Old Man Trump Is Looking Weaker and Weaker—Sad!
Old Man Trump Is Looking Weaker and Weaker—Sad!

Is Donald Trump starting to lose his grip on the Republican Party?
National Journal’s Josh Kraushaar recently listed a few data points that suggest that his glow may be fading. First, Trump’s endorsed candidate, Sean Parnell, was forced to drop out of the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania. Second, Trump’s endorsed U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, Rep. Mo Brooks, is losing ground to a younger candidate named Katie Britt. Third, the much-hyped Trump-Bill O’Reilly tour kicked off with a lot of empty seats. And fourth, Trump’s endorsed candidate in a Texas special election, Susan Wright, was defeated in a race to replace her late husband.
A fifth example, if I may, is in North Carolina, where, The Hill reports, “Despite winning the former president’s endorsement early on, [Rep. Ted] Budd has so far failed to become the runaway favorite in the GOP primary and has regularly trailed his chief rival, former Gov. Pat McCrory, in polling.”
This doesn’t mean that Trump won’t be the 2024 nominee, but a Pew survey conducted in September (published in October) shows that just 44 percent of Republicans want him to run for president again (and 32 percent want him out of politics altogether).
The New York Times’ Jonathan Martin called the majority of Republicans who don’t want him to run again the “gold watch constituency.” Like Mötley Crüe sang, “Don’t go away mad (just go away).”
