Nearly every election-denying candidate Trump endorsed lost. His hand-picked candidates in a slew of states, like Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania, went down in a blaze of shame.<\/p>\n<p>Then Republicans and political pundits put the blame for the GOP\u2019s dismal showing squarely on Trump. Exit polls found that a hefty chunk of voters came out just to vote against Trump\u2019s candidates, and his presence was enough to throw some close races to the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>So far, so bad. But then came announcement night. Trump held the event at the gaudy ballroom at Mar-a-Lago with an elite list of invited guests.<\/p>\n<p>But as Trump bloviated, some of those people grew weary and decided it was time to leave. They were bored by what ABC\u2019s Jonathan Karl called an \u201cincredibly low energy\u201d speech \u2014 which timed out at just over an hour \u2014 so they headed for the exits.<\/p>\n<p>ABC\u2019s Olivia Rubin shot a video of a crowd moving toward the doors to leave as Trump rambled on in the background.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA crowd has formed by the exit of the ballroom as some try to leave Trump\u2019s announcement speech before he has finished\u2026. But security won\u2019t let them,\u201d she wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A crowd has formed by the exit of the ballroom as some try to leave Trump\u2019s announcement speech before he has finished\u2026.

He\u2019s still speaking now. And then they, I think perhaps a little concerned that the hall would empty out too much, they actually started preventing people from leaving, so now they\u2019re no longer allowing people to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not unexpectedly, CNN and MSNBC gave the speech short shrift. But surprisingly, Fox News cut away from his speech before he was finished and never came back.<\/p>\n<p>And things are going from bad to worse already.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven the Tea Party isn\u2019t fully behind former President Donald Trump, as one of the movement\u2019s founders, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund Chair Jenny Beth Martin, said her influential group wouldn\u2019t weigh in to the 2024 race until the Georgia runoff had concluded,\u201d the Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11435841\/Even-Tea-Party-isnt-fully-Trumps-2024-run.html\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once-cowed Republicans openly blamed Trump for the midterm election losses \u2014 something that wouldn\u2019t occur if he still wielded the clout he once had. And they also began to openly discuss other possible nominees for 2024, from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.<\/p>\n<p>The talk got so far along that political pundits began speculating about whether Trump would play spoiler by running as a third-party candidate should he be shunned by the GOP in the nominating process.<\/p>\n<p>Max Burns, founder and chief strategist at Third Degree Strategies, told the Mail he didn\u2019t think Trump would stoop so low.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter how poorly Donald Trump handled his loss in 2020, I\u2019m not sure he\u2019d be willing to stick his neck out for a third party bid that would almost guarantee not only his loss, but Biden\u2019s sweeping re-election,\u201d Burns<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11436619\/What-happens-Trump-doesnt-win-2024-Republican-nomination-Political-strategists-weigh-in.html\"> said<\/a>. \u201cBut Trump\u2019s unpredictability worries even Republicans: there\u2019s just no predicting what he\u2019ll do if his ego is bruised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But David Greenberg. a presidential and cultural historian at Rutgers University, told the UK paper that knocking Trump out will be a tall order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think that the GOP can \u2018cast Trump out.\u2019 How? He has money and media exposure to run in the primaries and if he wins, he wins,\u2019 Greenberg said. \u201cOn the other hand, if he loses and does run on a third-party ticket \u2014 a huge question mark \u2014 it would obviously be a problem for the Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the historian noted that even if Trump were to pull in 10% of the vote, that could kill the Republicans in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a nation divided almost 50\/50, where most of our presidential elections come down to very close votes in a few evenly balanced states, both parties need to retain the full breadth of their coalitions,\u201d Greenberg said.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
