominee, then the Democrats will get another 4 years to destroy this country. It is as simple as that..
A pathetic clown, he said his real country it’s actually Scotland.

An establishment guy.
There’s always that ‘giveaway line’.
Saying that DeSantis is “inclined to solving problems rather than tweeting about them” just shows how he simply doesn’t get Trump, and that some of Trump’s style is causing him not to appreciate the unbelievable accomplishments he has done.
To mavenschoice: How many years would it take to destroy America?

So this Andy McCarthy guy thinks Trump cannot win against Biden. I wish I could believe that, but McCarthy is a Fox guy, and I can never tell when those folks are not lying.
There’s no way Trump could win in a general election other than through election fraud or help from a foreign adversary.

While Trump has a few accomplishments, mainly in the financial sector, and in relationship with israel, There is no denying that his style also alienated anyone in his camp like almost no other person before him.
With all his supposed genius and all, there is no arguing that marketing to the general public, and proving his outlandish claims, are not his strong points.

Yes, I dont think anyone is arguing that Hashem can make any neis He choses, the point is that, in the opinion of this articles author, barring a neis, Trump will not win. And I am inclined to agree.
See, I believe that the “always Trumpers” are quite foolish. Because even if you are convinced your right, why are you convinced that the majority is on the right side?
*not in his camp
