Dems’ plan: Make Trump nominee. Watch out for unintended consequences
Democrats’ Strategy to Defeat Donald Trump: A Clever Trap?
Let’s delve into the intriguing strategy the Democrats are employing to take down Donald Trump. To truly grasp their approach, we must ponder whether this is all part of an elaborate trap, as Admiral Ackbar might say. Could it be that the Democrats intentionally pushed for Trump’s nomination in order to run against him?
This trap was set in motion back in 2015 and 2016. Hillary Clinton subtly suggested that Trump wouldn’t run, secretly hoping he would become the Republican nominee.
And as fate would have it, she ended up losing to him.
Are the Democrats repeating history? Many have speculated that their relentless pursuit of legal cases against Trump this year has inadvertently boosted his momentum. The Republicans, feeling that Trump was unjustly persecuted, rallied behind him in the race.
Then, the Democrats anticipated that the following year would be dominated by Trump’s legal battles.
There is data to support this theory. Republican presidential primary polls showed that after the 2022 elections, Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis were neck and neck, maintaining their close race throughout January and February.
But something changed in March.
What happened in March? The announcement of prosecutions against Trump. This triggered a significant shift in the polls, with Republicans rallying behind Trump due to their perception of his unjust persecution. Moreover, they bought into his claim that the Democrats’ attacks on him were just the beginning, as they would also target Republicans.

This claim struck a chord because the Democratic Party had made it clear that equity was at the core of their policies. However, many Americans interpreted “equity” as special benefits for preferred Democratic voting groups, leaving everyone else with nothing.
So when Trump warned that they were coming after him because they were also coming after the average American, it carried some credibility.
The legal cases against Trump will continue throughout the year, consistently making headlines. This could potentially harm his campaign. However, there’s a flip side to consider. If Trump excessively rants about these cases, it may become monotonous. Just like a persistent ringing in your ears that your brain eventually tunes out to help you sleep.
The same principle applies when the Democrats and media go into overdrive, accusing Trump of fascism. It becomes background noise that people tune out.
I believe most Americans aren’t particularly invested in all of this. They think, “You went after him on a thousand different things, but none of them seemed noteworthy or crazy. We all remember January 6, so that’s already factored in. Trump’s controversies with women have been around since the 1980s.”
Ultimately, the Democrats are gambling on Trump’s legal troubles sinking his campaign. Whether that’s an amazing gamble remains to be seen.
Consequently, the Democrats are now resorting to backup strategies. One ongoing backup plan is their attempt to bar Trump from the ballot. However, this undemocratic move of banning political opponents is highly questionable.
All these tactics only strengthen Trump’s claims that they are out to get him, which, ironically, is what propelled him to the nomination in the first place — assuming he secures it, as I believe he will.
And there’s a good chance that none of these tactics will work.

Did the Democrats’ decision to continue pursuing legal action against Trump resonate with their base?
Ing after Republicans, it resonated with a large portion of the Republican base.
Now, let’s examine the Democrats’ response to this shift in public opinion. Instead of backing off, they doubled down on their efforts to investigate and prosecute Trump, even after he left office. This led to accusations that Democrats were using his legal battles to distract from their own failures and lack of accomplishments.
But what if this was all part of the plan? What if the Democrats knew that by relentlessly pursuing legal action against Trump, they could energize their base while simultaneously drawing out and exposing any potential weakness in Trump’s armor?
Throughout his presidency, Trump was known for his ability to deflect and turn any negative situation to his advantage. By forcing him to continually defend himself in court, the Democrats may have effectively neutralized this ability.
Furthermore, this strategy allows the Democrats to keep Trump in the spotlight, reminding voters of his controversial actions and behavior. They can use his legal battles as a constant reminder of why they believe he is unfit for office and why they are the better alternative.
In a way, the Democrats’ strategy resembles a game of chess. They are strategically positioning their pieces to trap Trump, forcing him to constantly defend himself while they position themselves as the party fighting for justice and equity.
However, there is a risk to this strategy. By focusing so heavily on Trump, the Democrats run the risk of alienating voters who are eager to move on from the divisive politics of the past. They must be careful not to appear solely focused on personal vendettas, but rather on policies and solutions that will benefit the American people.
Ultimately, only time will tell if the Democrats’ trap is successful. If Trump decides to run again in 2024, it will be a test of whether their strategy has effectively weakened him and positioned themselves as the stronger contender. If he chooses not to run, it will be a testament to the power of their trap and the influence they can exert over the political landscape.
In conclusion, the Democrats’ strategy to defeat Donald Trump is a clever trap that has been meticulously set in motion. Whether it will ultimately be successful remains to be seen, but it is undeniable that they have positioned themselves strategically and are playing a high-stakes game of political chess.
