How Long Can Trump Stay in the Race?

I’m going to make a prediction and if anyone wants to bet against me, I’ll take the short odds.

My prediction is this: By Labor Day, elTrumpo is going to be dog sh*t in terms of 2024.

Why do I say that? Because increasingly he is forgetting the most important thing that anyone running for public office needs to do, which is to tell the voters why he should be elected instead of the other guy.

For all his nasty talk about Hillary and how she needed to be put in jail, elTrumpo actually made very specific promises during the 2016 campaign, and here were the top five:

1. Build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it.

2. Ban Muslims from entering the country.

3. Bring back manufacturing jobs.

4. Impose tariffs on goods imported from Mexico and China.

5. Renegotiate or pull out of the North American and Pacific trade deals.

There were other promises too, like cutting taxes (which is something that every GOP Presidential candidate always says), getting rid of Obamacare (that one went over big) and pulling out of the nuclear-freeze deal with Iran, although nobody really understands what the deal meant either then or now.
