Former Attorney General William Barr said this week that he thought the Republican Party would be making a "big mistake" if it picked Donald Trump as its 2024 presidential nominee. Barr made the statement during a Thursday appearance on the Newsmax show "Spicer & Co." He told host Sean Spicer, a fellow Trump administration alum, that he thought Trump should not be on the GOP's 2024 ticket. "I don't think he should be our nominee — the Republican Party nominee," Barr said. "And I think Republicans have a big opportunity — it would be a big mistake to put him forward." While Trump has not formally declared that he will be running for president in 2024, he has dropped major hints about doing so. For instance, in January, he called himself the "45th and 47th" president in a video filmed by a golfing buddy. Senior Republican lawmakers like Lindsey Graham have also backed Trump's potential candidacy in 2024. Graham said in February that Trump has a "great chance" of becoming president in 2024 and that the spot on the GOP ticket was "his nomination for the taking."
Barr and Trump have had a tense relationship, particularly after a rocky stretch during the last months of the Trump administration. In March, Barr released a book called "One Damn Thing After Another," in which he refuted Trump's claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election, writing: "The election was not 'stolen.' Trump lost it." During an interview with NBC in March, Barr said that Trump never had a "good idea" of what the roles of the president or the Justice Department were. Responding to Barr's claims, Trump released a letter calling him "slow" and "lethargic" and a "big disappointment." The letter kicked off a feud between the two, with Barr calling Trump "childish" and accusing the former president of throwing a "tantrum." In March, Barr also prodded Trump repeatedly, saying Trump was not his "idea of a president." On a separate NBC appearance, Barr said working with Trump was like "wrestling an alligator" and that the former president loved being "surrounded by yes men."
Well, I read that article and nowhere in it could if find any quote of Barr saying "WHY" he thinks what he thinks. So...someone tell me why I should care about what Barr thinks.Former Attorney General Bill Barr says it would be a 'big mistake' for the GOP to make Trump its 2024 presidential nominee
Although I agree with Barr on this, I also believe Donald Trump's all-consuming narcissism precludes him from passing up a campaign run in 2024.
I think Trump running is the only way to guarantee a Biden reelection.Former Attorney General Bill Barr says it would be a 'big mistake' for the GOP to make Trump its 2024 presidential nominee

I guess for the same reason the dems are supposed to be concerned about Musk's opinion of the party?Well, I read that article and nowhere in it could if find any quote of Barr saying "WHY" he thinks what he thinks. So...someone tell me why I should care about what Barr thinks.
Musk has told us why he has his opinion. Why can't Barr tell us why he has his opinion?I guess for the same reason the dems are supposed to be concerned about Musk's opinion of the party?
It won't be a "Biden reelection", but yeah...Trump running would guarantee more election fraud and SOME Democrat would win.I think Trump running is the only way to guarantee a Biden reelection.
Barr has stated many times why he doesn't want Trump as the nominee. Was he specifically asked and refused to answer?Musk has told us why he has his opinion. Why can't Barr tell us why he has his opinion?
lolIt won't be a "Biden reelection", but yeah...Trump running would guarantee more election fraud and SOME Democrat would win.
Sorry, you'll just have to keep hearing the truth. I'm not going anywhere.lol
Take your dipshit conspiracy theories to Truth, you've played it out here.
I may be hearing the truth around here, but it sure ain't coming from you.Sorry, you'll just have to keep hearing the truth. I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not saying that at all.Seems you are saying that States where the Republicans hold the majority in the Governor Office, State Legislature, County Boards have not figured out how to run a clean secure election.
Not necessarily.If Trump does not run, does that mean the election would have less fraud and more Democratic winning elections?
I'm not saying that at all.
I'm saying the Democrats will find a way to win if Trump runs...even if they have to break the law.
Not necessarily.
If DeSantis runs instead of Trump, the Dems might have to break the law to win. We know they won't hesitate, either.
Wrong.ah, I see . So if a Dem wins it is because they broke the law, cheated or rigged the election. If a Rep wins, it is clean and fair election. Got it.
/ dismissed.
He is a true psychopath. He HAS to run. It will only benefit him. Rallies, adoration, and he can't possibly lose. If does, it must be rigged and he will continue to attack the cornerstone of his own country just to make himself feel better.Former Attorney General Bill Barr says it would be a 'big mistake' for the GOP to make Trump its 2024 presidential nominee
