Yeah I was checking it out the other day when most media ignored Trump's visit to East Palestine and I thought the presentation was thorough and informative despite being slanted right. I watched a little of it the other day and came away impressed with their presentation as well as their content. It's a decent alternative to the corporate propaganda media which unfortunately Fox has now become part of.
I suggested the link specifically for Trump supporters because legacy media virtually ignores his existence. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN et all are still available for your NLP.
Ok. However, wouldn't this just be the opposite? Being pro-Trump 24/7 while blasting everything else?
Why would Trump supporters seek out legacy media for a fair or even accurate airing of their issues? Those are the same folks who spent three years lying to their audiences about him "colluding" with the Russians while ignoring the illegal spying and "colluding" being done against him by his DNC and Left wing accusers!
I'll agree with you there is an internal struggle underway inside the GOP against Trump factions, but clearly he commands tremendous support at the functional grass roots levels of the GOP, while the party establishment simply controls the operational apparatuses. They can't get much done without the grass roots supporters at the State and local levels (that's where the leg work and fundraising is done), and that is where Trump is strongest.
I'm going to push back on you a bit over this, although I think a lot of what you said here is correct. You can't win unless you secure your base first. In this respect Trump is clearly the titular head of the GOP. @SoCo correctly pointed out in another post the GOP establishment hates his guts, but Trump's appeal to voters (particularly among base GOP voters) is anti-establishment, which includes GOP king makers.
Well we'll see? Time will tell. Trump remains a significant force in American politics...while he's practically universally hated in the major media which controls a majority of the narrative about him most folks perceive (those who don't follow alternative media outlets) I still suggest he is the candidate to beat in '24. I just don't see anyone either announced or on the political horizon who can beat him (possible exception of DeSantis).
The only problem I have with this is "moderates" don't win either party's primaries! Typically the candidates who most closely align with the party's base are the ones who get the nod to be the party standard bearers. Once the general election comes around, the parties then try to hide their more Conservative or more Leftist radical support. In the case of the GOP, they have less to hide than radical Democrats since as I suggested, the country is center/Right, not center/Left.
Dems correctly assessed in '16 running radical crazy Bernie would would not sell with the centrist voters @spartansstink mentioned any candidate must win in order to win the general. While his income redistribution schemes were perfectly fine with the Democrat far Left, the party did all in its power to make sure he wouldn't win the nomination because he was too far Left for the country.
Literally any Democrat that wins their primary will beat Trump. Did the midterms not prove to you how badly Trump is viewed by the independents?
The priest that Hot Carled little Christian could beat Trump if he ran against him as a Democrat.
That's a fair enough point, certainly in some of the more high profile races Trump backed candidates lost key races, but he still backed hundreds of other candidates and I believe out of the total only around a dozen or so actually lost their races?
I agree with dvledog on this. Best thing Trump can do for this country is keep running in the primary and being vocal about term limits and open eyes of people. Let the media beat up on him . Don't do no harm to Desantis or any other good candidates. I don't believe Trump can win the white house.
