24 hours after Trump’s announcement…
Here’s what I think so far…
1- it wasn’t great, it was terrible. I think Trump is fine when he reads off the teleprompter. But an hour was too long, and his rambling isn’t as endearing as it may have been 6 years ago
2- Trump has set his theme: Miss Me Yet? That’s it. When I was president, things were good. Biden’s President, and things are bad. Vote for me, and things will be good again.
Pretty simple. Can be very effective.
3- No one is clearing the field because Trump announced. Save the off chance that Cruz or Rubio were going to run, everyone else is in. No Governor or former elected official has anything to lose by getting in the race, and they think Trump is weak enough to take on full force.
4- Miss Me Yet may not be enough to garner independents and even GOP women. I’d go further, and say it’s not. He has two years to figure out how to connect and close that gap.
5- The media is so happy he’s running! Two more years of hating on their favorite topic and getting to interview Liz Cheney non stop??? It’s a dream come true for their ratings!!
Or so they think. But more on that another time.
What do you think? Am I right or wrong? Let me know!
