Fox News Contributor Spots The 2020 Mistake That Trump Is Repeating

Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen on Thursday mentioned Donald Trump’s warning that donors to GOP major rival Nikki Haley will now be “barred from the MAGA camp” reveals the previous president and present GOP front-runner “hasn’t learned any lessons from why he lost in 2020.”

“When he says, ‘Anyone who makes a contribution to ‘Birdbrain’ will be permanently banned from MAGA,’ does that apply to Haley voters too?” requested Thiessen, a chief speechwriter to President George W. Bush and now a columnist for The Washington Post.

Thiessen then drilled down into the info to elucidate why Trump’s present alienation of Haley supporters might backfire if and when, as is broadly anticipated, she drops out of the race and Trump turns into the GOP’s presumptive nominee.

Trump misplaced to President Joe Biden in 2020 “because he lost 43,000 swing voters in three states and about 43,000 swing voters will decide this election next November,” Thiessen informed “Special Report” host Bret Baier.

Trump has to win them over, the commentator continued. But “they are not MAGA. They are either Democrats or center-right Republicans who are not big fans of his. He’s got to win them over and expand his base and not shrink his base” as Republicans worry he’s doing together with his assaults on Haley voters.

“You don’t ban people from MAGA if you want to become president of the United States again,” he added.
