Republicans Are In Trouble As TFG Has Killed 2024 Excitement
Politico reported on the decline in grassroots retail politics in the 2024 Republican presidential campaign:
The decline of retail in 2024 is the product of several factors, all of them accelerated by TFG. First, rival candidates waited for months to see if the former president would run and then, once he did, if he would implode on his own. When they eventually did get in the race, they were confronted by a tightened calendar, reducing their time on the trail.
...
TFG has shown himself to be a terrific motivator for Democratic turnout, as many Democrats would walk on fire to get to the polls if it meant keeping TFG from returning to the White House.
Republicans have a problem, and the lack of excitement and grassroots motivation are factors that are worth watching as we head into 2024. - PoliticusUSA

I appreciate your loyalty to big (D).

(28,373 posts)7. and to small d. We should emphasize small d continuously because
it is far more motivating than big D for many people, particularly the young.

(37,388 posts)5. It's sad IF any would be democratic voter
Had to be motivated to vote for any dem at the National level. Unless there is an incredible shift in politics in this country I need no motivation to vote (D) always. Trump is just another pimple on my ballot.

I would reanimate in time to lurch down the street long enough to cast my vote against the orange turd.
