We\u2019ve seen this story before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dan Pfeiffer, a former adviser to former President Barack Obama, stated that Trump is a \u201ctremendously flawed candidate.\u201d Still, he added that one can&#8217;t declare him the weakest because none of these other Republicans have been on the national stage before. He further added that any Republican, including Trump, could win the election due to the Electoral College\u2019s contours.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats and mainstream news outlets had anticipated Hillary Clinton would handily defeat Trump in 2016. Polls had also depicted Trump well behind Clinton in swing states, although he eventually emerged victorious. Rick Wilson, an anti-Trump strategist who helped establish the Lincoln Project, claims that there are similarities between the 2016 and 2024 elections. With Trump in the media&#8217;s spotlight yet again, every corporate news outlet, from Fox to NBC News, features him as their lead story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of Democrats in 2016 were like, \u2018Oh yes, Hillary will wipe the floor with Donald Trump.&#8217; And I warned them at the time: Don\u2019t you bite that apple,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cI feel like we\u2019re in a very, very twisted time loop where God is punishing us for our sins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the 2016 win, several Democrats made statements to adopt a different approach toward Trump. Strategists told Politico that Trump will likely be the easiest candidate to beat in the general election race in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d say in a general election, Trump may be the weakest of the significant GOP contenders,\u201d Democratic strategist Mark Longabaugh informed the news outlet. \u201cAnd he likely will take on more water over time as several of the other legal cases play out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anne Caprara, a former 2016 Clinton super PAC leader, even argued that the odds are stacked against Trump in 2024. \u201cWhen we dealt with Trump the first time around, he was a different quantity. People knew him as an entertainer, and he had this kind of bulletproof image\u2026people saw him as this successful businessman who they\u2019d grown up with or seen on TV for so many years,\u201d she remarked. \u201cAnd I just think he\u2019s got a much different image now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joe Caiazzo, a former Clinton campaign surrogate, agreed and stated that the former president could suffer the consequences of the indictment. \u201cIt\u2019s tough to tell where the public will be by the fall of 2024, but getting indicted has never served a candidate well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5171468\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/04\/04\/id5171468-2023-04-04T171923Z_1_LYNXMPEJ330RI_RTROPTP_4_USA-TRUMP-1200x849.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Former President Donald Trump departs from Trump Tower on the day of Trump\u2019s p<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although Democrats should be pleased with former President Donald Trump\u2019s indictment Tuesday, some lawmakers have expressed alarm that they\u2019re walking into a trap. \u201cLast time people were rooting for Donald Trump, he ended up president of the United States,\u201d Rep.
