The 2024 GOP field is Trump and everyone else

When it comes to the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, there is former President Donald Trump, and then there is everyone else.

A recent Morning Consult poll found Trump leading 48% to former Vice President Mike Pence’s 13% among GOP voters. They were the only prospective Republican candidates in the double digits. The majority of the field failed to crack 5% of the vote.

After a failed reelection bid, a prolonged challenge to the results that has continued with at least one audit in a battleground state over 100 days into Joe Biden’s presidency, the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and two impeachments, Trump finds himself in the same position as when he took his trip down the escalator in June 2015: larger than the array of candidates who could oppose him. According to FiveThirtyEight, Trump was averaging 46.1% in the national polls the day he clinched the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

Trump has not said for certain that he will run, only that he is considering it. His potential legal problems are a wild card. Even if he does not, the uncertainty could keep prospective candidates on the sidelines — former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has already said she will not run if her ex-boss does — and lesser-known candidates from establishing the national profile they need to be viable contenders themselves.

Title and presumption:
"The 2024 GOP field is Trump and everyone else"

Corrected:
The 2024 GOP field is Mr. Trump.
If he declines to run, then it's "everyone else..."

Understand people, democrats must criminalize or make Trump ineligible.  This is why they cannot dare to let up on going after Trump, they know Trump can beat them.  The next massive election Trump dare not be ALLOWED and they must make him ineligible to run.  The democrats can then run turds like slick willy, hitlery, Obama, Biden and be certain to win for decades if not Centuries, with Trump out of the way.  Trump worked hard to restore the Republic, as the democrats have been working hard to tear it down, even recently burning cities, rebellion murder and rape in the streets.  And though democrats were in league with them, they just lie and deny and move on.
