Smerconish: Why Trump can beat Biden in 2024 (CNN)

Michael Smerconish asks if Democrats should worry less about Trump stealing the 2024 election and more about him actually winning. Biden's approval ratings have ebbed as his presidency faces many big issues including the Delta variant, roadblocks to his congressional agenda, the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and inflation.

1. He writes as though we think there isn't a civil war going on.

There would be no Delta variant problem if we weren't in a war with rational thought. Afghanistan's withdrawal is getting better all the time. And the issues with the two lumbering Dems are well known.

We need more Dems in Congress in 2022. That should be the immediate goal. Loud and clear!!!

Ginning up the possibilities until they
manifest. Then claiming buyers remorse after the damage is done.

What the hell is wrong with people? Why do they keep putting their energy and effort to talk about something that must not happen, which is the buffoon even running? Lets change the discussion to discuss when the buffoon will be indicted and sent to jail for the multiple crimes he has committed before, during and after the presidency...

STOP talking about the buffoon being able to run, HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RUN! HE WILL BE BEHIND BARS!

This is with all the tools of the Presidency at Trump's disposal.

Smerconish asserts that it could have worked. This is not supported. Smerconish asserts that it could happen again. This is supported only by the observation that Trump and his allies are campaigning for Secretaries of State. Yawn.
