"SNIP..........

“A whopping two-thirds of Republican primary voters say they stand behind former President Donald Trump and dismiss concerns about his electability, despite his recent criminal arrest and the other legal investigations into his past conduct,” a new national NBC News poll finds.

“That — along with his double-digit lead over his nearest potential GOP rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — makes Trump the clear frontrunner in the early race for the Republican presidential nomination.”

“The Republican Party’s continued enthusiasm for Trump stands in contrast to an anxious nation’s displeasure with how the 2024 race is shaping up. Substantial majorities of all Americans don’t want Trump or President Joe Biden to run for president in 2024, setting up a potentially divisive and uninspiring general-election rematch between the two men, with Biden expected to launch his re-election bid in the coming days.”

1. I support Biden 100%.

He's a wonderful President. So what if he's an old fart? So am I. I'm 76.

2. +100

3. "a potentially divisive and uninspiring general-election rematch". Media and their tiresome need

for a horserace.

Why can’t they just present Trump and Biden’s record side by side?

And compare their policies?

Pretty sure that would inspire plenty of voters to vote for Biden over the Trumpian disaster.

PS Biden is sharper and healthier than even younger men I know.

4. Shades of buttery males...

I love how the article is about GOP sticking with criminal and insurgent Trump and they manage to turn it into 'nobody wants Biden to run either'.

5. I support DeSantis in this.

Trump getting the nomination (which he will) is just waaaay to close to what would be a complete nightmare.

6. And the main reason is they don't want

to admit they were wrong and look like weak little liberals in the eyes of fellow racists.

7. Because the only people left in the Republican Party are Trumpsters. nt

8. Our society is sick

when so many gullible rubes support a stupid traitorous grifter like Trump.

9. "stand behind" is not the same as favorite candidate

He is running at about 49% which is ahead of the other Republicans but a dismal number for the leader of the party.
