Ron DeSantis has really messed up.

Even Chris Christie is polling higher.

DeSantis came to the stupid conclusion that Trump's popularity would drop with the GQP as the indictments piled up, and that he'd be next in line.

He obviously forgot the Fifth Avenue Rule.

Ron should have waited until 2028. Let his mentor have next year and create all the carnage he wants.
It would have given him time to hone his message and maybe solidify a support structure.

Now, he's probably damaged his brand permanently. That and the fact the guy comes off as a total fascist...and not very likeable or relatable.
Either way, he wasn't ready for the big stage.

This cycle's Scott Walker. Only more of a dick.

Rather than run on his strong record as a Conservative Governor from Florida, he centered his campaign as a War on Woke

He also comes off as creepy in person

The staypuft marshmallow man ain't going nowhere either.

Is any candidate ready for the media to malign them 24/7 can paint Hitler mustaches on them?

Of all the candidates, the media probably likes Crispy Cream the most and will pull for him while continuing to destroy the others.

Christie is ahead in New Hampshire. Desantis is ahead in Iowa.

Christie is ahead in New Hampshire. Desantis is ahead in Iowa.

But the media only reports New Hampshire.

But the media only reports New Hampshire.

Yes. Because the media is fundamentally dishonest.

Of real importance is that the anti-Trump forces are emerging.

Neither Iowa or New Hampshire matter.
South Carolina is where the party starts.

There are two different races going on in the GOP primaries. The first is to be Trump's VP, and the second is to be a replacement nominee if something serious happens to his health. Those who bash Trump are dead meat in the GOP.

The media and democrats participating in republican primaries will ensure Trump is the nominee just like they did in 2016 because they figure he is the easiest candidate to beat. They were wrong in 2016. I think this technique might work in the democrats favor for 2024.

Biden and/or Harris will be our president 2025-2029. This is already predetermined. It’s going to be a good show though. Let’s all hold hands and sing songs while we pretend a republican can win the presidency ever again. It’s fun.

The Democrats' Demographic Demolition Derby

Only the White vote should count, because America would have remained an unproductive Stone Age killing field if Whites had never become supreme here. The other races were as insignificant as a World Champion's batboys.

This cycle's Scott Walker. Only more of a dick.

Progressives had to destroy him. He was a danger. Destroying a governor who has enriched his state. Only his real views we need to know. America first. No Ukraine War. One language. A nation with borders. A nation with a common culture that has many from the world. Just the start. That is who the Republican candidate has to emote. That is not what the Progs are. And not what Scott Walker was. And what is painful is that there are many Prog voters who will be better off.

Or maybe he's not the candidate people thought he was.

You sure do have your boogeymen in place.

I get your point - however what makes you believe that e.g. Hispanics and Blacks wouldn't vote for St. Donald in the same ratio as e.g. Whites?
