In a recent analysis by Philip Bump in The Washington Post, it seems like the mainstream media is already trying to write off former President Donald Trump’s chances of winning in the next presidential election. But hold on a minute, folks! It’s too early to be making sweeping predictions, especially when these biased analysts conveniently forget to consider certain key factors.
Analysis: So far, the story of the Republican nominating contest is that, if there has been any effect at all following the indictments, it has been to boost Trump’s position. New polling shows that Trump and President Biden are running about even. https://t.co/5HbmtY8gEA

Bump points to Trump’s legal woes as a potential roadblock to his campaign. Sure, he’s facing a few indictments, but let’s not forget that Trump is a billionaire. Money is hardly going to be an issue for someone with his financial prowess. So, while Bump tries to spin a narrative of a cash-strapped Trump, we can just chuckle and move on.
But let’s talk about the real concern here: President Joe Biden. Bump conveniently brushes over the fact that Biden has been spending money like a kid in a candy store, pushing our economy dangerously close to the edge of a recession. And guess who gets to take the blame for that? You guessed it – good ol’ Sleepy Joe. This reckless spending is going to have consequences, mark my words.
Now, let’s dig into the juicy polling numbers. Bump highlights a New York Times/Siena College poll that shows Trump and Biden in a dead heat. This is great news for the former president. Historically, Republicans are always trailing at this stage of the race, unless they’re the incumbent. So, for Trump to be neck and neck with Biden is a promising sign for all the red-blooded conservatives out there.
But wait, there’s more! Bump mentions how most voters today are deeply partisan, which means they stick to their party’s candidate like glue. This only strengthens Trump’s chances, as his loyal supporters will rally behind him regardless of the smears and negative media coverage. Democrats, on the other hand, find themselves facing a different predicament. A significant chunk of voters believe Biden is too old to serve another term. If only Democrats had the courage to show some real leadership and replace Biden, maybe they’d have a fighting chance. Alas, they’re too scared of being labeled racist or offending Kamala Harris to make the right move.
But here’s an interesting tidbit that Bump conveniently overlooks. A Quinnipiac poll released in July revealed that a whopping 47% of voters from both parties would consider voting for a third-party candidate. Now, imagine if even half of those voters actually follow through with it. That’s trouble for both Biden and Trump. The two major parties should be quaking in their boots at the possibility of a third-party surge.
In conclusion, it’s clear that the mainstream media is already trying to shape the narrative against Trump. But we conservatives see through their biased agenda. It’s too early to write off the former president, especially when he’s holding his ground against Biden. So, let the pundits talk, let the analysts analyze, but remember, folks, real Americans will decide the outcome come election day. Stay tuned for more thrilling twists and turns as we inch closer to the ultimate showdown.
