Poll: Trump Trounces in Hypothetical Republican Primary by 47 Points
[Breitbart] Former President Trump trounces his potential competitors in a hypothetical 2024 Republican Primary matchup, a Zogby Analytics survey released Friday found.

The survey asked respondents, "For whom would you vote if the Republican Primary or Caucus for President was held today?"

Trump takes a dominating lead, as over half, 59.1 percent, chose the former president. No one else even came close, as former Vice President Mike Pence fell 47 points behind with 12 percent support. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in third with 7.4 percent, followed by former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley (5.2 percent), former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (2.2 percent). Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (1.6 percent), Sen. Ted Cruz (1.5 percent), and Marco Rubio (1.3 percent). Over 5 percent said they are "not sure," and 4.3 percent indicate they would vote for somebody else:

The survey, taken October 8-10, 2021, among 371 likely Republican primary voters, has a margin of error of +/- 5.1 percent.

Similarly, the survey asked the same among likely Democrat primary voters and found Biden leading with 40.2 percent of the vote. Former first lady Michelle Obama came in second with 20 percent, followed by Vice President Kamala Harris (9.8 percent), failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams (6.3 percent), California Gov. Gavin Newsom (4 percent), and Sen. Cory Booker (3.6 percent).

#2 Meaningless. Two years is a very long time in American politics.

Here come Da Wookie.

The Agnew-Ford precedent gives them a blueprint. First, Perv Magoo will push Kackala out of her VP slot -- send her to Paris as our new Ambassador to the Rive Gauche boutiques -- and replace her with Big Mike.

Then Biden resigns and becomes Headmaster of Miss Porter's School for Girls.

And Big Mike becomes America's first intersectional POTUS. Dr Jill becomes the new VP.

#7 I’d vote for Desantis over Trump because he would be far more effective at dealing with the deep state and it’s minions in the press. Truth is Trump sucked at draining the swap. Starting with appointing Sessions and leaving people like Wray in place, and his utter failure to roll heads at FBI, CIA, NSA, Justice, and flag rank in the military that resisted or slow walked his orders and policies. Plus he was too foolish to resist personal provocations and becoming side tracked, unlike Desantis. My hope is Trump is satisfied playing king maker, or better yet, run for Congress and become Speaker of the house, a far better role for his performance oriented persona. Imagine that. President Desantis and Speaker Trump. McConnel and the GOPe wouldn’t know what hit them, and they steamroller the progressives and RINOs

#8 I've never been able to figure out how Trump had so many really bad backstabbers in his administration. Lots of them were people who had no obvious reason for ever having been chosen in the first place (Omarosa, Scaramucci, Grisham) or maybe could be argued to be qualified but obviously didn't work out so well (McBastard, Sessions) There's a story in it somewhere.

#10 Lots of them were people who had no obvious reason for ever having been chosen in the first place (Omarosa, Scaramucci, Grisham)

Along with his fundamental shrewdness in sizing up rivals and situations, Trump has an incurable attraction to endless drama of the reality-show variety. Omarosa, Scaramucci et al. we're like characters from The Apprentice crossed with Survivor.

With a bunch of character actors in supporting roles for the comedy-drama: Mattis as Sarge, Tillerson as J.R., McMaster as Don Rickles-Turgidson, Stormy as Ginger and Hope Hicks as Mary Ann...
