‘The Only Person Less Popular than Joe Biden Is Donald Trump’
Republican receives ominous Super Tuesday warnings on Fox News
Donald Trump can’t hide his weaknesses as a presidential candidate, even on Fox News.
The Republican exposed significant vulnerabilities even as he piled up wins in Super Tuesday primary elections, according to two political veterans of the George W Bush administration who appeared on the right-wing network.
Voters in 15 states across the country went to the polls Tuesday to choose who they want to see as the Republican nominee for president this year against President Biden.
Trump got closer to winning what would be his third Republican nomination, even if he lost Vermont to rival Nikki Haley.
Even still, Trump has reason to worry heading into a likely rematch against Biden.
“Everything I said about Joe Biden’s numbers, it’s disastrous, he’s the most unpopular president in history. [But] if you think he can’t win, I got two words for you: Senator Fetterman,” said Marc Thiessen, columnist for The Washington Post who served as a speechwriter for President George W. Bush, referring to the Democrat who won a Senate seat from Pennsylvania just weeks after suffering a debilitating stroke. “Voters have said that if they don’t like the GOP alternative, they will vote for a guy who just had a stroke, who had a debate where he couldn’t put a coherent sentence together.
“And Donald Trump is — the only person who is less popular than Joe Biden is Donald Trump,” he added. “A lot of people don’t want this choice. And so, it could go either way. It could go either way.”
Trump is failing to unify the Republican party, according to Karl Rove, a political strategist in the Bush White House, who held up a little white board on-camera which recapped the large numbers of voters not selecting Trump Tuesday.
“A very good night for him and it’s likely they will win the majority of the delegates by [March] 19 at the latest is probably accurate. Having said that, the high command of Team Trump ought to be concerned about unifying the Republican Party,” Rove said. “Because as we see in these states — one-third of the vote in Virginia, 43 percent of the vote in Massachusetts going to Nikki Haley, one-quarter of the vote in North Carolina, Maine is now dropping down to about one quarter but it was 31 percent for Nikki Haley, Vermont 48 percent — there’s work to be done to unify the Republican Party.
And that’s going to depend a lot on his tone tonight and whether or not he stops doing things like calling her ‘Bird Brain’ and threatening that if you give money to her campaign you will be permanently banned [from the Republican party] and we will see how he does tonight.
“He did well in Iowa with his victory statement, unified, humble, gracious. Not so good in New Hampshire and tonight will be the big night and he’s going to set an important tone for either a unified Republican Party or a divided Republican Party.”
