This ‘poll denier’ is suspicious of Twitter’s reinstatement of Trump

— which led to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and incendiary remarks by Trump using the very Twitter platform that Musk just allowed him back on. (Trump has never publicly accepted any responsibility for the attack.)Of course, there was the US Senate runoff in Georgia on January 5, 2021, where Democrats pulled a major upset by winning two races and thereby took control of the Senate for the first time since 2014. that takes us to this year’s midterm debacle that saw every single election-denying candidate Trump backed for statewide office in battleground states losing. These losses weren’t happenstance. Voters from Pennsylvania to Arizona sent a loud message that they rejected Trump’s election-lying candidates.
The list of Team Trump losers even included Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, known for her full embrace of the former President’s election lies as well as her combative way with the media — which was noteworthy given that she had been a longtime local TV news anchor. But when on Team Trump you are required to mimic the supreme leader.

Worse for Trump is that his future is looking just as bad. His presidential announcement last week received vocal criticism from a wide range of conservative media outlets.

But it was Trump’s one-time backer Rupert Murdoch whose New York Post won the award for the most brutal/comedic trolling of Trump. First, the paper buried Trump’s presidential announcement on Page 26 of the paper with headline, “Been there, Don that.” Then it featured an article mocking Trump with lines such as, “With just 720 days to go before the next election, a Florida retiree made the surprise announcement that he was running for president.”And it gets uglier for Trump from there. A Marist poll released Friday asked Republican and Republican-leaning independent voters who would be the best candidate to serve as the GOP presidential nominee in 2024. A paltry 35% said Trump would be that person. Add to that, 60% of Republican-leaning independent voters thought a candidate other than Trump would be a more viable option for the party in 2024. Oh, that has to hurt the thin-skinned, twice-impeached Trump.

Obviously, there’s a long way to go to the first GOP presidential primaries in 2024, let alone the November 2024 election. But the way it looks, Trump should bask in the glow of winning the Twitter poll, given that it might just be his last “election” victory.
