Do you still see a possibility that Donald Trump could win the 2024 election? This question is not for SSporter; you contribute nothing.

Well, I gave him no chance in 2016, but I didn't realize how much people hated Hillary. Trump got plenty of "I don't know much about Trump, but I have seen him on TV, and I know I hate Hillary" votes. Yet Hillary still won the national popular vote - by a long shot.

I'm surprised, and scared, that Trump still has as many supporters as he does. And from what I see the complaints against biden come from two places:

1) Bleeding butthurt Trump supporters - Biden is simply evil because he beat trump.
2) Liberals upset over Israel support.

Category 1 will vote Trump no matter what.
Category 2 may abstain or protest vote, but unlikely will they swtich to trump.

So the way I see it, the main factor in who wins has to do with how many 2020 Biden voters decide to stay home or protest vote. Trump is not expanding his base.

@trollslayer it feels so strange to me. The Israel issue is big, I get that. But Biden has done far better than I had imagined throughout his entire presidency. I felt I was holding my nose to vote for him in 2020. But this time around I actually want to vote for him because he's done so well on everything but Israel.

@ViciDraco I'm the same way. He has done better than I expected. And even on Israel - even though the Biden administration has backed Israel in the UN, he has still called out the Netanyahu government and the way they are waging war as well as the actions of Jewish settlers in the West Bank. That may not be good enough for some folks, but is WAY more than any other administration has done. I think his israel policy is appropriate considering both current circumstances and the USA's historic foreign policy.
