Yeah, recent polls, Even severely biased right wing RCP has him running even with Biden, with lots of undecideds (although how anyone can be undecided at this point is a mystery to me.)
Yes that you guys are all in a cult. Trump fell ass-backwards into the Presidency, (because we use a bizarre system to select presidents), and you can't just admit you made a mistake and course correct after he lost elections for you in 2018, 2020 and 2022.
If your movement was about the ideas, (as bad as most of them are), DeSantis should be leading Trump easily, as he believes all the same things without the baggage of indictments in four jurisdictions looming.
But instead, we have the party of Family Values excusing paying hush money to porn stars.
the party of Law and Order attacking the FBI.
The party of National Security cheering for Russia to crush its smaller weaker neighbor.
This is what a cult looks like. All that's missing is the Kool-aid.
