In case you missed it our ex-president has been indicted a few times for his antics after he left the Oval Office….under normal circumstances this alone would be the kiss of death for political campaign….but not these day….if anything he adds fuel to the re-election drama…..

Multiple indictments, pending investigations, and being found liable of sex abuse and defamation in a civil suit apparently can’t keep him down: Donald Trump is even more in the lead in a new NBC News poll of 2024 presidential candidates. Per the Hill, Trump was the No. 1 pick of 51% of Republican primary voters. In second place was Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis with 22%—that’s nine points down from his April position, while Trump is five points up. Next up were Mike Pence (7%) and Chris Christie (5%); all other GOP candidates got 4% or less. Matched up with President Biden in a hypothetical election, the poll found Trump got 45% support to Biden’s 49%, Fox News reports.

When asked whether Trump should continue leading the Republican party, 49% of GOP voters said yes. Another 29% said the party needs a new leader “with better personal behavior and a different approach,” while 21% said Trump was a good president but should now pass the torch. Notably, however, while a CNN poll released last week still found Trump at the head of the pack, it found he’d dropped from 53% in a May poll to 47%. That poll found DeSantis in second place with 26% and Pence in third with 9%. It also found Trump’s favorability rating among Republicans had dropped from 77% in May to 67%

It is early in the possible match-ups….a lot can change between now and the heat of campaigns….but I do not see Trump having much problem beating the clowns that will challenge him in the primaries.

Biden is not so lucky….his numbers do not bode well….but again something could change all that.

How does it look from armchair?

This is it for the day for I will celebrate my birthday with Sue over a good meal.
