MARCH 26, 2024 | The way we see it, the Democratic Party should not be worried about the coming presidential election. President Joe Biden should trounce ex-President Donald Trump this fall.
Of course, even with a lopsided defeat, Trump will insist that he won the 2024 election, and that it was stolen from him, just as he did in 2020.
There’s one big reason why Trump will go down to an inglorious defeat. Lifelong Republicans are disgusted with the way Trump has ruined their Grand Old Party. It is no longer the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Robert Taft, Dwight Eisenhower, the Bushes or even Richard Nixon. Republicans can look fondly on their days with Ronald Reagan and John McCain, but they don’t look happily on the four years of Donald Trump.
And since Trump left office, these stalwarts of conservatism have seen even more crumbling of their long-held thoughts of the way the party should be run. In effect, Trump’s continual outbursts on even the most sacred of Republican viewpoints have caused these traditional Republicans to shake their heads in disgust. “Why is the man doing this to our party?” they wonder.
A big reason that what was once the Republican Party will fail (if it insists on nominating him), is that Trump has never been disciplined. He’s much like a cur dog, who has no master, and will pay attention to no command. He can’t understand that those who know him, people within his business ranks, people who he has had long supporting him are tired of his bullying ways.
Another reason that Trump is facing hard times: he simply can’t keep his mouth shut. Words spurt out with no thinking behind them. He’s in a constant uproar, frustrating people around him, chasing away people who want to follow him. When followers get to know him, they can’t understand his awful ways.
And though many followers continue to send him money, much of it often goes for his legal bills. We suspect the average person would also question these followers. After all, the reason they give him money is to get something out of him. In 2024, he won’t be able to deliver what these people want.
He thinks his self-centered ways will work wonders. He is not in touch with reality.
Now simply do this.
Compare the activity and decorum of Donald Trump against Joe Biden. You will note that there is a vast difference in the way the two contenders operate.
Biden is a product of 36 years in the Senate (plus eight more as its presiding officer as vice president.) He knows that to get things done, you must get people to cooperate with you. Do you see this in Trump? Of course not. He only wants to ram his way through in all matters.
Compare, too, what Biden has done in the three-plus years as president. First, he intelligently attacked the pandemic. Then worked his way with Congress to help save America’s infrastructure. Finally, by taking reasonable steps, he has halted inflation, leading the business community to having the best economy in the world today.
Small wonders. Donald Trump never accomplished as much as president.
These are some of the reasons why President Biden will prevail in the November election. And he may lead the Senate and House to a Democratic majority, too.
