The Republican Party finds itself in befuddling circumstances as former President Donald Trump prepares to hold political rallies again, beginning this weekend with an appearance in North Carolina.
Trump was one of the only Republican candidates to lose a high-profile competitive race in 2020. GOP candidates won the majority of close races across the country, in the U.S. Senate, in the U.S. House and in state legislatures and gubernatorial races.
Yet the party remains stuck with Trump as its standard bearer for the foreseeable future, due to his intense popularity with a vocal portion of the party. A substantial majority of Republicans also say they believe his claims that the election was stolen from him, according to a recent Yahoo News/YouGov survey, and he leads the rest of the hypothetical GOP field in some early polls for the partys nomination in 2024.
But none of that means he is the GOPs best representative against a Democrat. The 2020 election would suggest the opposite.

Sorry GOP it's going to take a long time to wash off that Trump stink and Donny boy doesn't seem to want to let things go.

I wouldn't be shocked if he was to drive up to Charlotte from Mar-a-lago.

(12,463 posts)He'd run from 2020 and pretend it never happened.
He'd come up with some new divisive plank and go back to the old playbook with a different theme.
But he's not smart, so... 4 years of silliness.
