Opening graf:

Free Press, a media group financed by liberal billionaire George Soros, “is looking to incorporate global pressure to push Big Tech platforms to juice their censorship operations before the 2024 U.S. presidential election,” according to the Media Research Center….

“Free Press”, heh.
Yep, that’s Soros’ M.O. to a T.

The GOP got their clocks cleaned in 2006 and 2008, and an entire generation of young leadership ready to run for president either lost, retired, or decided not to bother running because the GOP nominee was a likely loser in 2008 and 2012. (We can argue about whether losing folks like George Allen and Bill Frist was good or bad for the party.) The bottom line is that McCain in 2008 and Romney in 2012 were not the party’s A-team. They were survivors who were kind of stuck between the discredited former party leadership and the then-new Tea Party movement which, having begun in 2010, did not yet have any candidates ready to run for President.

Current alternatives to Trump including DeSantis and even Haley are light-years better than McCain in 2008 or Romney in 2012. Defending Trump by pointing out that Romney lost in 2012 is just silly. (Especially when one considers, as I love to point out, that even Mitt Romney running against the first African American president in his reelection year won a higher percentage of the vote than Trump ever has.)

He can win (sometimes) when the other candidate is double plus awful, but that’s the ceiling for him and candidates like him – eking out an incredibly narrow victory when the other candidate is historically awful. More often than not, Trump and Trump-type candidates are going to blow winnable elections (2020, Hershel Walker, Mehmet Oz, Kari Lake, Blake Masters, Don Bolduc) or just get their doors blown off (Doug Mastriano, the entire current leadership of the MI GOP). That’s just reality. Again, you either deal with it, or get used to losing.

I’m not necessarily saying we need more Mitt Romney, and I’m certainly not saying that any sort of “landslide” is likely. (Except maybe this year with an historically awful Democrat candidate and the world on fire.) But more Donald Trump is a ticket to permanent minority status and permanent progressive control.
