As the presidential primary season commences, many career politicians, “experts,” and news outlets have already made one thing abundantly clear. “While Donald Trump might win the nomination, he has no path to win the general election” they say, or something to that affect. Some suggest that even Trump and his supporters secretly know this. These are bold statements for anybody to make so early in a primary cycle, let alone people who have decades of political experience. The average person could easily read those quotes attached to prominent names and assume they must be true. But as we have seen time and again

Yes, it is a myth but Trump has it within his power to make the path to reelection smoother. We, his angry MAGA supporters, are not the only group he needs to win.

Agreed, #1, and he did win those groups in 2020. It was taken from him. The only way President Trump does not win the primary or general is massive vote fraud. The “Trump can’t win the general” stories are are cover for what the dems and the GOPe have planned.

!884 - Grover Cleveland elected POTUS
1888 - Grover Cleveland defeated for reelection by Benjamin Harrison
1892 - In a rematch, Cleveland defeated Harrison to regain the Presidency
Anyone who says history can't repeated is a blithering ignoramus.

Trump is 2-0 in Presidential Elections. The 2nd victory was taken from him by way of pervasive corruption. He can cruise to a 3-0 record but will be inaugurated only if he (and only he can do it becuase the RNC will most definitely not assist) and his supporters can mitigate the corruption. Biden won only 477 counties - that's down from the 689 that Obama won so the footprint of fraud is actually shrinking. We know where the work is needed, it just requires will, funding, and effort. Happy to see Trump started a ballot harvesting initiative but will that be enough?

All these 'can't win' stories are only aimed at Republicans. Never Democrats. They are definitely myths. Btw, should DeSantis ever become the front runner, we will start seeing 'DeSantis can't win' stories. Should RFK Jr ever become the front runner you will never see a 'can't win' see. Same goes with Biden too.

#1 Agree! Marketing 101 says, "Sell Features and Benefits". And against the ineptness and disaster of the Biden Administration, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
But Trump will lose if he cannot check his ego and stop the immature, scorched earth assault on fellow Republicans.

Au Contraire! Trump calls them as he sees them. Republicans "reaching across the aisles" as many are wont to do and not sticking to Conservative values should be called out and who better to do it than Trump. He asks nothing from fellow Republicans he doesn't do himself.

Of course Trump can win in 2024 as this article makes clear. To do so he has to get votes exceeding the margin of cheat that the corrupt Democrat cities in the swing state will, as always, produce. I hope his campaign and the RNC are on top of this.
Trump must stop harping on 2020 and instead hammer Biden and the Democrats on the disaster to our country they have wrought. Give us an optimistic message and please stop riling up the emotional suburban women who are not on board with the “you are a nasty person” comments that his base loves.

Agreed. These articles about polling and popularity mean nothing. They are actually worse than nothing they are a distraction to keep the focus off of election fraud. For Trump to prevail three tactics need to be engaged: 1) Trump needs to continue being Trump - DONE, 2) Election fraud needs to be overcome - Trump 2024 needs to take this on, the GOP(e) is the trojan horse and, at the very least, is unreliable and, 3) The GOP congress needs to cut the purse strings to government agencies. That is the leverage available NOW to see actual processing of criminal charges ahead of the election cycle. Pressure needs to be put upon Congress as part of an overall successful strategy to regain the Whitehouse.

that garbage is just that - Garbage!! - our President not only won his first election but also won his second election but, as we all know, the gremlins with the bags and boxes of votes slithered into the voting areas of various commie led cities and changed the course of history
our President will trounce whoever the demcommies nominate, in an HONEST!!! election, in 2024 but it will be unfortunate that he would not be able to run in 2028, our country needs a strong, long dose of Donald J. Trump just to get us back on the right track, again

Two people are riding in a car. They find themselves hopelessly lost.
Should the driver turn to the navigator and ask for directions?
I say turn of the app!

Whether or not Mr. Trump can win the presidency is not the question. He proved he can do that against Hillary Clinton whose campaign enlisted the help of Federal law enforcement to prevent him from winning. My concern is fraud. Massive fraud in key states. How do you beat that?

#7 said it best.
Trump needs to stop trying to defend himself in public with big, and bold comments that can be misconstrued by the media.
He can point to the Durham report, which was thorough, as proof the attacks were baseless, and how they robbed the country of actively working to solve the problems.
Remind people he presented a good deal on immigration reform, which Democrats decided to reject over
$5 billion for funding of the border wall/fence/barrier (whichever you'd like to call it) because they wanted the issue to use against Republicans more than to solve the issue.
Point to how much trouble so many seeking to be here have had to go through since, and dealing with the cartels, particularly women and children being abused in many cases.
Remind voters how good the economy was for everyone, despite the now discredited rationale for any of the investigations the Democrats used.

I've been a passenger on the Trump Train since he came down that big beautiful escalator. I was boots on the ground in 2015-16 making sure that Conservatives and Republicans were ready to go on Election Day . Due to the fact that Hillary Clinton was and is a detestable human and could not be allowed back into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. That being said I agree with #1, #7 and #15. PDJT needs to sell what he did and what he will do for We the People, abide by Reagan's 11th Commandment and make known how bad FJB's regime has been for again We the People.

It's no myth that Biden, by hook or crook, now occupies the Oval Office. I learned at a young age that just because bigger kids had stolen and trashed the bicycle that my father had painstakingly rebuilt for me, that did not relieve me of the responsibilities for care, custody, and control of said bicycle. Had I blamed the loss and destruction of my bike on "GOPe" vs my own negligence and conflict avoidance strategy, my punishment would have been worse. While I thought I was being treated rather harshly, at the end of that decade I wound up following my father into military service, having to forge my own way and not follow my dad to the bank to pick up $400 million in "seed money." Looking back, I'd rather have had the seed money.

This article misses the main hurdle, election fraud. The GOP establishment will not address it and it will go on as before and Trump cannot win presidency, nor any Republican hence forth until election fraud is fixed.

#18 - Indeed. Phila, Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Phoenix, LAs Vegas - that's all they need.

He cannot win it if it is an "election" like the ones in 2020 and 2022 - which were utterly corrupt.

It is not a myth because Washington DC will do nothing to prevent another Democrat-stolen election
