Rounding up Donald Trump’s mounting legal troubles, Axios’s Mike Allen observed the “weird” way in which bad news seemingly works to the former president’s political advantage. Allen concluded, “For the first time in a long time, top Republicans and Democrats are telling us the same thing, in the same words — Trump looks impossible to beat for the Republican nomination.”
The sense that Trump is unstoppable has grown in recent months, due to the outpouring of support following his indictment in the Stormy Daniels case and early stumbles by Florida governor Ron DeSantis, particularly when trying to thread the needle on Ukraine policy. This view has been bolstered by early polling showing Trump well ahead of DeSantis and the rest of the pack. But talking about anybody being inevitable at this point is absurdly premature.
