The Left is all in on stopping Donald Trump. But it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.
Because former President Trump’s just scored a major early 2024 win that has Democrats panicking.
The Democrats’ angle for 2024 is essentially a copy of their 2020 angle which is to simply run on an overdose of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and hope for the best when Americans go to the ballot box.
Even Democrat political strategists are skeptical of that plan because 2020 was anything but a normal year for obvious reasons, so expecting to just cast Donald Trump as some sort of reincarnation of Adolf Hitler himself and win every election cycle isn’t reasonable.
The fact that Donald Trump is ahead in all the national polls in a (likely) hypothetical rematch between himself and Biden is proof that he may very well make the most stunning political comeback in history.
More evidence of that? Donald Trump-endorsed candidates are faring quite well.
In Ohio, Donald Trump endorsed Senate candidate Bernie Moreno back in late 2023, saying that he’s the “outsider” that the people of Ohio need in Washington, D.C. to shake things up in the upper chamber of Congress.
“Bernie Moreno, a highly respected businessman from the GREAT State of Ohio, is exactly the type of MAGA fighter that we need in the United States Senate,” Donald Trump shared on his Truth Social account back in December.
So Democrats are claiming that Trump is more toxic, politically-speaking, than the fallout of Chernobyl’s nuclear meltdown. That would mean anyone closely associated with him wouldn’t be doing so hot, right?
Well sure that follows, if the first statement is true. But it apparently isn’t.
This week, Trump-endorsed Senate hopeful Bernie Moreno dominated the Republican primary for the Ohio Senate nomination. Dominated to the tune of winning by a margin of almost twenty points against the runner-up.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reports:
Moreno secured 50.4% support compared to state Sen. Matt Dolan’s 32.7% and Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s 16.9%, the AP projected at the time of writing.
After his win, Bernie Moreno put his Democrat opponent in the general election, Sherrod Brown, on blast saying he’s a “commie” who they’re going to send into retirement come November.

He thanked him and says we have an opportunity now to retire the old commie and send him to the retirement home 🏠

Sherrod Brown quickly took to the Leftist-friendly news outlets like MSNBC to react to Bernie Moreno’s major win and criticize him.
Brown came off as a man who is seriously worried about losing this November.

This seat will be a tough one for Democrats to hold on to. Surveys out of Ohio suggest that immigration is a top issue for the voters there and the Democrats have been polling terribly on that issue.
Moreno, on the other hand, has aligned himself closely with Trump on the immigration issue, saying that he has a “zero-tolerance” policy for illegal immigration. That’s a policy that is favorable in the eyes of most Americans, but one that Democrats can’t seem to understand.
