robosmith Posted January 12, 2024 Report Posted January 12, 2024 January 6 Still a Big Liability for Trump Quote Democrats and independents still hold starkly negative views of Jan. 6, its participants and Trump’s role in stoking the riot. Majorities of Americans overall still believe now-President Joe Biden was elected legitimately, that Trump is guilty of trying to steal the election and that the federal criminal charges in Washington against Trump are appropriate. Even as surveys generally show Trump running even with the unpopular Biden or leading him narrowly in the horse race, Trump’s refusal to concede the last election and his actions leading up to the Capitol riot are significant liabilities for his candidacy. And it’s not just a poll-based hypothetical that direct ties to Jan. 6 or broader denial of the 2020 election results are a millstone for Trump and his aligned candidates. Only 14 months ago, voters in the midterms rejected the majority of 2020 election deniers — especially in battleground states — despite a political environment and generic ballot that otherwise favored Republicans. So most of you right wingers are judged IN DENIAL by a strong majority of US voters. Quote
robosmith Posted January 12, 2024 Author Report Posted January 12, 2024 The Ghost of January 6th Haunts 2024 Quote The long shadow of January 6, 2021, hangs over this election. Three years after a mob of Americans stormed their own Capitol, seeking to block Joe Biden’s victory and keep Donald Trump in the White House, Biden and Trump each began 2024 with plans to make the tragic events of that day the centerpiece of his campaign. For the incumbent, it’s the rationale for his entire Presidency and the most compelling reason to give him a second term—a continuation of the “battle for the soul of America” that animated Biden’s run in 2020. For Trump, it’s the false battle cry around which he hopes to rally the maga mob once again. Already, he has proved that millions of his supporters are immune to the truth about January 6th. It will be an incredible act of political sorcery if he can ride his lies about the 2020 election and its violent aftermath back into the White House. And yet, as the year begins, his chances of doing so are better than ever. To his original Big Lie about the “rigged election” in 2020, Trump has added ever more lies. He now calls January 6th “a beautiful day” and the nearly thirteen hundred defendants arrested in connection with the attack on the Capitol martyrs and “hostages.” In recent months as he has campaigned for his return to the White House, he has dangled pardons for the insurrectionists, to be issued “on Day 1” of his second term, and threatened instead to lock up the police who tried to defend the Capitol that day. “When people who love our country protest in Washington, they become hostages unfairly imprisoned for long portions of their life,” he told a rally in Iowa last month. This rhetoric is likely only to escalate in the course of the campaign, as Trump faces both a federal and a state trial on criminal charges connected with his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. In fourteen states, meanwhile, there is pending litigation to keep Trump off the ballot on the ground that his role in inciting the events of January 6th makes him an “insurrectionist” as defined by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution—a matter soon to make its way to the Supreme Court since both Colorado and Maine have already disqualified him from their ballots. Trump’s legal team is also challenging the federal case against him, on the basis that his extraordinary post-2020-election acts were part of his official duties and thus covered by Presidential “immunity.” One thing we can pretty much say for sure about 2024 is that not a day will go by without the ghost of January 6th echoing loudly in our courtrooms and in our politics. The Republicans’ modern-day political alchemist has, in just three years, made 2020-election denialism—and its corollary set of falsehoods about January 6th—a core tenet in the Republican catechism. Who’s to say where this will all end up? The prospect of Trump restored as President, back in the Oval Office on January 20, 2025, pardoning himself and all the other “hostages” seems a lot more real than it did three years ago. Quote

Of course, campaigns matter and this one will be no exception so it's anyone's game. Having said that - it would appear that while dems and indys disapprove of jan6, the majority dont' have STRONG feelings about it one way or another. They DO have strong feelings about the economy and Trump's economy was better than bidens. So what's the point of trump even talking about jan 6th? This little snippet from robodope's sources' source Republican voters have steadily grown more forgiving of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol — and in some cases, more supportive of Donald Trump’s attempt to subvert the election. Right now Trump is trying to win the nomination, not the election. So he doesn't care about how dems feel about Jan 6. Once he wins the nomination and has strong support behind him, then he'll switch to talking about the economy and interest rates and gas prices etc etc. And that is something dems and indy's DO care about a great deal. They won't be thinking about what happened in january nearly 4 years ago, they'll be thinking 'how will i pay for food tomorrow'? It's a decent enough strategy - the execution will be important but it's got merit. Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

Biden will have no choice but to play Jan 6 footage every single day because the basement ghoul won't have anything else to play. Trump, on the other hand, is going to kick the shit out of that pedophile, and part of that ass kicking will be playing the correct footage of Jan 6. Quote

I'm really not sure that would help him. In fact i think it would work against him. Biden does seem to be gearing up at least at this stage for a campaign of "trump bad - no do trump!". And I think there's a good chance he will fail and fail hard if he continues that through the actual campaign. For him to win he's got to creatively rewrite history to make his term sound like it was productive, and he's got to give people confidence that his next term will be great. If he's just "orange man bad" then trump will simply say 'sleepy man worse, orange man make economy go zoooom" and he'll win that one, people care more about about the economy and their fiscal health right now than they do about j6.

Trump would have 12 combination paths to gaining the 270 he'd need, biden would have 9. Trump has an edge at the moment.
