New Poll Shows One Democrat Would Destroy Trump In A General Election Matchup

The latest polls show that President Joe Biden is tied with convicted felon Donald Trump, but there remains talk inside the Democratic Party that Biden should consider dropping out of the race and pass the torch to someone else.

But who would be Biden’s replacement if decides not to run?

Based on a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, only one Democrat seems a sure bet to defeat Trump: Former First Lady Michelle Obama.

According to HuffPost, Mrs. Obama would easily defeat Trump in a head-to-head matchup, with a formidable 11-point lead over him, 50%-39%.

The new poll also finds that 56% of voters, including a third of Democrats, want Biden to drop out of the race amid growing concerns over his age and cognitive health, which were exacerbated by last week’s muddled performance at his debate with Trump.

The poll finds 46% of voters, including 19% of Republicans, want Trump to drop out.

The two are tied with 40% each in the new poll, while Vice President Kamala Harris trails Trump by 1 percentage point, 43%-42%, well within the poll’s 3.5 percentage point margin of error.

In other hypothetical matchups, the poll shows Trump leading California Gov. Gavin Newsom by 3 points, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear by 4% percent, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer by 5%.

Mrs. Obama also has an overall favorable rating of 55%. Only 42% of those surveyed said they had an unfavorable opinion of her.

However, there is one problem with the idea of running the former first lady in November: She doesn’t exactly seem fond of the idea, telling Oprah Winfrey in 2023, “I’ve never expressed any interest in politics. Ever. I mean, I agreed to support my husband. He wanted to do it, and he was great at it. But at no point have I ever said, ‘I think I want to run.’ Ever. So, I’m just wondering: Does what I want have anything to do with anything? Does who I choose to be have anything to do with it?”

Then again, Mrs. Obama has also admitted that she is absolutely “terrified” Trump might win again and implement his radical right-wing agenda for the country.

For now, at least, it seems a Michelle Obama candidacy will remain just a dream for Democrats. But if she did happen to enter the race, Trump would likely blow a gasket, especially if he lost badly to her.

Stephen King Goes Viral With Brilliant Clapback To Monday Supreme Court Ruling

Bestselling novelist Stephen King is furious with the United States Supreme Court for their Monday ruling which granted immunity to convicted felon Donald Trump for any “official” actions he committed while serving as president.

The 6-2 decision from the high court is being slammed by many who are concerned it will allow U.S. presidents to get away with murder if they can prove their actions were done as part of their official duties.

In postings he made on Twitter, King slammed the six conservative justices who provided the failed ex-president with blanket immunity.

“In the name of ‘originalism,’ Trump’s Supreme Court has taken a wrecking ball to the Constitution,” King wrote.

Later, King added,

“Thanks to the Supreme Court, the next president will have the powers of a king.

“That’s not what the founders intended. Quite the opposite.”

And then there was this from King: “Overturning Roe [vs. Wade over abortion rights] took power from women. Today’s decision takes power from all of us.”

According to Newsweek, the first post has garnered 1.2 million views while the second stands at over 3 million views.

King got plenty of support from others on social media, too.

The SCOTUS Immunity Ruling May Actually Wind Up Being A Nightmare For Trump

While Monday’s 6-3 ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court that a president has immunity from prosecution for “official acts” was widely seen as a huge win for convicted felon Donald Trump, the court’s decision could also wind up being a nightmare for the disgraced ex-president, according to legal and political experts.

Attorney Bradley Moss explained on Twitter that while Trump’s attorneys may think their client is now immune from prosecution in the multiple pending criminal cases against him, it also means that Trump is more vulnerable than ever when it comes to how he can be treated.

“The Supreme Court just gave Biden unequivocal immunity to order the military to take action against Trump. Today. Right now.”

The Department of Justice could also order the immediate arrest of Trump on suspicion that he’s working for nations hostile to the national security of the United States or part of a larger domestic terror organization that attempted to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021.

Such a finding from the DOJ would then allow for Trump to be held without bail until it can be determined whether he presents a clear and present danger to the nation and our allies. That would be a death knell for the Trump 2024 campaign and likely lead to his defeat in the November election.

Speaking of the 2024 election, the high court’s decision could also come back to bite Trump politically, according to CNN commentator and former Obama administration adviser Van Jones.

“The more you look at it, the worse it looks,” Jones said. “When you put it all together, basically, the Supreme Court said in the past week, no rules for the powerful, no rights for the powerless. So if you’re homeless, you can be thrown in jail for the crime of not having enough money to get a hotel room, but if you’re the President of the United States, you can commit an undetermined number of crimes under color of law and get away with it. This is not good.”

Jones added, “I’m telling you, this is going to backfire politically. Because what I’m seeing from the left now, if you thought people were discouraged by what happened last week with Biden’s performance, they are now outraged and terrified that Donald Trump is going to get in office and be a complete madman dictator.”

“So this is — politically, this is a gift to the left, though it is a blow to the country,” he concluded.

How sweet it would be if the right-wingers on the Supreme Court, in an effort to protect Trump, wound up setting the stage for his downfall.

New Poll Shows A Majority Of Voters Want Trump To Drop Out Of 2024 Race

As some Democrats continue to suggest that President Joe Biden should consider dropping out of the 2024 presidential race, new polling shows that a majority of voters want convicted felon and 2024 GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump to withdraw his name from consideration.

A YouGov poll conducted after last week’s first Biden-Trump debate suggests that while 45% of Democratic voters want Biden to step aside, 55% say he should remain in the race.

However, that same poll shows 54% of those surveyed say Trump should drop out. Only 46% want him to remain in the race, meaning that his numbers are worse than Biden’s.

And that same YouGov poll was also the topic of discussion on CNN, with Democratic strategist Maria Cardona and GOP operative Scott Jennings both using its results to suggest that voters aren’t enamored with either Biden or Trump.

Jennings said Biden cannot win the election and that members of the Biden inner circle are hiding facts about the president’s health.

But that led Cardona to cite the poll results regarding Trump and comment, “Hold on!”

Here’s the video:

Every approval poll shows that Trump is much more unpopular with the electorate than Biden. And independent voters repeatedly say they are more likely to cast a ballot for Biden than Trump.

Terrified Trump Begs SCOTUS To Give Him Total Immunity As Court’s Decision Looms

Later today, the United States Supreme Court is expected to finally hand down its decision on whether or not convicted felon Donald Trump has total immunity from actions he took while in office, including his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

According to Politico, “How the court answers the immunity question could determine whether there remains even an outside chance that Trump will face a jury on those charges before Election Day. No matter the outcome, the ruling will be a landmark: It will be the first time the high court weighs in on whether a president can be criminally prosecuted for actions he took while in office.

“’We’re writing a rule for the ages,’ Justice Neil Gorsuch said at the April oral arguments in the case.”

Based on a posting he made Sunday on his financially-troubled Truth Social site, the disgraced former president is worried about what the court will decide shortly after 10 a.m., writing, “It should be a STRONG IMMUNITY, where proper decisions can be made, where our Country can be POWERFUL and THRIVE, and where Opponents cannot hold up and extort a Future President for Political Gain,” he added. “It is a BIG decision, an important decision, a decision which can affect the Success or Failure of our Country for decades to come.”

He added, “We want a GREAT Country, not a weak, withering, and ineffective one. STRONG PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY IS A MUST!”

A ruling in Trump’s favor could wind up being a mixed blessing, as it would also grant immunity to President Joe Biden, who could then have the ex-president arrested and imprisoned indefinitely. Theoretically, he could also invalidate the results of the upcoming election and declare himself president by fiat.

No matter what the high court rules, it’s clearer by the day that Trump must be defeated at the ballot box this November and then have to face the bar of justice for his many illegal actions.
