Is Trump the Republican Nominee for 2024 ? - 2024 Candidate/General Election 2024

Guardian: Reports " Haley warns country 'won't survive' another Trump administration, DeSantis says he ‘didn’t deliver’ as rivals pile on ahead of Iowa caucus....."

Lets Get Real:

The two challengers to Trump have taken their time to get their claws out, it might be to late, the former President has a vast lead in Iowa and New Hampshire, the question is who will come in 2nd in Iowa, and will that be a good 2nd, a few points off Trump, a 2nd at Trump with a 20+ lead is no good, as soon as the Iowa result is in the candidates will be off to NH, sorry once the caucus's open the candidates will be on their planes to NH.  The Republicans should be wary of CNN, once the General Election starts that liberal force of the media will attack the Republicans, CNN, NYT, MSNBC and the left wing media in the UK.  They loath the Republicans and hate Trump.

Guardian Review of the Liz Truss's speech to the Party Conference - Liz Truss Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.55pm post the following, " Truss's speech - verdict from Twitter commentariat.....And this is what political journalists and commentators are saying about Liz Truss’s speech. “OK” would be a reasonable summary, in so far as there is a consensus.   "

Lets Get Real:

This is the LEFT WING Guardian, thus an OKAY from them means it was a great speech and went down well with the Party Conference and should with a pity of luck go down well with the Country.  It will be interesting to see how the speech is treated during the day by the 24/7 news networks and by the later BBC News at 10.  The PM was damaged by the need to abandon the 45p tax cut, she did not have the numbers in the HOUSE OF COMMONS, the Whips have to do a better job, put the fear of God in to MPs, they are there because they had the Conservative symbol by their name, that can be removed if they get out of line.  The Cabinet needs to recall collective responsibility, the Government should speak with one VOICE, and that is the PM voice.  On the whole a good day for the PM, let' see how the Markets are at the end of the day. 

Why Truss said NO to Channel 4 Interview - Conservative Party Leadership Contest

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.37pm post the following, " Sunak is regarded as a better media performer than Truss, and this may help to explain why he has agreed to sit down with Neil......Candidates who are well ahead in an election (as the polling suggests Truss is) are often reluctant to debate because they have little to gain and much to lose.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Sunak Campaign might be to slick for its own good, the UK is not the US, when Labour Party did it, we had New Labour, Tony Blair and the Iraq War and it didn't end well, while Blair was applauded out of the House of Commons we had Gordon Brown as PM, that was a disaster from start to finish.  Thus UK voters and Conservative Members might be wary of being a Presidential Candidate for PM.  The very fact that Truss is not great on TV shows that she is REAL, no polish, the real thing.  Let's recall Lady T changed her image over the years, she become a natural on TV.  Thus one can expect should Liz Truss becomes PM she will will improve her tv performance.   The focus today will be the debate on BBC 1 at 9 between Sunak and Truss, it will be interesting to see their different presentation style, Sunak slick, while Truss is is less so.   Let's be honest neither of them is PM Boris, but then that is the reason Boris fell, you can be natural on TV and funny and still be bought down by your faults.    Sunak has to get the Conservative members to have another look at him, he needs to say something nice about Boris, even if does not mean it, he has to look sorry for his part in the Boris downfall.  While Truss has to defend her tax cuts pledge and be ready for Sunak to go for her throat, that is the only way he can win. 

Sunak to take on Andrew Neil - Conservative Leadership Contest

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.46pm post the following, " Sunak takes jab at Truss for declining Andrew Neil interview....Rishi Sunak has taken a swipe at his leadership rival Liz Truss for declining to take part in a live interview on Channel 4 this Friday with political journalist Andrew Neil.  "

Lets Get Real: 

The Foreign Secretary is WISE not to go on Andrew Neil show, he is a great reporter and reads the fine print, he is not going to give Sunak a easy interview, he will look at his record as Chancellor, also the biggest tax hike since 1949.  The Sunak Campaign has nothing to lose, it needs to make up with the Conservative grass roots, they do not trust him for putting the political knife in to PM Boris, also taxes at a 70 year high do not help.  The Sunak Campaign has been very slick, very American, also it has moved right, thus this is Channel 4 expect a rough interview.  This blog can not understand why the Conservative Party said YES to a interview of the Conservative Candidates when they were going through the MPs process of the contest.  Channel 4 is peeved that it is being SOLD, thus expect that to come up, also why Sunak in Cabinet opposed the Northern Ireland Protocol in Cabinet but has changed his mind since.  It will be interesting to see who wins the BBC DEBATE tonight, and the different categories, the general public, conservative MPs and finally Conservative members. 

Cabinet ROW over Brexit - Guardian - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

Guardian: Reports " Liz Truss warns Boris Johnson over Brexit border plans....International trade secretary tells PM and chancellor plans risk smuggling and damage to UK reputation  "

Lets Get Real:

This is typical of the left wing remain Guardian, it turns every question in to a CABINET ROW, the final decisons on Brexit will be done by the PM and his close staff.  It seems that the International Trade Departments still has a few REMAIN civil servants in post.  Thus little ownder that the PM wants to reform the civil service, you can not have leaks that turn every story in to a negative for Brexit.  The UK voter if not the UK civil service is waiting for the day that the UK is no longer connected to the dreadful EU.   It can be postulated that the REMAIN press will try to get any story that is negative when it comes to BREXIT, they have seen their 2nd vote dream hit the dust, thus now anything that can be weaponised against Brexit will be used, that is why you have to keep an eagle eye on the REMAIN PRESS, they are like the appeasers of the 1930s, they are everywhere!  They are not one of US!
