44. Don't See Him Being Elected

Sun Jun 25, 2023, 04:03 PM

He may very well be the GQP nominee. But I think there are more than enough people who realize the danger that will prevent his election. Die hard GQP voters may vote for him but moderate Republicans who aren’t part of his base may just stay home or vote for Joe. I know several lifelong Republicans likes I was who voted for Clinton and Biden. They saw past the Trump BS. Have faith.
