National Review

Trump is unworthy of the Republican nomination.

Washington Examiner

Hugo Gurdon: Just because Trump retains all the excruciating qualities he ever had doesn’t mean he’s unchanged. In one important respect, he is very different now. He is a loser. And he knows it. Every fiber of his bulky being betrays what he can’t admit — that he’s fast losing the support he once enjoyed and the confidence it fed within him.

American Spectator

With his ill-timed presidential bid announcement, the Donald again puts his ego over conservatives’ ideas and interests.

RedState

For all those tuning into Donald Trump’s announcement of his presidential candidacy Tuesday night expecting to see a rip-roaring, fired-up Trump tearing into Joe Biden, trashing the fake news, and just generally riling up the crowd, you were disappointed.

You never let the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune get to you before. Stop taking the bait now. Ron DeSantis is not Jeb Bush. Glenn Youngkin is not John Kasich. Sometimes nicknames stick, sometimes they don’t. You’re on a cold streak right now. Ron DeSanctimonious is not Crooked Hillary. As for Glenn “Young-kin – sounds Chinese.” What the hell was that all about?

Stephen Kruiser: So much for my hope that we could wait until after Christmas to get the 2024 Republican presidential nomination slog going. To the surprise of no sentient being in the Milky Way Galaxy, Donald Trump announced that he would be seeking to head back to the Oval Office after the American political equivalent of a presidential gap year.

DC Enquirer

Trump listed the successes of his Presidency — in job creation, border security, energy independence, and the economy.

The Federalist

Former President Donald Trump launched a third consecutive bid for the White House on Tuesday as elites once again doubt — and try to tank — his prospects.

American Thinker

A promising beginning for Trump, based on a substantial and focused speech.

Fox News

A 2024 election in which Republicans are deeply divided would be an historic disaster similar to 1964.

Washington Times

Newt Gingrich: I am worried about the potential for 2024 to become 1964, when Republican Barry Goldwater was annihilated by President Lyndon B. Johnson. I lived through 1964, and I saw how badly a bitterly split party can devour itself.

Liberty Paige: Prolonged vote-counting always seems to benefit the Democrats.

WND

The entire Biden presidency is media fiction. The world knows this, with the notable exception of the Americans. Another two years of governance from the Marxist men and women behind the curtain and the nation will be too broken and too polarized to make the necessary financial and social repairs to save itself.

It’s hardly even believable: the stuttering, sputtering John Fetterman, a stroke victim who only rarely manages to utter a complete sentence, coasted to victory in the Pennsylvania Senate race. The immediate possibility, of course, is that Fetterman’s victory is due to chicanery at the ballot box.
