"SNIP.....

A new AP-NORC poll finds Donald Trump’s popularity among Republicans is declining somewhat, with 71% saying they have a favorable opinion of Trump compared with 78% in a September 2020 poll.

The new poll shows only a narrow majority of Republicans — 56% — want Trump to run for president in 2024.

Dan Balz: “No one should underestimate former president Donald Trump’s standing within the Republican Party, especially the passionate allegiance of a substantial part of the GOP base. But there are some signs that, since the assault on the Capitol last year, his support within the party may not be quite as robust as it once was.”

1. Turns out if you keep throwing bloody meat at them, in the form of pain for others,

especially elites, the populist supporters will follow anyone. Being anti vax or anti mask does that.

2. He's going to be

the cheerleader for the repubs. For some reason TFG does attract large crowds and they like large crowds. He’s close with the Florida Governor because he will pardon Trump if Trump helps him become president in 24

3. He's not close to the Florida Governor. He called DeSantis dull or

something like that.

5. Isn't that what's called being frenemies?

4. Frankly, I don't his grip to be loosening. I want him to take down as many as are willing to s(t)ink

with the ship.

6. I occasionally look at Free Republic and Donald.win or

whatever it's called. These days there are hardly any posts with Trump's name in the title. Quite different from six months ago.

7. This is the same sort of incorrect assessment spanning back to 2015.

He leads a pro-fascist movement and is clearly leader of the Republicans.
