We are repeatedly told that Donald Trump is diminished and cannot win the primary. Gov. DeSantis, who we like, is named Trump’s successor, but if the Governor does come out ahead, they’d likely do to him what they’re doing to Donald Trump. The swamp doesn’t want conservatives. We could see a bait-and-switch with a more establishment-acceptable candidate, like Nikki Haley.
Two of the nation’s leading Republican pollsters with strong ties to Trump report that he remains “as strong as ever” to take the nomination and beat President Joe Biden.
The Polls
John and Jim McLaughlin, who run McLaughlin & Associates, recently released their poll that shows the former president ahead of DeSantis 48%-23%, just as popular as he was on Election Day last month, and leading Biden 48%-45%.
John McLaughlin said, “The continued attacks on Trump by President Biden and liberals in Congress galvanize Trump’s conservative base. The bottom line — Trump is still the Republican to beat, and actual votes for delegates are over a year away.”
The establishment “leaders” such as they are, will pull out all the stops to keep Trump from the nomination. The latest is the J6 kangaroo court referring Donald Trump and his attorney for potential criminal charges.
Criminal Charges
The Electoral Count Act that Trump used to possibly redo the 2020 election was open to interpretation. In any case, it never came to pass. Nothing happened.
Donald J. Trump posted on Telegram that Vice President Pence did have the power to send electoral votes back to State Legislatures for reapproval. He believes that on the advice of his lawyer John Eastman.
Both Eastman and Trump were criminally referred to the DOJ for believing that.
The Omnibus banned that process – The Electoral Count Act. If that weren’t the case, why have the act at all? It doesn’t make sense otherwise.
The establishment made sure that avenue was shut down in the Omnibus.
If you believe the McLaughlin polls, Donald Trump is still standing.
Possible Recession
In a recent article aggregated by Liberty Daily, WCIA reports, “Inflation, unemployment, the housing crisis and a possible recession: Two economists forecast what’s ahead in 2023.”
Rodney Ramcharan stated: “Indeed, yes, there’s a likelihood that the economy is going to contract in the next nine months. The president of the New York Fed expects the unemployment rate to go up from 3.5% currently to somewhere between 4% to 5% in the next year. And I think that will be consistent with a recession…
“In the last three months, the housing market has cooled sharply. We’re now seeing house prices beginning to fall. I would imagine, going forward, the housing market cooling is going to be a major driver behind the slowdown in the inflation rate and in real estate investment trusts. So that’s positive…”
Brian Blank, the other economist interviewed was more optimistic. However, as Ramcharan said, this “is all theory,” and they don’t know what will happen.
The fact is we are in a recession by the usual measure, housing is in major trouble, and food prices are skyrocketing.
This Is Why He Is Still Standing
Donald Trump said during his administration, “We had the most SECURE border in our history, versus the “horror show” that is happening now, with record setting numbers of people, many of them hardened Criminals (including Killers, Human Traffickers and Drug Dealers), POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY at a rate the likes of which we have never seen beofre. The USA is dying from within.”
That’s why he is still standing.

Trump pushed a vaccine that is killing Thousands..Millions world wide. Until he acknowledges that I dont know if I can vote for him.
While I do wish that President Trump would stop focusing on peripheral issues and old grudges and instead focus on the thing that made his Presidency successful – great POLICIES of deregulation, tax and trade treaty reform, border control, re-industrialization, energy independence, ending the endless wars, etc, I am all-in on Trump for a key reason. Trump stood up to… Read more »
I am no longer voting for Federal candidates. Total waste of time.
Thats exactly the response the left is looking for. If you are a Democrat then I say great. But if you are conservative. You need to get in the fight, or our country is lost for sure. Dont roll over like a little puppy. FIGHT !!!
Voting at the federal level is a waste of time. Totally controlled and totally corrupt. Look what just happened to Kari Lake. Deep-sixed by a deep-state judge. All corrupt.
I don’t care, it’s become the Uniparty, as so many claims and it’s quite obvious. Even most conservatives on both ends of the House are bought and paid for just like a gambler covering their bets. They buy both sides of the aisle and won’t lose either way. And those are merely lobbyists. Working for large corporations or industries who… Read more »
The GOP is not conservative or reputable. I do not get into the fight with them. Don’t roll over like a little puppy, do not support RINOs.
and all the other socialist democrats should follow your lead.
You really still believe that a malignant narcissist, fascist, sexual predator (probably a rapist), failed businessman (6 bancrupcies), habitual liar, tax evader, intellectual dimwit and multiple adulterer will ever be elected to be president again? Such a fluke only happens once. The majority of americans and certainly the rest of the civilized, democratic world despise this clown and wannabe dictator.
You cannot actually refute the value of Trump’s policies and the actions he took that produced peace, prosperity and secure borders – so you make up absurd personal attacks – typical leftist thinking. Consider Try reading up on Narcissism and understanding that Trump’s behavior with his own family, the high regard his business partners had with him are completely incompatible… Read more »
You are just too funny! Obviously one of those morons that swallowed Trumps lies line, hook and sinker. He was/is accused of rape (E. Jean Carroll), he has lied thousands of times (e.g. the size of the inauguration crowd), he threatened his fomer school with a law suit if they publish his grades ( a true sign of his intellectual… Read more »
Please enlighten us. Name Trump’s lies, his crimes as a president, and anything else you care to assert.
Any college student or adjunct professor from any progressive university can absolutely refute and ignore any achievements of the GOAT while simultaneously calling you a fascist, racist, and anything else to shut you down. Don’t doubt it for a moment.
Do not waste time providing justifications for your position, the leftist troll is here to make noise and get a reaction.
Boy….MSNBC sure has you programmed well.
I agree with you, Biden should not be President again.
Again? As if he’s president right now. That is Barack Insane Obama.
Judge not lest ye be also judged!
I´m not running for office! So who or what I am doesn´t matter to you at all…
True that. You do not matter to anyone, which is why you’re on here spouting; hoping you can feel relevant somewhere.
Leftist noisemaker, you gave cheap smears without ever giving a justification. That is called attacking the man, a known invalid method.
THE SWAMP only wants “establisment approved” conservatives such as the Mitt Romney slob who accepted millions of dollars in FTX contributions by the soon-to-be-fried Fried character.
Mitt, conservative?
The ‘enemy within’ is actually at the helm…steering the good ship America directly onto the shoals. The MSM/social media are it’s dumb, blind and speech censored crew…
Trump was a very effective president. He deserved to be re-elected. If he is the party nominee in two years I will vote for him again. But in a primary, I don’t know!!! Too many people I know are “never-Trump”ers. If his campaign has not already interviewed millions as to why hey did not vote for Trump, they are failing… Read more »
Screw the “Anybody but Trump” lunatics. For me it’s “Nobody but Trump.” Even if I have to do a write in. It’s either Trump or let the country burn. I’m tired of dealing with both parties playing us.
I think you’re suggesting that he did not receive more votes than Obiden?
Of course he didn´t! Biden won fair and square. There were the “Never-Trumpers” on the Republican side, the majority of the independants and of course all the democrats that voted for Biden. To not understand that simple equation and still claim otherwise is just lunacy – or Trumpism…
Communists lie, you commie.
OK, you are too dumb to do the maths. Thanks for proving it!
Dken can speak. You are unable to write proper sentences, yet try to ridicule others.
He is. Peter wrote about the never-Trumpers opposing an effective president, But he also used one of their fallacies, that voters turned away from Trump.
Come on Peter, Trump got 5 million more recorded votes than the first time, the 2020 election is not explained by voters turning from him.
