That great sigh of relief you heard on Sunday was the sound of Democrats and the media welcoming Donald Trump’s return to public attention with his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference. What would Washington Post writers do without him?
As for Republicans and Mr. Trump, the future isn’t as clear as the press and the former President would like. The CPAC crowd cheered his speech, which was largely a collection of greatest political hits. But if CPAC represented America, Mr. Trump would still reside in the White House, not Mar-a-Lago. He lost to Joe Biden, the old Democratic war horse, by seven million votes. He also lost five states he carried in 2016, even Georgia.
That’s the cold GOP reality as the former President seeks to dominate the party from exile and tease a 2024 comeback. Mr. Trump boasted about his record vote total for an incumbent President, and he took credit for every GOP success down the ballot in 2020. His estimable polling advisers, John and Jim McLaughlin, made the same caseWe welcome the debate, but if 2020 was so fabulous, why are Republicans shut out of power up and down Pennsylvania Avenue? They have zero influence over the $1.
This didn’t have to happen. Incumbent presidential races are typically consolidating elections as the party in power reinforces gains from four years earlier. The Trump years are a rare exception, as Mr. Trump never reached a job approval rating above 50% despite his policy achievements. The public dislike is personal.
opinion who ever said he was good for the GOP politically must've been asleep. He was a savior to the left politically after 8 years of historic losses
opinion Trump is a disgrace but now Dems won so it is time to push Republicans aside if they don’t help American people

opinion Ok, until “The Editorial Board” gives me a name,
opinion That’s easy, The Democrats used the Covid crisis to go around the state legislature in key states to change the voter identification rules. The Democrat Judges and officials approved it so it was not illegal (Some believe the Federal constitution was violated) but was unfair.

opinion Because they allow this
