He wasn't gonna get a fair shake from the MSM from the very beginning. Same goes for the deep state and many prominent members of his own party.

He was undermined and torpedoed for 5 years, and unlike other POTUS's, he lost wealth in the process.

I'm kinda surprised (OK, I'm really not - ego too big) he still wanted the job.

All that said, I truly hope he does not run again in 2024. Let DeSantis or Tim Scott have it.
Undermined and torpedoed? That’s an understatement 😂.  Hell- the left wing nuts had a million vagina March- where Madonna said let’s burn down the WH on Inauguration Day and there was Molotov Cocktails and window smashing in numerous cities.  That group that doesn’t really exist, andBeefa - tore the place up.

Never mind the Social Media censorship, the completely made up RUssia Russia Russia hoax which is now proven to be Dem made up and paid for, the Ukraine fake news which is now proven to be Biden family corruption, and the now proven what we all already knew crap about the Hunter Biden laptop -  how about the over 1000 local election laws that were changed within 30 days of the election? Mostly relating to ID and ballot validation.  Changed mostly by judiciary versus legislative- which is actually what is required.

Now having said that, Trump did have diarrhea of the mouth as I have said here many times before and definitely was his own worst enemy. But it’s kind of funny because Biden has diarrhea of the mouth too, just for different reasons.

ask for DeSantis, the attacks have already begun because they fear him. Why only yesterday he was labeled a Nazi pig and a dick face by the talking heads in the media. Literally. Because he has the audacity to sign legislation that basically says that other than parents, strangers and teachers shouldn’t be talking to kindergartners about their genitals.  In fact in most non-corrupt places in the United States if you talk to a strangers kindergarten kid about the genitals you will be arrested for pedophile.  As it should be.

Because when faced with facts and logic from other individuals, they remain unswayed.

That's not a joke, it's the answer to your question.
Except if you watch CNN you will never see any facts and certainly not any logic. But of course you would know that being their biggest fan.

As I've said before, most of what is on CNN (at least their web site) is factual.  It may be incomplete at times, but most if factual.

It will be up to the primary voters but I wouldnt bet against Trump being the man

Right now the dems have absolutely no one on the horizon that could give the republicans a run for the money and this is mostly due to how far left they have gone

Yeah- like when they said the Hunter Biden
laptop was “Russian Disinformation “. 😂👍

Or when they reported that “ a car” crashed into a Christmas parade in Wisconsin. ( must have been a driverless car🤥)

or when they called Brett Kavanaugh a serial rapist. 🤔

MOST of what they report is factual.  MOST of what they report is what others have said, like theh "Russian disinformation" story.  They reported that some former intelligence types said it had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.

That is entirely true.  Those folks did say that.  Their report of the stock market averages are factual, the basketball score is factual, that somebody said something is factual.

Right now their headline is what Zelensky said, and that is factual.

I'm not saying I like CNN at all, I don't, but I am very wary of any news outlet.  They can present facts in such a way as to distort the actual meaning.

Well, it's pretty classic to paint everyone on the other side with the same brush, e.g., every Democrat is a socialist etc.

I try and avoid those characterizations as not useful.

What you should avoid is painting anyone that disagrees with you as being “from the other side”

i’ve said 1 million times I couldn’t stand Trump and I’ll tell you now I can’t stand Biden.

But if you can’t see the incredible liberal bias in social media and mainstream media, which they themselves do not even deny, then I think you’re not paying close enough attention.

in fact I read a story the other day that new ownership at CNN is seriously considering going back to actually being a main stream independent news station versus their current extreme left position they take on every opinion and what they do and don’t report.  Frankly I’d like to see that.

The midterms are generally bad for the party in control.  Republicans lost 41 seats in the House in 2018, and I expect about the same shift this time.

"We" elect someone and then find they didn't deliver on their promises, so we try someone else, and back again, usually a President is reelected and then the other party gets the spot.  I also think our economy is going to slide, perhaps into a technical recession, by end of year.  It might be a fairly mild recession, but enough to tip us into stagflation.  Inflation (and the economy) is the key issue right now.

I then expect Republicans to spend a lot of effort on hearings and "investigations" that lead pretty much nowhere.  That is the best hope for Democrats in 2024.

All I said was something pretty clear, folks one one side paint folks on the other side with a broad brush.

There are plenty of folks somewhere in the middle who are less sided, they aren't in that conversation.

I saw a meme that said "Bring back Fullbacks" just now, and was wondering why they are mostly phased out.  I know it is much more of a passing league now (CFB), but good FBs could catch passes, they were almost akin to a TE.  Does anybody use the FB much today other than maybe Army?
