Pessimism

The New York Post’s Michael Goodwin writes a gloomy prognosis about the GOP’s chances to win the 2024 presidential race. And be clear, he is on our side, not a secret Democrat. Nevertheless, he writes:

I have concluded that, as it stands, the GOP can’t win with Trump, and can’t win without him.

Of the majority of Americans who might vote GOP for cultural or economic reasons, Goodwin believes too many have already made up their minds not to vote for Trump and too many more to vote only for Trump. Translation: Trump can’t get a majority but many of his core supporters won’t vote for another Republican. 

I’ve had many of the same misgivings myself. See what you think of Goodwin’s reasoning.
