I got quite a bit of blowback when I said last year that if Trump lost he would be running the party from Mar a lago as the president in exile. Welp:
As candidates begin to enter races for the 2022 mid-term elections, more than 8 in 10 Republicans (85 percent) say they would prefer to see candidates running for elected office that mostly agree with Donald Trump, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of adults released today. Overall, a majority of Americans (53 – 39 percent) say they would prefer to see candidates running for elected office that mostly disagree with Trump.
Asked whether they would like to see Trump run for president in 2024, Republicans say 66 – 30 percent they would. Overall, two-thirds of Americans (66 – 30 percent) say they do not want to see him run.
Six months after the 2020 presidential election, two-thirds of Republicans (66 – 25 percent) say they think that Joe Biden’s victory was not legitimate. Overall, Americans say 64 – 29 percent that Biden’s victory was legitimate. Among registered voters, it’s also 64 – 29 percent, which is fairly similar to polls taken in December 2020 and January 2021.
“The numbers fly in the face of any predictions that Donald Trump’s political future is in decline. By a substantial majority, Republicans: (1) believe the election was stolen from him, (2) want Trump to run again, and (3), if they can’t vote for Trump, prefer someone who agrees with him,”
said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.
I would love to know what it is they want their politicians to agree with? That Trump is the most persecuted billionaire in human history and it’s so unfair because he’s so very, very good? That he is above the law? That he is allowed to grab women by the pussy? That Vladimir Putin is a good guy? That the press should be locked up the way the Belarusian dictator locks up his critics? That dissidents should be sent to the gulag? What?
They don’t really give a damn about his trade war or even taxes since most of them just take the standard deduction like everyone else. They care about his disgusting, racist, grotesque, trolling of all the people they hate.
Us.
